Ep.126 Wildness as a Core Intelligence
83 Plays21 days ago
What if wildness is our DEEPEST intelligence?
In this solo episode, I explore how plants model adaptive, root-deep wisdom—and how you can rewild your inner landscape without burning your life down. We’ll move from self-containment to flow, learn to read openings like a plant reads light, and create the conditions (soil, water, community) your authentic expression needs to thrive.
You’ll leave with a grounded way to notice where your gifts want to grow now, plus simple practices to partner with a plant ally and build a living ecosystem that supports your next evolution.
What You’ll Learn About Being Yourself and Personal Growth
🌱 Wildness = adaptability: respond to change without losing your essence.
🌱 Flow over containment: grow toward light, set living membranes (not rigid walls).
🌱 Prepare the ground: design conditions—time, space, community—so your gifts can root.
🌱 Partner with a plant ally to mirror your wild intelligence in daily life.

Introduction and Summer Reflections
00:00:00
Speaker
Hello, hello, hello everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Reconnect with Plant Wisdom. It's me, Tigreya Gartenia. It's been a while since I've done a solo episode.
00:00:12
Speaker
Every single time I get ready to do one, I have this amazing guest that I end up recording and then, you know, time just escapes and I'm like, okay, well, I guess I'll do it next week and then next week and then next week.
00:00:24
Speaker
It's been a very, very, very busy summer in such great and amazing ways. So many great podcast hosts. I mean, hosts. I'm the host. Guests plus lots of different activities happening here. and um I've actually even been home for a while Damanhur. tend to travel back and forth quite a bit, but there's just so much good stuff happening that I've decided to stay for a little bit longer. And now that the Damanhur Fest is over and I'm picking up a lot of the Damanhur International pieces that are happening, I'm just really, I don't know, fulfilled, excited. There's so many good things, which brings me to...
Theme of Wildness and Societal Pressures
00:01:02
Speaker
today's episode and the reason why I wanted to do this. It's been a continuing theme. You're sort of hearing it in my solo episodes, but also in some of the other things that I've been talking about, especially in the work that I'm doing with Reconnect with Plant Kin, which is my new workshop series that happens once a month.
00:01:19
Speaker
Don't worry, there's information. At the end ah of this episode, I'll put some information, plus um I'll also share it in the show notes. But um I've been talking a lot about how much we are taught to tame ourselves Have you ever noticed that? I mean, I'm sure, especially if you're, excuse me to say this, but you're a woman, you probably know this. You've been told to prune away all the wild edges. And in doing so, you usually end up pruning away all the very parts of yourself.
00:01:45
Speaker
It's kind of like a person who has this beautiful rose bush and says, oh, I'm just going to prune. And in the end, it ends up like Morticia Adams was there. and everything just got cut and all you have is like thorns.
00:01:57
Speaker
And so you're the very thing you wanted to prune away, which was your quote unquote thorny parts, don't even get me started on the fact that in my opinion, that doesn't exist, but you wanted to tame that away. And yet that's the part that actually stays.
00:02:10
Speaker
And the reason is because these are the things that actually help you thrive in your harshest conditions and they're the ones that are buried in our less understood and rather than forming relationships with them, we end up kind of trying to get rid of them because really one of the things I've been pondering And in our plant-inspired masterclass discussions and in the book that we're currently reading for the Plant Wisdom Book Club, um we've been talking a lot about what if wildness is actually our deepest intelligence?
00:02:42
Speaker
It's that core part of me that really knows what um those elements that are most important for survival. I mean, picture this, a single plant that's growing out of a crack in the sidewalk, right?
00:02:54
Speaker
No gardener planted key there. No one is watering key and yet key thrives.
Metaphors of Wildness and Resilience
00:03:00
Speaker
And how is it? You know, key belongs to no one, yet key belongs completely to the ecosystem that key is living in. And In this context, right, when we think about wild, we refer to growing spontaneously in self-maintaining populations.
00:03:19
Speaker
It's about me being able to not just survive, but thrive in any environment and You know, when we think about plants in this way, we think, oh, how beautiful this is, how plants really live in these natural um ecosystems and how they can exist and how they continuously are doing, you know, what is necessary in order to thrive and grow and and mutate and evolve.
00:03:46
Speaker
And Yet, when we think about this for ourselves, we don't look at it the same way. I mean, just think of a weed, right? These beautiful wild plants that we talk about. For ages, kin have been revered for their medicinal and their curative values. But when society realized that they couldn't be controlled or tamed, then all of a sudden the word passes from you know wild plant collaborator, from the apple of a herbologist's... Herbologist?
00:04:17
Speaker
her Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. You know, they pass through that phase of like, oh, my goodness, these are the best plants in the world to oh, no, um this is bad. Right. Because just the same as society couldn't figure out, oh, wait a minute. These are plants that anybody could use. You don't need a specialized doctor. You don't need to like.
00:04:39
Speaker
Um, you don't need to listen to anybody else. You can follow your intuition, connect directly to this plants and decide whether or not that plant is going to heal you. And all of a sudden that these plants are now labeled bad.
00:04:49
Speaker
Once you realize that you can't control or tame them and your wild pants plant parts, I can't even speak. I get so excited. Your wild parts are actually the exact same way. They come from this essential nature, the combination of your instinctual animalness and and that presence of that plantness.
00:05:07
Speaker
And they can actually be extremely constructive. These wild parts that are untamable, that are, and I wouldn't even say untamable. I say you can guide them, you can work with them, and you might not be able to completely, you shouldn't eliminate them. And that's, I think what you mean by taming is people is the idea of like, let me break it.
00:05:26
Speaker
Let me break you like you break a horse. Oh God, I hate that statement. um And so these are the parts of you that have been labeled as destructive, but in reality they're extremely constructive.
00:05:38
Speaker
And it all depends on the needs of the ecosystem where you apply them. So, but because these parts aren't born from any kind of societal rules and they're meant to be used instinctively by flowing into them, by feeling them, they're often misunderstood. And that means that you're misunderstood and they may not even be welcomed in so many different perspectives because we see destruction as always bad, even though in an ecosystem, destruction is a natural part of the overall cycle and process.
