    \n\t\t\t\t“The generosity and beneficence of nature extends beyond our limited realms. I so love that ritual place because I could never have dreamt the life I live now. The plants, when you step across that line and you say, \u201cI'm in service\u201d and show up, something shifts. It\u2019s this deep, deep connection.”\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
