Weaving Bridges
Nature Fellowship
Nature Fellowship
Plant medicine ceremonies in Portland, Oregon guided by licensed psilocybin facilitators
Woven by a covenant of reciprocity, we walk gently, in reverence for the soil that sings beneath us, for the waters that remember, for the winds that carry ancestral whispers.
We are Nature, flesh of her flesh, spirit of her spirit. Nature speaks, in leaf and lightning, in shadow and bloom.
Through stillness and listening, we commune with her spirit, and she, in turn, offers us guidance as kin meeting kin.
We invite humankind to draw from her deep, divine well — to gather not in dominion, in ceremony, to honor the sacred balance, and to restore the dance of giving and receiving.
From this union of Earth and soul, may healing rise like mist from the forest floor, may balance return like the turning tide, and may our spirits grow in reverence, sovereignty, and the eternal embrace of kinship.
Weaving Bridges Nature Fellowship draws upon the intelligence of Mother Earth, prayer, ritual, and South American Indigenous teachings to assist us humans to:
Find our purpose in connection with all beings on our small planet
Weave a bridge from our heart to our minds, and with other humans and nature
We acknowledge that we are Nature. We believe that Nature is Spirit and that through a deeper, more conscious connection with Nature, we can commune directly with Nature's spirit and receive guidance.
Therefore, we invite humans to draw on nature as a divine source of wisdom, to commune with one another and with Mother Earth, generating reciprocity in healing, balance, and spiritual growth.
In our hearts, our relatives extend to all things sentient and not, across all aspects of the natural and cosmic realms, reverberating through time and space into the non-ordinary realities of everything that is inextricably interconnected.
We value reciprocity. One of our responsibilities is to find ways to enter into reciprocity with the more-than-human world.

She is committed to constructing "Great Remembering" with others and bringing back connection, equity, and reciprocity with all beings.
Pilar is a tenured professor and author, a licensed family therapist and a licensed clinical professional counselor, a clinical member and approved supervisor of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and an approved clinical supervisor in Oregon.

I lay my sorrow at the roots, and the Earth does not turn away. She cradles my grief as one of her own. For every loss, a leaf falls. For every tear, a river knows. Still, I give thanks with open hands, for breath, for birdsong, for being part of all that lives and dies and lives again.
We are threads in the great weaving, intertwined in sacred kinship — not above, not apart, but of the wild breath of Earth.
