About Mary Lane

Mary Lane is an elder who has walked the archetypal journey through the remembering and integration of the feminine principle. She has distilled the wisdom from her lifelong experiences, deep connection with the natural world, spirit allies, and pivotal trainings that have supported her to translate and articulate the sacred language of our Mother.

What started as a career choice working as a chef over 40 years ago deepened into an indescribable relationship with Mother Earth, as well as food as a vehicle for her wisdom and the sacred reciprocity that is so necessary in our world. The honoring of our Mother’s wisdom, the honoring of all our relations, especially the plants and animals that nourish us as a sacred intimate relationship that life could not exist without, Mary has brought a depth of perspective to what is considered a mundane act of feeding ourselves into a sacred gathering that nourishes body, mind, and soul, drizzled with joy, beauty, and heart connection with others that nothing compares to when gathered around a table together.

After journeying through a spiritual path in many ways, what Mary has discovered is our relationship with food reflects our relationship with ourselves, others, Mother Earth, Spirit, life, and death.

Mary’s greatest joy is creating beautiful meals with local, foraged ingredients that have no cruelty infused into them and sharing an evening together filled with a divine, grounded experience of Mother Earth’s love channeled through Divine Nourishment, joy, laughter, beauty, and heartfelt connection.

For many years Mary has taught programs and mentored women to heal their relationship with their feminine sexual creative nature through recognizing their self-similarity with the natural world.

Over time Mary became very passionate about making friends with death. Her personal walk with beloved spirit allies has brought the importance of healing the separation between the seen and unseen realms in the human psyche to the forefront; she discovered it is critical if we are to have a healthy relationship with death and Mother Earth. Whether it is all the deaths throughout life or the end of life.

As a result of Mary’s walk with making friends with death, through her personal and collective midwifery of the death of the old paradigm, she is stepping forward to support the younger women who are birthing the new paradigm.

Mary’s life path has ultimately created a sacred union of life and death and has supported the transformation of our relationship with both.

Mary also offers Plant Spirit Essences, and consultations alongside the plant essences and online classes.
