Oh wow. K’gari. Breath taking. And what a divine healing paradise she is.
Thankyou for having us on your beautiful island. We acknowledge and pay respect to the Butchulla mob, the traditional owners & original custodians of the land.
We came with openness & received so many of your Ancestral blessings throughout the stay. The whales breaching at sunrise, eagles flying with us wherever we travelled on the island & Dingos walking by our sides with pride showing us 'their Island' as we surrendered to the power & beauty of the feminine energy that was there. Some of the trees there are over 700,000 years old which indicates how special she is. There were many special places we stepped foot on the Island which I dont feel to speak into as its best to keep safe, but if you feel the call I suggest to contact Drop Bear so you can have your own beautiful adventure there & personal / group experience.
I am beyond speechless for the majik, the information & connection to the ancestral realms that we experienced in this rite of passage. We all walked humbly with respect & integrity upon your land & waters. Cleaning you up wherever we went & honouring the lore of the Island as shared with us:
It was a true gift witnessing & experiencing the ancient codes that your land had instore for us through many signs & symbols along the path. Thank you K'gari for this deep remembrance & connection that we will all take back into our lives, as we travel forth integrated with your energy into our beings reminding us of who we are and what we are here to do.
This journey has inspired me to connect deeper with the elements all around me, to sit & listen more to the music & melodys in nature, and to continue to walk with integrity, honor & respect wherever my path takes me. It was so lovely to explore such a sacred untouched paradise, to bathe in your healing waters & I will hold that feeling of us all witnessing the old Ancient trees in utter silence & dismay, followed by moments later the cascades of laughter rolling from each vehicle as we passed by the ‘Squibblygums’ & bounced high as each dune threw us up & down, back & forth belching & groaning with all sorts of wild sounds coming out of us.
I take a moment to thank the following custodians for this trip - I pay acknowledgements to Jayden from Drop bear adventures for your honourable & respectful tour of the island, reminding us of the Island lore. For all that you shared with us I am eternally grateful. Thanking for trusting us brother & feeling the purity & respect of which we came there with. Deepest gratitude to Against the grain health / Brad Mcdonald for having this vision & bringing us all together so that we could receive this incredible life changing experience. And for the behind the scenes crew who helped organise, prepare food & hold space you absolute legends. Love your work Brad, your navigation was on point & thanks for shattering any illusions or expectations that popped up along the way. Always bringing in a clear direct masculine that I could all trust & felt safe with.
And to the group that showed up & were called on the Island journey, dear soul family thankyou for your unique gifts & offerings you brought to the table, I resonated with you all on many levels in many different ways. I felt super comfortable to share parts of myself that many others have not had the opportunity to witness. I felt safe to express & share my gifts with you all & to really drop in to the depth of what was channeling through me. I love you so much brothers & sisters. I know that we have friendships for eternity.
Thank You dearly K’gari for your medicine. You are a powerful healing site & I will always remember your gifts in my heart. See you soon again one day, divine healing water place.
For information on beach clean-ups & ways in which you can give back to the Island, please contact Drop bear adventures. The Island is alive with many messages & gifts for you on your journey, if you listen deeply (dadirri) you will receive her blessings.

