The Physical and Spiritual Intelligence of Plants with Rocio Alarcon
Join us for this exciting webinar that looks deeply at the vast intelligence of the plant world, including plants and trees that heal us, guide us, and feed us. You have probably heard the expression “master plants” and immediately think about psychotropic plants. In this paradigm-shifting webinar we will explore the idea that All plants are master plants and if approached and treated in a sacred manner, have the ability to open doors of perception, heal us at a core level, and nourish us optimally.
Partnering with Nature for a Vibrant Future-Planting Seeds of Hope
As we celebrate ONE’s anniversary, we come together in the present to tend to the future. We heed the occasion of our 10th anniversary as a call to action—join the conversation as we vision a living blueprint for the next ten years and beyond. Our panelists will identify what, from their perspectives, are critical areas that we are in a position to address, where the compost is ready for new seeds to grow, and how we can most effectively turn our vision—a future where people and nature are co-creative partners and all life has the right to thrive—into reality.

As I Tend the Garden, the Garden Tends Me with Lisa Estabrook
The Live webinar is 12:00 PDT/3:00 EDT on Tuesday, August 8th
Join us in conversation with Lisa Estabrook, artist, author and creator of Soulflower Plant Spirit Oracle deck as she shares her journey with her plant spirit mentors. We will explore the power of intentions, living body wisdom, restoring imagination as a super sense, and conscious creation with the elemental realm.
It has always been Lisa’s intention to grow herself which means that the plant spirits have continually helped her stretch her comfort zone! Over the last year or so her gardens have been calling for a new “blueprint" and she is leaning into that and what it can mean for our work in the world.
Feeling empowered and listening to and following the wisdom of our own hearts is an ongoing thread that Lisa is sharing with others as she remembers with the help of the plants. Lisa encourages us all to give ourselves permission to create a life from the inside out rather than the outside in, as so many of us have long been conditioned to do.
Lisa Estabrook is an artist, mother, way shower, author, home herbalist and plant whisperer who has spent the last 30 years figuring out how to live a meaningful, heart-led, healthy and joyful life. The creation of the Soulflower Plant Spirit Oracle deck was the result of a two-year long personal journey of self-discovery and healing which also launched her heART based Soulflower business with a growing range of products intended to support and inspire connection with ourselves and our planet. Lisa's belief is that the more we learn about ourselves, and take responsibility for our own healing (wholing) journeys, the more we will empower and support ourselves and by extension our families, our communities and ultimately the Earth herself. The founder of the online CommUNITY Garden, Lisa lives in Yarmouth, Maine.

Decolonizing Ancestral Memory with Hilary Giovale
This dialogue with Hilary Giovale will explore decolonization. What does it mean to live as a settler on Indigenous lands?

How can we build heart-centered relationships with Indigenous communities and Earth, to create pathways toward healing the harm inflicted by colonialism? This discussion with Hilary will also delve into her experiences with ancestral apology. She will share how apology is a catalyst for healing and forgiveness, building our capacity for wholeness and restoration.
We Were Made for These Times: Grieving into Life
Join O.N.E. Visioning Council members, Pam Montgomery and Jen Frey, as they delve into the depths of grief, sharing its beautiful and powerful role in our lives as well as Plant Allies who help us navigate through grief. In our dominant culture, grief is often considered a weakness and something to pass through quickly, resulting in numbing and other coping mechanisms to help us deny our true feelings. If we want to live full, vibrant lives and particularly if we want to be co-creative partners with Nature, we are compelled to identify and heal our grief. Fortunately, the plants are willing to guide and support us through this process.
We Were Made For These Times with Pam Montgomery and Elyshia Holliday
We invite you to a special teleseminar that highlights the importance of connecting with Nature during this unprecedented time. As we do so, we feel calmer, grounded, and more resilient, which helps us be of service to our family and community with grace and patience. In fact, the deep truth is that many of us have been preparing, even training in a way, for this moment when our mother, the Earth, would begin to heal herself. We are seeing this healing around the world- birds singing, wildlife returning, waters running clear and clean amidst us quieting our lives and slowing down. Let’s use this quiet to deepen our connection with Mother Earth, listen to what she is sharing and allow that to inform our way of life.

HEALING CONNECTION TO NATURE (with-in and with-out) with Karyn Sanders
Join O.N.E. and Karyn Sanders as we focus on healing our relationship with nature and our vital need for connection to all beings.
During this Teleseminar, we look at the trauma caused by living in a way that separates us from our power and the resulting loss of connection with all our relations. Karyn also speaks about how to overcome this separation and heal the wounds we have been carrying in our own lives.
An essential evolution of Sacred Earth Activism is taking the step from healing our own trauma to then serving all our communities. Karyn speaks to this as she talks about her “sacred site” and “water” work and their meaning in the world.

Life is made of community: Lessons from trees in cities and forests with David Haskell
David Haskell spent several years listening to the stories of trees in forests, cities, and coasts. At each, he explored the many interconnections that give us all life. These connections exist at levels, from cells, to ecology, to human culture. In the lives of trees, we see that living beings are made not from "selves" but from networked relationships. Trees therefore tells us both about the fascinating stories of particular places and about the processes that unite all of life on the planet.