00:06:07
Speaker
So I would bet that many times these wildness, these wild parts of yourself, you've either lost touch with them completely or, you know, you've suppressed them completely or they are
Podcast Mission and Community Engagement
00:06:19
Speaker
completely out of control.
00:06:20
Speaker
So in episode 126, we're going to explore wildness as a core intelligence. how wildness is actually a source of resilience, adaptability, and authentic expression, and how plants really model this for us, and how you can rewild your own inner landscape.
00:06:38
Speaker
So in this episode, I'm going to share with you ways to help you remember your wild intelligence so that you can thrive in these ever-changing conditions that we call life.
00:06:49
Speaker
So let's get into it. Welcome to Reconnect with Plant Wisdom. I'm your host Tigria Gardenia, nature-inspired mentor, certified life coach, and the founder of the Naturally Conscious Community.
00:07:01
Speaker
For over a decade, I've been known as a world ambassador for plant advocacy, working closely with plants to share their practical wisdom to help you consciously embody the elements of life that nourish your evolution.
00:07:13
Speaker
In this podcast, I delve into ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways of plants. Together, we'll explore how ecosystem thinking helps you overcome limiting beliefs, understand the true nature of relationships, and live an authentic, impactful life.
00:07:32
Speaker
Okay, so... I'm going to touch on a whole, scene when I started to plan this episode, oh my goodness, my list was huge. Because again, wildness has been this continuous thread. I mean, in the um in the Reconnect with Plant Winkin workshop, I'm slowly moving through different aspects that we often call wildness. For example, ah your shadow self.
00:07:55
Speaker
um parts of you that are in your aura that you might have lost touch with, um lost senses, senses that we have we don't really connect with. So these workshops, one by one, have been going through these different topics because it's extremely important for us to ease into it. If you try to throw yourself completely into it,
00:08:15
Speaker
I don't want to say you're lose control, but unless you give yourself that space and and that's totally possible too. I know plenty of people who have taken like just basically a break to reconnect with who they are and have taken a break from society for like, you know, whatever, a few years in order to reconnect to them.
00:08:31
Speaker
Not all of us have the benefit to be able to do that. So I'm trying with the workshop series to go, slowly step by step through them so that you can start to form this relationship. And in reality, that's the reason why the naturally a conscious community also exists to give you slow Pete ways for you to interact using the different forms of intelligences that we all have.
00:08:52
Speaker
So we have, you know, discussions for the people who are more verbal like myself. We have creativity in writing for those that need to express themselves without, you know, the need of passing through mental filters.
00:09:04
Speaker
We have the book club because sometimes you need examples that you see from the other world. We have classes because sometimes you need to understand the science, the literature. Like how is it that plants specifically do it or what are the other models that work with us?
00:09:16
Speaker
So, and and oftentimes we have, and they're all kind of experiential in their own way. So many, many different aspects in the naturally conscious community give you the ability to be immersed in a way that works really well for you. And I think this is important. We need these spaces, these safe spaces to explore and think outside the box and even say things that are silly and that might have some kind of root, but maybe you haven't yet figured out what that looks like.
00:09:42
Speaker
So when I was working on this ah episode, I started to list out all the topics and I finally ended up kind of narrowing it down to the top four type
Key Aspects of Wildness and Evolutionary Strategy
00:09:52
Speaker
of pieces. So the first thing I want to talk about is wildness as an evolutionary strategy.
00:09:56
Speaker
So we're not starting with the idea of wildness um as something that kind of just is, but it actually has a purpose. It's what helps us evolve. And it's not the kind of wildness that you've been taught to fear or suppress, but the kind that plants, for example, live every single day. This is the wildness that knows how to adapt, how to take root,
00:10:17
Speaker
how to know when the moment is right and how I'm supposed to act in that moment from an instinctual or from a presence level and how to really stay true to your essence, no matter what changes around you. And this is an important aspect of wildness.
00:10:31
Speaker
Your wildness, that part of you that is to a certain extent untamed is, i heard a beautiful phrase that I've started to use now in one of the interviews that I did, which is your essential nature. I call it your true nature, but I like essential nature. It's that part of you that is just true to your core.
00:10:47
Speaker
And that has, because it is true to your core, it has to have like 360 degrees. It has to have the part of you that is destructive and the part of you that is constructive all built into it.
00:10:57
Speaker
So in a few minutes, when we get to that, I'm going to share with you how plants embody this type of of intelligence and how reclaiming those wild edges can help you thrive in the shifting landscape, especially, you know, the world is just changing so fast that this wildness becomes extremely important for us to be able to connect to.
00:11:15
Speaker
The next thing I'm going to talk about is the ecosystem principle applied to wildness. Wildness doesn't just shape individual plants, right? It keeps the entire ecosystem alive because each one of these plants Each one of the animals also in the insects and, you know, the water, all these different elements are being true to their core. And so therefore they express themselves and can with such comfort and ease that they can easily adapt and modify and work, you know, storms, wandering roots, wandering roots, wandering seeds is what I wanted to say. Expanding roots is what I was thinking of.
00:11:52
Speaker
I need to slow down because I'm getting excited and so I'm going too fast. Basically, what I'm talking about is all these things that we call disruptions, right? Things that disrupt the normal harm harmony of what we think it should be.
00:12:05
Speaker
And these are, but instead in the natural world, what keeps nature diverse, what keeps nature resilient, what keeps nature um expanding and thriving because these storms or these seeds that pop in out of nowhere because they just flew in actually change pieces and help better adapt to what's happening, whether that's, you know, plants that fly in via seeds, but that end up being really great for shade in moments when there's more sun because of climate change, for example.
00:12:34
Speaker
And all of this is actually really true to us as human beings. Sometimes breaking away from what's controlled and familiar is exactly what you need for new growth to happen. As I'm recording this, I'm getting ready to go on a solo retreat.
