Eliza is a weaver of story and medicine. As a journalist, she tells the stories of people and place with an environmental & social justice focus in her work. As an herbalist, she spends time in the bountiful forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains, pondering the medicine of soultending and reverentially wildcrafting the medicine of these mountains. She also occasionally spends time with youth in nature connection and freeplay as a co-teacher with the Asheville Growing Wild Forest School, an all-outdoors preschool.
Eliza helps to carry the hearth of EarthSong Rising, a community song gathering near Asheville September. 5th-8th. EarthSong Rising is an annual four-day celebration of song, nature and community. Participants settle into natural village rhythms by singing, dancing, swimming, laughing with children, and eating delicious, healthy meals. This event is a place for multi-generational singing, a rising of our collective voice, and an awakening of the spirit that lives in the heart of our species. Like the birds, people were made to sing beauty into the world, together.
Enjoy this special Living Well where Eliza shares about the amazing people and events happening this year at EarthSong Rising!
