This isn't a plant guide. This is a remembering.

Walking Through the Seasons is a journey of reclaiming ourselves. Through seasonal ceremony, original stories, and teachings carried by the land, this book invites readers into the deep work of healing across all four quadrants: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.

Spring offers trust and renewal. Permission to begin again.

Summer teaches discernment in abundance. Where we place our attention matters.

Fall asks us to take inventory and release what no longer serves. Self-actualization as understanding old patterns and letting them go.

Winter holds us in transformation, preparing us to emerge whole.

This book is for those whose gifts have been called disorders when they were always medicine. For those reconnecting after generations of separation. For parents raising children with their languages intact. For anyone facing grief, illness, or the slow work of calling themselves back home.

The heart and spirit already know where we're going. This book helps the rest of us catch up.

For those who cannot. For those just remembering. For those yet to come.

What's Inside

Seasonal Transformation Teachings Four seasons as teachers. Spring trust, Summer discernment, Fall permission, Winter transformation. The framework for reclaiming wholeness.

64+ Plant Teachings Traditional knowledge of plants from ʔamak̓is Ktunaxa Territory and Salish homelands. Each profile honors the plant as teacher, not resource. Harvest protocols, traditional uses, and the relationships that sustained our people for 10,000 years.

Three Original Stories Ka Papa (Whitebark Pine), Red Flower Girl (Bitterroot), Kaʾs kiʾin numa (Thunder and Old Woman). Teaching stories that carry ancestral knowledge forward.

The Four Quadrants Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual. How to assess wholeness, recognize where healing is needed, and move toward balance.

Permission Work When was the last time you gave yourself permission? To feel, to rest, to release diminishing thoughts, to say no. This book teaches permission as medicine.

Full-Color Photography Visual journey through the territory. Mountains, rivers, and medicines that still speak.

Cultural Transmission This is not extraction. This is knowledge moving through relationship, ceremony, and lived experience. The way it was always meant to travel.

From the Authors

"To name a plant is to begin a conversation that can last a lifetime. Before we speak of identification, we must speak of relationship. Our ancestors understood that learning to recognize plants was not merely acquiring information, it was developing the capacity to receive communication from the living world."

"Your sensitivity isn't too much. It's the same awareness that helped our ancestors tend these relationships with the land and living world for thousands of years."

"For those who cannot make their own medicine. For those just remembering what their grandmothers knew. For those yet to come who deserve to inherit knowledge that wasn't completely lost."

The plants are still speaking.

They've been waiting for us to remember how to listen.

Before the humans spoke, the earth spoke first, and I will tell you the story the way my grandfather told me, through the language of the plants, through the magic of our ancestors and for the love of our people.

“High in the mountains where our nupika and ancestors still speak to us, live plants, insects, and animals that are rarely seen. These plants, insects and animals have their own stories and speak their own language (ʔa·kⱡukaqwum). This is the story of the plants gift”.

The old chief sang with the wind and strolled along the mountain tops – he gave thanks for the breeze and for the warmth of the morning sun. He offered a song and a prayer to the ancestors before he rested a top a stone. With his weathered hands he felt the stone, his fingers traced each line and crack that told its story – the old chief knew the mountains came to rest here long before his time and they would continue to rest here long after he was gone. In his moment of quiet the chief had a vision and a calm enveloped him. Through this calm the ancestors and nupikanin̓tik invited him to their fires. ~ Excerpt from “Walking Through The Seasons”.