00:12:49
Speaker
I'm going to take two days by myself where I've ah booked a a place away from where I am in the mountains going in. And I just want to spend two days with my own thoughts away from my familiar settings, no computers, no distractions from these types of things, my notebooks, a spa, also some nature hikes.
00:13:10
Speaker
And I'm just going to spend two days in my own kind of solo retreat. And this is a way for me to get back in touch with my own wellness. And this is what's important for growth. So I'm going to share with you some other stories of how we can do this and how we can really stay in connection in that way.
00:13:27
Speaker
The other thing I want to work from is from containment, like moving from trying to contain your wildness, which is what I think, to flowing with your wildness, to to having a mastery over those, you know, characteristics and traits and talents, and at the same time, knowing how to flow.
00:13:44
Speaker
We often say here in Damanhur, the idea of of guiding synchronicity because you can't really control synchronicity. Synchronicity is going to flow in its own way and I need to be able to guide it in the direction I want but also be able to use it to my advantage and know how in order to work with it.
00:14:00
Speaker
And in the human world we're often taught to like hold ourselves in, to stay within the lines, to fit neatly into expectations. And as we know, plants don't do that. I mean, you can give a plant a pad, a planter, a pot, and the plant is going to grow. but in whatever direction you want, I have these beautiful kind of cactus-y like plants that are growing in front of me. They don't, I don't know what species they are. i've actually never wanted to look it up.
00:14:27
Speaker
I love them. They come from the south. Kin come from the south of Italy. i'd have no idea how they made it into my home, but they were here when I got here. And they have like this one main spike with like all these other little parts. I have no understanding whatsoever.
00:14:44
Speaker
I put a pot and I'm like, one has a round pot, one has a square pot, because I'm trying to understand how this plant wants to grow. And it's been really interesting to like, where do the spikes come out? When instead do they let go of the spikes?
00:14:57
Speaker
um Now there's like all these little babies that are growing and which ones are going to grow tall like the mother. It's really fascinating to me. And it helps me see how stretching, expanding and reaching into every space really helps you show who you are and that you have to explore these.
00:15:15
Speaker
Pulling out spikes sometimes and other areas are really soft and smooth with no spikes. So in this
Endorsement of Zencastr
00:15:20
Speaker
section, I'm really going to explore what it means to move from self-containment into flow. and how plants can guide us to do the same.
00:15:27
Speaker
And then I'm going to talk about preparing the ground for your rewilding. Look, rewilding doesn't happen just by accident. Yes, wildness is instinctive. It's a part of you, but for it to thrive,
00:15:41
Speaker
um Even that means the right conditions. So, you know, seeds need light and water and good soil. And in this section, I want to talk to you about how do you prepare your own personal grant?
00:15:52
Speaker
Because again, if you have not allowed that wildness of yourself to really come out, it's, you know, it's strong and it needs experimentation. And so in this section, I really want to talk about how do you create, you know, yourself and your community and prepare and explore and give yourself space and permission to also make mistakes so that your wild intelligence can grow strong and steady.
00:16:19
Speaker
So by the end of this episode, if I've done my work right, i want you to see wildness as this core form of intelligence that you have. Just like you have emotional intelligence, just like you have mental intelligence, but wild intelligence is also important.
00:16:35
Speaker
And for you to identify at least one area in your life where you really want to reintroduce this wildness, just start thinking about what you want to do to invite more wildness into your life. And and i've but I've got some special stuff to help you with that.
00:16:49
Speaker
But before i go into all of this in depth and depth, I want to invite you to connect to one of my eco-conscious business partners. Because when you support them, you support the germination of more intentional business all over over the world.

Speaker
I want you to have the same experiences I do for all of my podcasting needs, and it's time to share your story. Okay.
00:18:26
Speaker
Let's start with this whole concept of wildness as an evolutionary strategy. When I say wildness, I am not talking about chaos necessarily, although wildness can be chaos, but chaos again is a trait, you know, chaos, just like catalysts, just like, um, bridging, just like many other aspects. So I don't really mean being out of control and acting without care.
00:18:52
Speaker
Wildness in the way that plants have taught me and the way that I've worked with others is about adaptability. It's about um opportunity. It's about seeing something and a path that others might not see and being true to that.
00:19:07
Speaker
It's the ability to meet changing conditions without losing your essence. In the June plant-inspired masterclass, where I have been doing over the last few months, we've been hosting discussions.
00:19:20
Speaker
So rather than me teaching something in the masterclass, I'll bring up a concept and then we'll go deeper into that concept in a very, very open discussion and we discussed how wildness is actually ah highly intelligent strategy for survival.
00:19:35
Speaker
A wild plant doesn't ask for permission and your wildness is so true to your core. The characteristics of you that are connected to that wildness know who they are and know their place.
00:19:48
Speaker
And so when key notices an opening, when a plant notices an opening, Like, for example, I don't know, light hitting a patch of soil or the moisture changing in the air, or maybe there there's a gap in the canopy of the trees.
00:20:01
Speaker
That plant knows how to move in, how to use that, how to capitalize on that. And so you if you think of plants that self-seed, for example, one year they're here and then, you know, next year they've moved, they've gone to somewhere else, maybe just a few meters away, carried by wind or by water or maybe even animal fur.
00:20:22
Speaker
They're not wandering around aimlessly, right? They're they're responding to these opportunities, to possibilities, to to what the ecosystem is asking for them in that moment.
00:20:35
Speaker
And that is really ah core essence of your wildness. My wildness is this place that sits between my animal instinctiveness and my presence of plantness and my awareness of plantness.
00:20:48
Speaker
And it's this unbroken connection between who I am and the environment that I'm in. And so therefore each one of us is constantly creating and shaping the other. And this is what plants do so well. And that if you work very closely, especially with a spirit wild plant, if you work with a spirit wild plant like dandelion,
00:21:08
Speaker
you can get so much information and knowledge on what this means. Because for humans, wildness works in the same way. It's not about recklessness. It's about noticing where you can grow, where it is that you can expand, and having the courage to do it, like being able to lean on and rely on that wildness, even if it's unexpected, even if it's outside of your comfort zone.
