Devotee of Wildness, Wildcrafter of Botanical Wonders,
Herbal Matchmaker & Shamana Flora
Darcey Blue is an
herbalist & nutritionist, wildcrafter, gardener, herbal medicine crafter, singer, banjo picker, shamanic practitioner, Earth lover and wild
woman. She was trained as a Clinical
Herbalist & Nutritionist at the North American Institute of Medical
Herbalism under Paul Bergner, and additionally studied with Rosemary Gladstar and Charlie
Kane. She was trained as a Shamanic Practitioner at the Institute for Shamanic Arts. Darcey has been using and learning
from the plants, both wild and cultivated since childhood, and it is her deep
love of the wild Earth and its creatures that fuels her passion for healing and
teaching about plants, wilderness, spirit, nourishment and healing.
She was called to the shamanic path by an old Juniper tree
in 2003 and has been talking with plants ever since. She has led workshops and circles in shamanic
journey work with plant medicine and plant spirits since 2008, and has worked
with private clients using botanical medicine since 2004.
Her own healing and wholing in life has been catalyzed and
manifested by her ever deepening relationship with the wildness in the world,
and the wildness within herself- through the plants, the land spirits, and solitary
time in wild natural places- sitting with plants, wildcrafting plants, and
journeying with spirit and self awareness.
Darcey Blue also works privately with clients who are eager
to learn from the plants a healing way as old as time itself, and who are ready
to take responsibility for and transform their relationship to self, spirit,
nature, health, and body, including Herbal Wellness Consultations, Sacred Earth Plant Medicine Apprenticeship, Plant Spirit
Sessions, Personal and Group Healing Nature Retreats.
She teaches regularly at the The Harmony Hut and Institute for the Shamanic Arts in Tucson , AZ ,
and the Medicine of the People: Folk Herbal Resurgence in Coconino ,
Arizona .
