Kin of the Fiàin Danú was birthed from a desire to cultivate wild relationships to the natural world. 

​

A way to dream our way back to the wild great mother, other than human kin and a becoming back to self.

​

​Our ethos arises from the old ways, animism, ritualism, totemism, ancestral flame keeping, nature spirituality and earth honouring traditions, rewinding, earth centred living in alignment with the seasons and cycles, rites of passage and initiation.

 

Creating sacred in the everyday. 

​

What if we were to unearth the unbroken thread of our own heart beat and once again align to the beat of the great mother and the grandmothers of earth that sang the songs into the earth herself, our animist ancestors who's heartbeats connected to the land, that sits in our own primordial self, bones and blood.

 

Who are your Kin?

Who or what dreamed you into being?

​

Renée is a plant wisdom mystic, animist herbalist, ritualist & ceremonialist, green witch, forest tender, medicine woman, shamanic practitioner, teacher, mentor and writer.

 

Her work as an earth doula, bio-regionalist and wild crafter is deeply supported by the forest she lives in and tends too, providing her with an abundance of local plants to alchemise into botanical medicines that are part of her Apothecary she calls Wild Kin.

​

Her background as a plant-based chef with a specialty in spiritual nutrition and food as medicine, speech and drama teacher, traditionally trained yoga teacher, therapist of shiatsu, oriental and advanced remedial therapies with a focus on embodiment work, and also a nationally recognised qualification in training and assessment, have created strong foundations and support for her current work in ceremonial space holding, and as an educator and mentor in the earth wisdom space. 

​

Renée sees herself as a continual apprentice of the earth wisdoms, Druidism, specifically the path of ovate and hedge druidry, and all botanical ancestors in the container of the old ways, animism and folk herbalism. She is an ardent student of the most learned teachers of herb craft, the plants themselves. 

Her journey of study & continual learning is in deep reverence, rites of passage & initiation that has spanned upwards of 30 years. 

​

She offers ceremonial and ritualistic work with seasonal plant kin and their otherworldly botanical consciousness aligned to the old ways, bioregionally in deep reverence and totality.

She offers apprenticeships in the Plant & Earth Wisdom Pathway, she calls an "Earth Doula-ship™" as well as the Shamanic Pathway and Ceremonial Crafting.

She offer Botanical Consciousness Counsel, as well as in person and on-line courses, and also 1:1 Shamanic + Plant Spirit Healing Sessions. 

 

Renée's quest is to be a conduit between the otherworldly realm of the elemental, earth, plant kin and our human tribe.

 To help folk reweave back to their unique original human blueprint and rediscover their unique personal medicine. 

Connecting us to our roots within nature, our elemental & botanical allies, the remembrance to ancestral lineages that has reverence and solid connection to the land & song lines beneath our feet.

​

In gratitude to my ancestors that traverse my bloodline, and the land I was born and now reside.

 

Children of Danú, the primordial elemental mother goddess of my Celtic heritage on both my matriarchal and patriarchal lineages. 

 The land of Éire, Alba and also Ancestral lands of the Norse and Viking.

The Tuatha Dé Danann, the Sídhe, aos sí, the goddess of healing and herbs Airmid and Nordic goddess and Valkayre Eir, the Oak and Hawthorn. 

​

The land of my first breath, Queenstown, Tāhuna, Whakatipu Waimāori, Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Papatūānuku, Mother Earth in the tongue of Te Reo Māori of my motherland. 

​

The land that now holds me, Waddawurrung and Djaara county, the traditional owners and their ancestors past, present and emerging. 

Djandak, the landscape in which the tangible is interwoven with the dreaming stories, in the tongue of the Djaara people.