Personal Experiences of Reclaiming Wild Traits
00:21:34
Speaker
And here's where really the challenge of using your wildness and of working with your wildness comes in, because many of us have been so conditioned to control To plan.
00:21:46
Speaker
Oh, the fe the infamous stay in your lane. That we've forgotten how to respond instinctively to what life has to offer. When an instinct or ah an instinctual but thinkual response comes up we We doubt it and not doubted in the healthy way, which is doubt of like, is it the right time? Is this the right place? How do I do this?
00:22:12
Speaker
But more of, oh my goodness, am I allowed to do this? Should I do it? Like, and I start to then dismantle it. We've forgotten how. to really respond to what life offers us.
00:22:24
Speaker
We hold ourselves back. We not just tame our way, we clip our wings. And over my lifetime, I've had to reconquer many of my own wild parts because some of them were hidden by traumas and others,
00:22:38
Speaker
and the ones by traumas I'm still working on other times I was really just not encouraged to bring them out. I was either, they were just ignored like, Oh, that let's just pretend that doesn't exist.
00:22:49
Speaker
Or I was flat out told no, you know, This is too much. Do not do. And it's interesting because as I look back on many of the um periods of my life that shaped that too much, I can now see the i I can see my part in the I didn't know how to express it.
00:23:11
Speaker
Jealousy, fears. You've heard me talk about this when I talk about my, in my critic, my, my critical side, but that part of it i get, but then there's the part of you're disrupting the system and that catalyst side of myself being constantly having like water poured over it.
00:23:29
Speaker
I've always been considered too strong, which um I've always interpreted badly because when I was even very, very young, I was told that my fact of being too strong would lead me to be bullied, to be um ridiculed because people thought I could take it. And so people would make fun of me constantly and put me down.
00:23:50
Speaker
I was told I should give the space to someone else because they need a little extra help because I'm strong, so I don't need that help. And so not only did I try to hide that part of myself and all these different characteristics that were coming out very strongly, I also didn't allow my softer sides to emerge, you know, either. I didn't allow myself to...
00:24:10
Speaker
um to be more vulnerable, to to to be more gentle because I was considered strong. And when I was like vulnerable, people took that as like maybe I was faking it or they they just didn't know how to interpret it. So without one, i actually, the other was stunted as well, leaving me in this perpetual limbo.
00:24:31
Speaker
Over the last 15 years, I've had several wild plant guides really help me to better understand this. Chickweed, for example, helped me be physically strong while still capable of asking for help.
00:24:43
Speaker
And stinging nettle is really showing me how a sting can be useful when you consciously choose to use it and... take responsibility because no one relishes creating pain, but there are times when it's the best way to move something or someone forward.
00:25:00
Speaker
And so if you're going to create that sting, you know, disrupt that piece in that way, you have to be willing to, to also, um, take the blowback and actually help rebuild the pieces. So wildness really invites us to remember to meet life where it is, not to where you've been told it should be.
00:25:23
Speaker
And this adaptability isn't just about surviving as an individual. It's also the heartbeat of entire ecosystems. It is this you know, moving and and instinctually capturing the moment and then building off of what others have. In Dhamman-Hur, when we talk about art, one of the canons of Dhamman-Hurian art is that Dhamman-Hurian art builds off of Dhamman-Hurian art and also it builds off of where it last left off, which is also kind of one of the canons of stigma-gy or one of the aspects of nature that is about I pick up somebody else's trace and I continue on with that because I know that that's the right thing to do.
00:26:03
Speaker
And that's part of also your wildness is is being comfortable enough to like pick up that trace and then build from that trace in my own way. And that sometimes means that trace took us up to here. And now I need to destroy a piece of that in order to be able to grow further, because if I keep it where it is, it's too stable.
00:26:22
Speaker
And so all of that is really about getting deeper into your own wildness and your instinctual self. When it comes to your ecosystem, you want to really think about how do you apply these principles?
00:26:39
Speaker
Like, what is it that it means to create an ecosystem when it comes to my wildness? Because another thing about wildness, another myth, is the idea that wildness means you're on your own, right? Like the wild one is like, you know, a lone wolf and doesn't do anything with ever.
00:26:55
Speaker
But in nature, wild elements are not really mistakes. They're actually the pulse of renewal, which means that they're necessary inside of an ecosystem. When a storm knocks down an old tree and suddenly light floods the forest floor or a seed drifts from a parent plant and lands in a place that no one planned for before,
00:27:18
Speaker
there is just an opportunity for wild growth and that growth includes many different species. So in reality, your wildness is actually what forms union. It's not what separates you.
00:27:30
Speaker
It does in the sense that you are an individual, but you're in an interrelated experience. So all of these moments of disruption, and that could be what your wildness has to bring out, ah actually keep systems alive.
00:27:46
Speaker
They prevent stagnation. They create space for diversity to thrive. And I just want to be really clear for a second that I am not talking about extroverts versus introverts. You can still be wild and be an introvert and be quiet. Like I said,
00:28:01
Speaker
I'm going off right now to a two-day solo retreat. I will most likely talk to very, very few people because that's my goal. My goal is to be in myself. This is me honoring my wildness.
00:28:14
Speaker
This is me exploring this part of myself. This is also me disrupting my own systems by doing it. So please don't mistake the idea that wildness means, you know, the crazy woman or man in the forest that you know you come near and just like chops your head off.
00:28:33
Speaker
Wildness can also be expressed in so many different ways. And in our own human life, we have our own versions of storms and of wandering seeds and of expanding roots and of all those types of disruptors.
00:28:47
Speaker
Sometimes they come from the outside, like unexpected events or losses or opportunities. And sometimes we choose them and we build them from the inside. We decide to move. we decide to change or to break a familiar pattern like what I'm going to be doing by getting out of Dodge for two days.
00:29:04
Speaker
One of the clearest examples of this in my own life happened in Damanhur when I decided to move out of the nucleo that I was living in. I had been living in this nucleo for many, many, many years, many years.
