After retiring from a 10-year adventure as Director of Natural Beauty at the world renowned Herbfarm Restaurant & Willows Lodge in Woodinville, WA, where she designed and implemented sound generative garden systems in high end landscapes and completed a course in Therapeutic and Healing Gardens through the University of Washington. EagleSong returned home to cultivate heart and soul in the wise woman tradition at RavenCroft Garden and as director of her new endeavor, Pacific Wise Women. A daily practice of natural health, simple living and herbal medicine grounds her herbal apprenticeships for those interested in the rigorous journey of being human. Weekend summer camps in slow gardens, slow medicine and slow food are offered for those interested in garnering experiential learning through natural living at RavenCroft. Pacific Wise Women events include an annual Spring Herbal Infusion and the fall Pacific Women’s Herbal Conference.
Currently, EagleSong finds great satisfaction practicing and sharing mischief making in the hedge for those eager to cultivate an ever deepening understanding of this journey we call life.

- How light, moisture and earth bring plants to life...
- Who/what lives just beyond perception, what Linnaeus called “Chaos”
- because he couldn’t name what he couldn’t see...
- How learning a language of the land informs health and wholeness where
- ever you are...
- Dress for the weather, wear play clothes, gettin’ dirty is highly likely!
