A multilingual and multicultural devotee of Mother Earth, Marysia has spent her life traveling, learning and sharing different regenerative ways of tending to the Earth, healing land, and healing people. She apprenticed with Sage Maurer of The Gaia School of Healing, and works with sustainable sources of healing plants that belong to Western Herbalism, Ayurvedic, Siberian, African, Tibetan and Traditional Chinese Medicine paths. Born in Poland, she carries with her a lineage of European folk herbalism Marysia teaches from her own lineage, her training and her personal experience with the plants and connection to the Earth. She shares only practices passed down to her with permission, honoring the source of the teachings when not her own. Marysia acknowledges that cultural appropriation also refers to a particular power dynamic in which members of a dominant culture take elements from a culture of people who have been systematically oppressed by that dominant group. Marysia is committed to holding a safe, loving and non hierarchical container for learning and growth. Marysia honors plants as sentient beings, elders, healers and teachers. As a Plant Spirit Communicator, Marysia channels messages from the Earth spirits and guides students to connect with plant spirits through meditation and through their bodies, to receive guidance and learn about the constituents, energetics and properties of plants.