00:29:15
Speaker
And for those of you that are kind of new to this whole Dhammenhur talk, Dhammenhur is actually, our nucleus are a shared homes. We live in groups of anywhere from five or eight all the way up to like the biggest one I lived in was 31.
00:29:28
Speaker
And so these are kind of little communities within the larger Dhammenhurian communities. and The last Nucleo I lived in, I loved the people. Okay. I loved to the people. I loved the house. The house was beautiful.
00:29:39
Speaker
But inside, after so many years, I could feel that I had stopped evolving. The Nucleo has ah a mission. It has a project. It has a series of things that that um the Nucleo carries out.
00:29:52
Speaker
And this environment that had once nourished me had become too familiar, way too predictable and the the demographics within the people were changing where I was in a stage of growth and evolution and they were more in a stage, many of them were more in a stage of slowing down and of rooting deeper into it.
00:30:14
Speaker
So I kept nudging for small changes and even they themselves were talking about wanting change, but they weren't willing to do the work that was necessary to bring that change about.
00:30:25
Speaker
So I could have stayed and just kept kind of moving in little things, or i could make this bold change for myself, really step into my wildness and see this as an opportunity.
00:30:37
Speaker
So when I announced my decision to leave the house, there was many people in the house that were really surprised. Some were even worried that they thought I might separate too much from the community by moving out of this particular nucleo.
00:30:48
Speaker
And I understand that that was the the concern, but I also knew deep down in myself that this wasn't about leaving. it was about ah capturing or or taking advantage of an opportunity that was being presented to me.
00:31:02
Speaker
So I first moved into kind of an ecotone phase where I was in that liminal space between connected to a nuclear family and being completely detached. I connected to another family and I would do some of the routines that you normally do living in a nuclear, but I was doing it in this other one while living someplace different.
00:31:20
Speaker
And it felt strange and it was kind of cool. It was a great family, again, great people. And I learned a lot of stuff. But I was floating between these two worlds. And that space gave me a perspective to understand that in the direction I wanted to take for myself, but as well as for Dom and Her overall, that wasn't going to take me where I needed to go.
00:31:41
Speaker
So eventually i fully stepped away actually from nuclear life. And I decided that I wanted to experience because I had come to Dom and Her. And in all those years, I had always lived inside of a nuclear I had been very active and my my focus had been very much in my own business, my own work, my own connections and friendships, but also very much connected to the Nucleo itself.
00:32:04
Speaker
i I didn't have a broader view. So when I stepped out, it wasn't an act of rebellion. It wasn't me saying something was wrong. This was an act of trust in my wild nature, my ability to create connections in different ways.
00:32:20
Speaker
And so I basically replanted myself. I freed myself from a bunch of obligations that I had that I was filling out because I was in a nucleo. And it wasn't about like not wanting to participate. It was about giving myself room to breathe, room to imagine.
00:32:36
Speaker
And with that space, I began connecting with other members of the community in new ways. People that were outside of my nuclear because we have these community because we have these kind of regional communities that a number of nucleos, which oftentimes is what you stay with. These are the the closest people you hang out with. I started hanging out with friends a lot more.
00:32:57
Speaker
And I started spending time working on different types of projects, kind of making myself known um for who I am today rather than who I was when I first arrived.
00:33:07
Speaker
And I started to share a lot of my talents without filtering kind of to the nucleo or without being afraid that I couldn't give myself too much to those because I had my nucleo to go to. I even stepped away from other things that I had been doing in Dom and Her kind of full time since I started.
00:33:25
Speaker
And I, I said, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to allow my wild nature to just sort of explore in either ways. And, It was amazing because I found myself kind of really drawn to transversal projects, projects that cut through all of Dom and Her, so they're more federal projects, which is funny because that's sort of the way my mind thinks. My mind thinks big. My mind thinks overall systems and approaches.
00:33:51
Speaker
And so I found myself able to work on initiatives that cross these unusual boundaries and they touched multiple parts of Dhammenhur at the same time. One of those is Dhammenhur International, where you've started to hear hear me talk about in social media and such, which would never have been possible if I had stayed in my own environment in the Nucleo because it didn't allow my kind of gregarious and kind of collaborative part to really come out. I didn't have the bandwidth to or the
00:34:23
Speaker
environment to show i had spent many years in a nuclear sort of healing growing understanding that part of life that I had and now I had the opportunity to think about that in a very very different level so I became an instructor for medidaction for new initiatives here and I made my talents known and was asked to start collaborating on projects and it's funny because at beginning I was literally literally told like we kind of want you to collaborate on this, but we're afraid of collaborating. And some groups even originally said no, when other friends of mine asked them like, you, you should talk to Tigria.
00:35:04
Speaker
And they were like, well, we remember Tigria as being blah, blah, blah, blah. blah which was true at that time. So I had to, i kind of was like, you know what? I need to show who I am today.
00:35:16
Speaker
And inside of the Nucleo, I'm not doing that. So all the things I would have struggled to do while in the Nucleo, since I was a different phase of my life where I felt, um,
00:35:27
Speaker
where I really felt like I could break new soil and evolve to a new level. And that choice to break away, to really sit with my wildness, to disrupt what was happening, to plant a seed into new territory, for me, ended up bringing me even deeper into what had brought me to Dominher 10 years before this or whatever it was when I did this.
00:35:52
Speaker
So I had to give space to that part of myself. I had to till the land, to aerate the soil, to really move into new areas of growth. And while I felt guilty about disrupting the balance of my nucleo,
00:36:07
Speaker
By then, luckily, I had learned how to use these destructive characteristics with gentleness and with kindness. So I didn't break all the ties with my old nucleo. I still um have lots of friends, although I did ruffle some feathers at the very beginning.
00:36:23
Speaker
But after the dust settled, They they fell into a new slower pace and I can continue my rapid pace and my larger yields that I was starting to have. So in the end, it was all about my ability to tap into that wild aspect of myself and connection that doesn't have to have this like specific way of doing it.