]]>There are enough calls to be realistic in this consensus reality, which seeks to create uniformity of perspectives in a multiverse existence. We are the sacred rebels, those who resist labels and boxes, for life cannot live in a vacuum and nature deserves room to breathe, without masks or censorship.
It is in these liminal spaces that we create ripples of change that flux and fluctuate along timelines that may not be presently tangible, but are there as seeds sown ready to sprout when they are ready. We see events in the world where change is being called and cried for.
We see a lack of innerstanding of human motivations and a manipulation of human goodwill along boundaries of persuasion and coercion. It is a focus for us to be part of creating a new paradigm where things like categorisations and labels couldnt be dreamed of as being capable of defining beingness.
We see the potential of how we can be and the idea of unity as a lived reality is what we wanna see. So we open ourselves to friends rather than foes, and promote knowledge rather than ignorance. We challenge all those we encounter to step into living and loving as they wish to see, rather than just talking about those things. We vision the rainbow dreaming.
All colours coming together, with respect of each our cultures as one unit. Different pieces of the same puzzle. Walking alongside our brothers and sisters as we embrace the new way now.
Our ancestors, all over Earth, have forever known all life is sentient. Its innate. We are one blood, one living breathing ecosystem. We live as one unity. To live a life in such a way is to walk in a sacred manner, carefully and gracefully within the great web of existence.
We are all linked and our destines are matched. We learn the lessons of life with grace and with ease. Opening ourselves to our animal, mineral, and plant allies allows us more life in our sphere, and more love in our hearts.
Unity consciousness is a potential within us all, if we live from the heart. We must be courageous and we must be brave. We must be willing to step outside of our comfort zone and categories in order to walk our own way, according to our own compass.
When we realise the intelligence that lies all around us, we allow ourselves to access this intelligence to enhance our lives. For us, working with the plants, we gain access to their teachings, and they to ours.
Working in symbiosis, we innerstand solidarity and unity. It is but a re-spect away.

Pareidolia. The sight of meaningful images and symbols within nature. The shapes of ancestors in the mountains. The seeing of a face in the clouds.
This point of evolution is where we track our starting point, as Spagyric medicine makers. To take a different, holistic path of evolving our understanding of how consciousness relates to matter.
Spagyrics are a whole plant medicine. The plant is viewed as being made up of three holistic faculties. These are allegorically referred to as the “soul”, “spirit” and “body” of the plant. These three “philosophical principles” are extracted, separated, purified completely (through separate processes individual to the principle) to their highest concentration and then recombined to create an extraordinarily bioavailable, high resonance medicine.
These spagyrics are absorbed sublingually and almost all of what you put in goes through to the cell. It stays in the body much longer than a standard herbal extract and because it has been extracted in this way it has both the properties of a homeopathic AND a whole plant extract.
Soul = Essential Oil / oil soluble constituents
Spirit = Alcohol / water soluble constituents
Body = Salt / Minerals or non soluble constituents
This allegory is a reflection of how these compounds interact with the being. The soul of the imbiber is interacted with by the essential oils, the aromatic compounds in the plant. The Spirit (mind/consciousness) by the alcohol and water soluble constituents. Finally, the Minerals interact with the physical body on a cellular level, allowing the others to fully connect with the body intracellularly in a unique way via sodium / potassium cell switching.
This is botanical Alchemy. Not as a metaphor, but as a real, tangible path of making plant medicines according to hermetic (alchemical) esoteric philosophy.

Connecting to country has always been about knowing ourselves as of the earth and the earth as part of ourselves. We are in and of the earth, part and parcel of its essence and evolution. In knowing ourselves as creators and alchemists who have the ability to transform states with our will. We live the lore and recreate the lore with each breath and interaction. It is only a matter of what we choose to engage with and where we choose to put our intent. Each different part of earth holds its own keys and wisdoms and it is our wish to consciously re-member the spirit of the plant medicines as family in the consciousness of the people. By engaging directly and wholesomely with the native plants, we more fully get to grips with what the essence of this land is and the wisdoms it holds. We get to receive the healing and integration of this special land by choosing to directly engage with more sides of it, and as such to actively know more of it.
We have a conscious choice in our evolution as humans as to whether we open and expand or close in and contract in our perspectives. The medicine of the plant kingdom is varied and numerous, but always topical and local in its intelligence. When we tap in, the right plants for us appear when we need them. They have always been there, waiting for us to remember them and unite with them and to use them. Australian natives in this sacred land hold so many keys for us to know the land, and ourselves, deeper and deeper. If we come with honour and respect, there is limitless wisdom that can be received from the plant medicines and those that are the keepers of this sacred knowledge.
In nature, and ourselves, we trust.
