This is a “project” of knowledge sharing rooted in ancestral ways of learning from one another through conversations and direct experience. You can participate in this school in different ways:
Join the ROOTED Allyship course.
Book a group visit at my studio, the medicinal plant garden & tea library at Institut for (X) for an experience tailored to your needs.
Become a member of the plant library to borrow books, zines, and other publications about / with plants & trees.
Book a Tea Mandala session with me individually or as a group.
Book a 1:1 session to get sparring on a plant related theme, e.g. plant ally suggestions for celebrations and rituals; how to start your own herbal tea apothecary; where to forage plants around Aarhus etc.

Art in Collaboration with Plants
In the past years, all my artistic practice happens in close collaboration with plants and trees. I work mostly in the field of interdisciplinary performing arts, with sound installations and occasional visual art projects.
A selection of artistic projects from the last years is here.
You get your copy of ROOTED spells here.
research with plants
I explore ways in which plants and humans can and already do collaborate to create worlds more livable to all and break the curse of separation cast by the colonial and extractivist logic of modernity. My research practice consists of working with plants through gardening and herbalism, learning and exchanging knowledge with plants through somatic and artistic practices, singing with plants, exchanging with other plant-people, studying the work of scholars within the “plant turn”, and developing artistic methods for entering into deeper relationships with plants. Findings and reflections from these investigations I weave into performances, workshops and my daily life as a field of practice. here you can see snippets of different research processes presented in a non-hierarchical, non-structured way. Since 2023 I am also part of a Cedar Listening Circle stewarded by Natasha Myers and Eva Peskin.
I am especially curious about perspectives and knowledges on plant-human relationships stemming from the Baltic Sea region, if you are a plant practitioner from this region, please reach out, I want to meet you.
plant whispering
the research method I am currently most curious about and invested in is something I and other practitioners call “plant whispering” - an intuitive process of the human body becoming a vessel through which the communications of plants can translate into songs and sounds.
unearthing plant wisdom through song is an act of surrendering to the intuitive, allowing the self to become a medium through which the unspoken, unheard voices of plants find expression. The melodies and songs that emerge in these moments of connection are not premeditated or composed. They are spontaneous, intuitive expressions, born from a place of deep listening and respect for the plant beings sharing their wisdom. It is a form of communication that transcends words and worlds, reaching into the depths of our being, resonating with our own innate connection to the rest of the living world and the ancient, rooted wisdom that quietly permeates our world.
if you are a fellow plant whisperer, please reach out, I would love to learn and practice together.