00:36:44
Speaker
And so it could be a wider kind of connection, one that allowed me to really contribute in ways I couldn't have imagined before. So the lesson is really simple, but it's not easy at all. Sometimes to keep the ecosystem of the life thr of your life thriving, you have to invite that wildness that really disrupts. You have to risk disrupting what's stable to so that something richer and more alive can actually take root.
00:37:10
Speaker
So
Flow Over Containment
00:37:11
Speaker
hopefully that makes sense. If it doesn't, of course, as always, please feel free to leave me a comment or, you know, send me a message or come into the Naturally Conscious community. And there you can either post or send me a DM.
00:37:22
Speaker
um And so all of this really kind of takes me to this perspective of you have to move out of trying to contain yourself. your wildness and in flowing with your wildness. Now look, I know that containment is a skill.
00:37:37
Speaker
It can keep us safe in dangerous situations. It can help us focus when the world is pulling us in a hundred million directions. And for many of us, containment has kind of become a default.
00:37:50
Speaker
It's not really a conscious choice. If it's a conscious choice, healthy. If it's something you just do to kind of stay out of trouble or because that's how you were taught to do things, you Maybe it's time to have a conversation.
00:38:03
Speaker
We learn to really contain ourselves, to be acceptable, to keep from upsetting someone, to avoid being too much. Oh my goodness. As I've been working with the whole phrase too much, at first, all these memories of being young started to flow.
00:38:20
Speaker
young all the way through to my 30s, like of being called too much started to flow from my from my teen, not even my teen, probably my preteen years. And I think about all the times when I held back my laughter when I was afraid I was being too loud or when I bit my tongue when my opinion would ruffle feathers Or when I would shrink when i didn't want to outshine the person next to me.
00:38:45
Speaker
And i think about how today I handle those same type of situations. Now, that doesn't mean I don't hold my tongue. Trust me, there are plenty of times when I hold my tongue. But I don't hold my tongue to hide back.
00:38:56
Speaker
I hold my tongue to think about how I want to express something for a determined outcome. So I think about, ah use that wildness to like bring up whatever it is.
00:39:08
Speaker
And then I guide it through to the words, to the actions, to the behaviors that are going to be more effective for the end result to come out.
00:39:20
Speaker
Plants don't contain themselves in that way. If there's space, they grow into it. If there's light, they lean toward it. You know, kin know what it is that is necessary for their evolution and growth.
00:39:33
Speaker
If there's an opening in the soil, right, the plant is going to send some roots down there. They don't apologize for taking space. How many times have you had a pot where either the plant has broken through the pot or is growing off the sides of the plot or is like in some ways screaming at you, hey, get me out of here.
00:39:53
Speaker
Plants don't apologize for taking up space. They don't ask, will this be too much? Kin simply respond to what's available. and in call And in ecology, in ecology, ah in ecology I had, I was listening, I think I've told you this before, but I'm just going to repeat it because it's so important. I was in, I was listening to a conference where they talked about how ecology is just natural sociology. It's just relationships in nature. And I was like, yes, that is the best definition for ecology I've ever heard.
00:40:24
Speaker
It is natural sociology. It is relationships in nature. And in ecology, when we're talking about what, you know, this whole idea of being filling in the space, it's called filling in a niche.
00:40:37
Speaker
A niche is not a rigid or is not a rigid container. It's a set of conditions that support growth. If conditions change, plants adapt. Key may flower early.
00:40:49
Speaker
Key may grow taller. a Key may shift to where the roots are going. plant isn't thinking about being approved and of you liking what color the flower is or the shape of the leaf.
00:41:02
Speaker
Key is thinking about what is best for me and my ecosystem. Where is my expansion? Where is my contribution and where do I receive? And I've seen this also in my own life, especially when I've stepped into roles that felt bigger than I was ready for.
00:41:19
Speaker
I mean, my instinct was to contain. to play a little bit smaller until I felt pretty prepared because again, i was seen as too much and then they would blame that and ugh.
00:41:31
Speaker
But the truth is that readiness really, really, it never comes. It never comes in these tiny, little, complete packages. It comes in the doing. And just like a vine that is like growing in the ground until he finds something to climb,
00:41:49
Speaker
I had to start moving into opportunities that were in front of me. I had to trust that instinctual nature of myself. I had to use those characteristics that maybe weren't always liked, but that I had learned how to master.
00:42:03
Speaker
And then i could go into a direction that I hoped would take me where I wanted to go. And if not feel super comfortable that I would know how to change this very past podcast is actually a great example of that. I first, I played it really safe.
00:42:19
Speaker
I started with topics that I knew really well. And the origin of this was like, I'm going to create three shorter podcast episodes. They explore one topic, then maybe wrap it up in a masterclass.
00:42:32
Speaker
And I tried that a few times and it just didn't work. And so i i it was like, it's not a podcast. This is actually just a bunch of mini lectures. That's, that's not what we're trying to do.
00:42:43
Speaker
So just as quickly as I started, to be honest, I think I did maybe like, I don't even think I did not even 10 episodes. I maybe did like five or six or whatever. And then I took a month break to regroup because I was like, why am I being so conservative? What am I doing? What, what am I supposed to express in this podcast?
00:43:02
Speaker
Why was I so afraid of saying on this microphone, what I really thought? And I sat with Cattail and I asked Cattail a lot of questions, so many questions about myself, about, you know, my emotions, my audience, my needs, obviously modifying them to plant understandability, but ah really also about what the plants themselves, what did plants want me to share? How was I supposed to be serving plants?
00:43:31
Speaker
And then I started my podcast again, this time saying a little more, letting myself flow a little more. And I dismantled all of the format that I had originally created using that, you know, critical personality that I have that tends to find the faults in everything.
00:43:46
Speaker
And in this vault, I started to find my voice, right? I went from long rambly. If you listen to the first episodes, you'll hear that they're just this long rambling kind of podcast where I would just have one main topic and I would just let myself talk on it.
00:44:01
Speaker
And um then I started to speak really freely. So I would really get deeper into it, but it was still rambling. Then I started to give myself an outline and things started to click together. i started to change the paradigm.
