About Mary Lane
“My life’s journey of dropping deeper into the heart & soul of Mother Earth has been my own initiation in transforming my relationship with life, death & love. We are not here to just be with the land but to dive into the very heart & soul of Mother Earth. That, I believe, is where we find our own.”
~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.
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.
Individual counsel, classes, and retreats for those who want to explore how they may make friends with death, in alignment with the wisdom of the natural world. Whether it is one meaningful conversation at a time, walking by someone’s side as they traverse their own journey, or an online course, transforming our relationship with death so it is possible to experience it as a sacred passage throughout life or at the end of life is a passion of Mary’s.
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.
