“We were wild once. We were uncaged. We told stories, wrote poetry, created art, & birthed natural medicines. But we have forgotten…” ~ Gaia Rose
Welcome my darling!
My name is Gaia Rose ~ a wild medicine woman of the Land, an author, an artist, a poet, a songbird, a mama, a wife, & an outspoken sovereign soul with a wanderlust spirit, an intuitive heart, & a rebellious nature, who has a natural passion & reverence for deepening our relationship with plants, remembering our ancestral roots, & returning to the healing seasons & cycles of our great Mother Earth.
Although I was born & raised in England, a big part of my maternal blood line & Native indigenous ‘roots’ lay in Malaysia, growing up surrounding by Asian cuisine, Asian art, the use of chopsticks & a Grandmother ‘Nanak’ who gave me my first teachings with growing/working with garden herbs for medicine, food, & spirit. Many-a-days I would happily wander through her little medicine garden, coconut bowl in hand, collecting all the fragrant healing herbs & wildflowers to mix into perfumes & magic potions, not fully understanding back then the ‘medicine’ I was creating, nor how the Earth was guiding me, only in later years did I see how she had always been holding me, lovingly waiting for me to return.
Throughout my journey, i’ve experienced many traumas & walked down many paths, using my own pain to teach other women how to awaken the great wisdom of the heart, embrace their voice, & return to the wild within ~ whether it be through my public talks, my songs, or my books ~ & although i’ve qualified in many different healing fields, it is only through the deep wisdom, truth, & healing medicine of the plants, mama earth, & our more than human relatives, that my greatest lessons have been learnt.
She has been my teacher, my mother, my freedom.
Over the years, as i’ve continued to grow ~ returning more deeply to the Land & the natural free medicine/remembrance she brings ~ she’s gifted me a deeper healing, meaning, & belonging than i’ve ever experienced, whilst feeling a greater pull to return to the medicine of my music, & honour my native Malay ancestors, their own indigenous traditions, & a more natural way with the plant medicines of the Earth, so I can pass this down to my children & children’s children some day. This also enables me to authentically allow my native essence/energy to flow more abundantly into my own medicines, my words, my songs, & my life, whilst gifting my soul the deepest of peace…
…a true feeling of home.
You see, for years I was searching for that meaning, that healing, that belonging, & that feeling of ‘being seen’ ~ as many of us do ~ not stopping to realise that the answers were already weaved beneath my skin. Every time I had my hands rooted in the soil, tended to my medicine garden, sipped a calming herbal tea, walked barefoot upon the ground, harvested the wildflowers, or gave a silent prayer to the land, I was being reminding that we are part of nature & she is part of us, & as the beautiful resilience & surviving spirit of nature rises through every outer & inner season, so do we.
So, my darling one, return to the land, to the plants, & to the medicine of nature, for she is where we find our truth, our healing, & our reclaim back to our wild.
In deep reverence & peace,
Gaia x
Remembering…
We were wild once.
We were uncaged.
We told stories, wrote poetry, created art, and birthed natural medicines.
We were born with our hands rooted in the soil, our honour & praise given to the great Mother, & our health & healing birthed in kinship with the Land.
We took our teachings from the elements of wind, fire, water, & earth, listening to their ever flowing wisdom, working together with her plants, her trees, her berries, her fruit, & her fungi, all which grows freely upon her ever evolving body.
But we have forgotten…