00:44:13
Speaker
I needed to ask more questions with curiosity, to speak my mind without fear, to trust my instinct, my wildness, my, my, that place between that animalness and that plantness and that the conversation would lead where it needed to go.
00:44:30
Speaker
And so playing around in that space allowed me to be again, true to myself, true to that essential nature of myself's. Plants show us that flow doesn't mean going in every single direction at once.
00:44:42
Speaker
Plant flows towards what nourishes key. And that's what you should do. Trust that your instinct, that that wild part of you, that that part of you that doesn't have any rules, that doesn't follow the expectations, that really just trusts in themselves and can lead you where it is that you will be most nourished and invest in that. Invest in growing out those parts of yourself, those branches, those roots, anything that is necessary to bring that part of you to life.
00:45:10
Speaker
And let go of the ones that drain your energy, the ones that you try to contain all the time.
Preparing for Rewilding and Personal Growth
00:45:16
Speaker
Flow is about direction. It's expansion with purpose. In human terms, it means asking, where is there light for me right now? Right.
00:45:25
Speaker
Where is this fertile soil? Where can my roots stretch deeper and where? um How do I say this? Where are the spaces that are going to keep me healthily contained?
00:45:39
Speaker
And where are the spaces that are going to allow me to expand? So for me, practicing flow often means saying yes, before I figured out every single step, which is still scary as hell.
00:45:51
Speaker
It means showing up to conversations I feel unprepared for. even though I've prepared. In other words, it doesn't mean being reckless. I still prepare, but I also allow myself to be in awe and in wonder and to follow where that is because I trust in myself. I trust in my true essence, my wild nature.
00:46:13
Speaker
I trust that my wild intelligence is going to meet me where I need. So I prep. I do do the things that are important to make sure that I am ready, but I don't let that hold me back from also jumping in when is necessary for me to push beyond what feels comfortable.
00:46:31
Speaker
Containment has its place, but when it becomes a cage, it stops being protective and it starts being limiting. And flow is what keeps life moving. And your wild intelligence, your, and I'm putting it my head, which is not exactly the right metaphor for those that are watching the video, because it's not about mental and it's not even about emotional.
00:46:51
Speaker
It's about that space in between that allows new connections and ideas and experiences to emerge through a series of characteristics that know how to create life, that know how to sustain life, that know how to merge and evolve new lives.
00:47:07
Speaker
Plant reminds us all the time that if there's space for you to grow, you're meant to grow into it. Not later, not when it's perfect, but now. And so to do this, you have to prepare yourself.
00:47:20
Speaker
the ground for your rewilding. If you have been containing for most of your life, do not expect to just peel off the bandaid and everything is going to work. If you want wildness to flourish, you have to give it somewhere to take root.
00:47:33
Speaker
It's not about forcing it. It's about creating those conditions where it can emerge naturally. This is what I mean in my coaching by creating your living ecosystem.
00:47:44
Speaker
In the plant world, this is obvious, right? you You don't expect a delicate little woodland flower, for example, to bloom in the middle of a paved parking lot, right? No, that flower needs you to clear space,
00:47:57
Speaker
to nourish soil, to create conditions of light that are very similar to that woodland environment. And all of this, you have to protect that little plant from being trampled before it's ready.
00:48:10
Speaker
So you have to understand your own true essence. Are you more like a delicate woodland flower Do you need lots of shade, lots of lights of water, lots of different aspects? Or are you more like somebody who's already experienced and let your wildness sort of start to take hold? And so who cares if there's just a parking lot? I'm going there's a crack right there. That's why I'm going grow.
00:48:30
Speaker
So you have to think about making the space that is necessary for you physically mentally and emotionally. I told you I'm going away for two days because I realized that over the last few, like last month, I've been really going through a massive transformation and I've been trying to do it while I've, while I'm going through other things that are happening, right? I have been taking space, but I have been also been very busy and I've been trying to enjoy the summer and all these pieces. And now I realized that I need to make more space inside of myself in order for this new level of wildness to really emerge for the parts that I've been containing or hiding or silencing to take place. And this is what you need to do.
00:49:12
Speaker
One of the most practical steps that you can take is to notice where you already feel that there you are. you where you already feel really safe enough to be fully of yourself.
00:49:24
Speaker
Where are the places where that part of you is already starting to emerge in a safe environment? It might be with certain people. It might be with certain types of places or during certain types of activities.
00:49:36
Speaker
These are your fertile patches of ground. This is where you know that you can start to expand on your own wild expression And test the waters, see how it lands, even tell people that you're doing this, if that's what you are, what what you need. And to find that safe space is extremely important. It could be with someone like me as a coach or inside of the naturally conscious community, it could be a work environment where you tell people, I once did that many years ago, where I told my office, hey, I'm working on this part of myself, I just want you to know, If you see me slipping into this behavior, please feel free to have a conversation with me. I wanted my true essence to really come out, even if it was a bit of career suicide. But that's another conversation for another day.
00:50:19
Speaker
And the next step is for you to keep building more of these safe patches until you feel safe no matter where you are. Even if you say the silliest thing, even if you make a huge oops or mistake, but even if you express something in completely the wrong way, It doesn't matter because you're comfortable enough with who you are that everything becomes a safe space.
00:50:37
Speaker
So at the beginning, you might not be there. So this might mean setting up new, for example, membranes that I keep calling them. I know most people call these boundaries, but like we talked about in episode 74, if you remember, we talked about healthy boundaries. How is it that a plant would keep them? And they would keep them by doing something that is a living membrane that evolves alongside of you. So go back to that episode, if you don't remember and go listen to it, because I think it's a really important aspect as you're growing out your wildness for you to really connect to, to the idea of don't create boundaries, but create these moving membranes that you can then choose to consciously open and close as you explain, as you express yourself and as you explore more parts of yourself, because safe spaces really mean, um,
00:51:25
Speaker
They can mean anything, to be honest. It can mean rearranging your schedule so that you have more quiet time to reflection. It can mean making space in your home so that you feel inspired and grounded. it could be in a community preparing, you know, having ah ah ah an environment where you have a group meeting or a group type of activity that you feel safe in. it could just mean cultivating different types of relationships where differences are valued and not feared.
