Plants offer us tremendous healing gifts. When we dye fibers with plants, the fibers are infused with the healing spirit of those plants. When we wear these plant dyed fibers they serve as a reminder of our connection with the plants. In this way we are wearing our medicine, our sacred medicine, that which empowers us to heal. These fibers carry the vibration and healing energy of the plants, a connection which is with us all the time. I encourage you to make your connection with plants and hope you will find my art inspiring in this way. And I hope that it inspires you to wear your medicine in your own life!
Plant Spirit Fibers is located in Brookfield, Vermont at Twin Pond Healing Sanctuary
Plant Spirit Fibers was born out of a deep love for plants and color and realizing the healing power they contain. When we connect with the deep wisdom and healing power of the plant kingdom we come home to our lives and our bodies in a different way and begin to develop deeper and more dynamic relationship with the life force around us.

All of our fibers are naturally dyed using organic plants grown here on the land we tend. Each seed is lovingly planted. The plants are cultivated, harvested, and processed here at Twin Pond. In my experience working with plants for natural dye engages our body in an old way of doing things, a way rooted in traditional knowledge and wisdom. In this way our bodies can remember these old ways, ways in which we lived closer to the earth. Our bodies carry the wisdom of our ancestors and we hold this ancestral wisdom in our cellular memory.
The plants can lead us back to this knowledge. It is by engaging with the plants in these traditional ways, as a deeply embodied practice, that we can access this knowledge and find our way back to our roots, remember who we are, and find healing within ourselves which leads to healing our relationships. Our primary relationship, one which we all share, is with Mother Earth. This healing process begins to shift our focus toward life affirming values.
I have been enjoying the art of printing plants onto fiber. This process which I call Botanical Printing is also known as Eco-printing. This process involves laying plants onto the fiber, rolling it up, and steaming it. It is the pigment from the actual plants which is transferred to the fiber. This art form has brought me endless inspiration as the designs and color possibilities are endless. There is great satisfaction for me in seeing a plant image transferred to the fiber, revealing it’s essence in the printed image. Each piece is inspired by nature and captures a season in time. I believe these plant dyed fibers are infused with the spirit of the plants, they carry the vibration of the plants and are a reminder of our healing connection with plants, a beautiful way to wear your plant medicine.