00:51:53
Speaker
There has to be room for disagreement and there has to be places of support that are not controlling. There has to be places where you yourself also replace judgment with curiosity, where you allow yourself to even express yourself and see the reaction of people, which might not be the reaction you wanted, but you don't approach that as if something is wrong, but you approach it with curiosity.
00:52:17
Speaker
And one of the most powerful tools that we explored, for example, in that June plant inspired masterclass that I was telling you about discussion was inviting a plant ally to model keys, wild intelligence for you to literally talking with the plant and asking the plant to help you understand what does wild intelligence look like for you and how do I apply that to myself?
00:52:40
Speaker
This is why every month now in the Reconnect with Plant Kin workshop series that I've been doing, which is the last Saturday of the month, we dive specifically into wild areas with a plant ally and we work on how to reconnect and reactivate that area.
00:52:55
Speaker
And process part really gives us in that safe space, the ability to like start to work directly because you might not have even had contact with this part of yourself and to start building out this wildness inside of you to reconnect to all these parts of this wild inside of you and to develop this intelligence.
00:53:18
Speaker
And these programs, for example, are all found inside of blooming sprouts inside of the naturally conscious community. Again, don't worry, the details and the links are all in the description, but inside of the naturally conscious community, blooming sprouts, that's where you want to go.
00:53:31
Speaker
Even today, to be honest, you can start really simple. Choose a plant, wild or cultivated, that catches your attention, that kind of says, hey, me, me, I want to work with you. And just spend time observing how key interacts with the world.
00:53:45
Speaker
Just do that. Notice how Key responds to change, to challenges, to opportunities, and then ask Key after you've observed for a while. You can do it silently, you can do it out loud, you can draw, you can do whatever feels right, and you say, how could you guide me to being more wild?
00:54:03
Speaker
How can I move and grow and act wildly in this moment in my life? And see what comes to you. Give yourself space. Draw, like I said, journal, dance. I had a beautiful, the other day we had our budding artistry, which is where we use anything other than just um writing in our um in our and our weekly sessions. So normally we do wild wild mind writing and once a month we do budding artistry.
00:54:29
Speaker
And I loved it because one of the people that came, she decided she was just going to move and dance to the prompts that we were giving in the exploration we were having. And it was wonderful to hear her describe, you know, like I went into child's pose and I could feel this. And because sometimes it doesn't come through the intellect of writing or even sometimes drawing, your body gets the answer first.
00:54:51
Speaker
And this is about writing. This is how you listen to the plant. This isn't imagining what the plant would say. This is about listening and it's about trusting those subtle impressions, the shifts in your body, the images, the words that arise and come.
00:55:07
Speaker
This is how the plant, the plant, which is probably a plant ally, a plant partner, a plant friend becomes a mirror. in which you see yourself reflecting back so that you see your wild intelligence that you already carry within you being expressed by this plant and you can then see it reflected back to you. So when you practice this type of work regularly, something inside of you truly shifts.
00:55:33
Speaker
You start to recognize the differences between impulses that are coming from fear and those that are coming from desire, from vitality, from desire of expansion and growth, you start to see the opportunities that are exp expanded. You start to trust that voice that is between, again, your emotions and your intellect, that wild intelligence that calls and feels out to your entire body.
00:56:02
Speaker
Notice how I'm gesturing so much because that's how I get in touch with that part of me. You start to see this in all areas and you start to bring up characteristics and personality traits and abilities and talents.
00:56:15
Speaker
that you had suppressed down because you didn't know how to deal with this. And for me, this has been a complete game changer in my own evolution. Before I make a big decision, i often check in with one of my plant allies and i ah kind of ask to mirror this part of me.
00:56:33
Speaker
I might go to Noel, the Christmas cactus for patience and discernment, or maybe Jaina, the aloe for courage or to take a first step because Jaina's very courageous on things.
00:56:46
Speaker
Noelle's a little bit more.
00:56:49
Speaker
don't want to say conservative because that's actually not true, but patience, I would say. Patience. And these conversations remind me that my wildness isn't reckless.
00:57:01
Speaker
My wildness and your wildness is rooted, it's responsive, and it's meant to serve the ecosystem that we're all parts of. Preparing the ground for rewilding is is something that you're constantly doing. It's an ongoing relationship with yourself, with your community, with the living world.

Every
Impact of Embracing Wildness
00:57:22
Speaker
season brings a new condition and with that new ways for you to express your wild intelligence. So as you move through your next growth growth phase, I'd love for you to ask yourself, where can I clear space?
00:57:37
Speaker
Where can I enrich the soil? Which plant ally wants to walk with me in this phase of my wild growth? Because I've had many different teachers and partners that i have worked with for different aspects of myself for me to see these mirrors.
00:57:54
Speaker
Because when you give wildness inside of you a home, it doesn't just change you. It changes the whole ecosystem that you belong to.
00:58:08
Speaker
I know we've talked about a lot of things in this episode as we sort of wrap everything up. You know, we began as wildness being adaptability, the way plants respond to change without losing who they are.
00:58:19
Speaker
And we remembered, because I think it's important for us to remember that in nature, I'm going to constantly remind you of this, nothing is wasted. Nothing. Everything is used by something. All parts of the NICO system are alive and have a function somewhere to someone.
00:58:35
Speaker
And so it was important for us to remember this about ourselves, especially as we explore from containment into flow, into growing into spaces without any kind of apology.
00:58:47
Speaker
We honor these cycles, the cycles of our lives, the cycles of our times. When is it time to expand? When is it time to contract? When is it time to be active? When is it time to rest?
00:58:57
Speaker
How do we create the ground, a safe space for me to be rewild, for me to allow my truest essential nature to expand so that all of my traits can grow strong without being trampled?
00:59:15
Speaker
And so you might be asking me, where do I go next, right? And I'd love for you to join me in the next Reconnect with Plant Can workshop, right? It's the last Saturday of every month. The information is on my website and in the Naturally Conscious community. And if you can't make it, no problem. The replays are always available.
