I'm your host, Sara Artemisia and I'm excited to introduce our next guest to the show today. Kara Daniels is an interspecies communicator, channel for Nature spirits, land healer, and teacher. She is the founder of Deep Root Connections, a space where she collaborates with the spirits of the land. And where Earth, animals, Nature, and spirit are all intertwined, alive and communicating. So Kara, thank you so much for joining us today. So excited for our conversation.

Kara Daniels:

Yay. Well, thank you so much for having me. I am so excited to talk about plants and trees with you.

Sara Artemisia:

Yes, love it so good as always, and particularly, I love your deep connection with the trees. And so I would love to just start there. And for folks who may be curious, in particular, if you could share with us really what is tree communication?

Kara Daniels:

Sure, tree communication is quite literally communicating or tapping into the consciousness of the tree beings and I call them tree beings, the indwelling spirits of the trees, much like you know, you and I we have our physical body, and then our soul spirit within and so do the trees. And so tree communication is on many layers and levels, just recognizing them as beings and communicating and connecting in very similar ways that we do just as a human.

Sara Artemisia:

Yeah, so how do you communicate with trees personally?

Kara Daniels:

Yeah, well, so for me, I am very what many people recognize as clairaudience, if you will, where I can hear different voices, I can hear messages within my inner landscape, I always call them the subtle senses. So you have your clear hearing, your seeing your feeling. And so really, that's how I communicate with trees and all beings, it's just through those subtle senses. And because I'm so clairaudience, it's really kind of a two way dialogue I have with the tree beings, it's like, "hey, who", and we just kind of go back and forth. That's my primary way of communicating. But there's many other ways that they can show up also for me and for others, too.

Sara Artemisia:

And so for you the way that trees communicate, where do you hear them? Where do you perceive the, the language coming through? Is it in the heart? Is it in the mind? Or how do you perceive it coming in?

Kara Daniels:

Oh, that's such a great question. That's a really good one actually not think about it. The way that I perceive trees communicating with me is more within the mind. And it's an inner ear. So it's literally kind of right in the center of my brain. If we want to get really technical, that's where I feel and sends all of my messages from those of our other consciousness is right in the center of my mind. And so it's very easy for me to differentiate what is my thought and what is coming from another being because it's like that space doesn't get touched very often with information. So that is one way. But I do have a very deep heart to heart connection with the trees, it's actually how I open my space to them is by just kind of taking my heart energy and just opening it up to the point where it's just flooding everywhere. And I find that that is usually returned. The same kind of love energy is returned from the trees. So I do think it's both. But when it comes to actually receiving information, it is through the mind.

Sara Artemisia:

Amazing. Yeah. I love that you articulated that so clearly, because my next question was going to be about how you differentiate between your own experience and I get this question all the time for my students. I'm always interested to hear other people's perspectives on it. Like how do you, how do you know the difference between okay, it's your thoughts? Versus the tree and I, you just stated it so clearly it's where your awareness is focalized. And so when you realize that the communication is coming in directly in your mind, you know that it is from the trees, and that that is a different quality of awareness from your own thoughts.

Kara Daniels:

Absolutely. Absolutely. And I know as a student, you know, when I first started out, I was like, is that me? Am I making this up? It presented a little bit differently. So learning how to discern and really listen to where things were happening in my mind took some practice. Discernment is definitely something that I talk a lot about, too with my students, because a lot of times we're starting out, messages are very soft. And it's very easy to say, Oh, I just made that up. Or I couldn't quite grasp that, where where was that coming in? How did that come in? And so another thing that I always like to point out. So I know for sure that I am not making up the information is quite often, the trees will give me information that number one, I would never know, to begin with. Like I walk into a connection, usually not having any other preconceived knowledge or notions about who or what this being is. And so for me, to make up some really deep wisdom or higher guidance that can come through the trees, it's like I couldn't have even tried to make that up if I wanted to. And so that's kind of another tell, it's like they use words that I don't normally use. And that's another tell that I have to is like, I have to go Google that to see what that means. Because that's, I mean, I'm the first person to just say that it's like, I don't even know what that means I have to go Google. So kind of the language and texture that they have to will be another tell of how to discern if it's coming from them or not.

Sara Artemisia:

Yeah, I love that, it's so good. And the other thing too, that that just feels so key. And what you just shared is around how when you first approach a tree, that you open up the space by connecting through the heart energy. And to me that this essentially, is foundational, in so many, for so many reasons. But one of them being that it sets the stage for that bridge of communication to be open. And that is a really, really, really important first step. And I feel like that really touches on that experience that I have with Nature around how Nature is not just communicating in a flat linear way that we often do with the way that humans often communicate in language that is very much a whole self kind of experience. And that we may like you said, we may have different ways of perceiving like, claireaudience, for me, it's a lot of times because then through visual, your somatically or just knowingness, clairecognizance and that, though, there may be the gateway may be one may be more heightened in the gateway that that experience of presence is the most important part in the relationship with Nature. And also, because this is so connected to what we were just talking about before, starting here today, how do you see presence as playing into the experience of being in relationship with Nature?

Kara Daniels:

It's key, it is the key to basically opened that gateway to connection. And, and it's interesting, I'm so glad you brought this up. Because as we were talking before, I went to a more natural space just recently, and I was just kind of in my own world as I normally am when I'm out there and trying to connect in with the beings of the land is I bring myself within and I tried to be extremely quiet within my body and that totally. And that total presence, right, just being in the moment in the body. And I was observing all these other people that are trying to connect with Nature, and they brought their dogs and are riding their horses, and I'm like you are that you're not going to hear the trees communicating with you because you're distracted. And so I think taking that, that inclination to connect and be out in nature and just take it the next step farther words like can you be quiet? Can you go for a silent walk, where you don't speak, and you just notice and observe and feel. And I think that really truly is something that is hard to learn. But it is the key. It is the key to connection.

Sara Artemisia:

Yeah, totally. The plants have actually literally showed me a holographic key. And they have shown how it's through the heart, but it's like the key is through the heart. And so I love that you just shared your own experience with that. And I'm curious if there's anything else that you feel called to share about. Maybe for someone who has not directly connected with a tree in this way yet. Did any recommendations for someone to begin opening their connection with trees?

Kara Daniels:

Yes. Oh my goodness, go for it. Please do. The first thing that I would do. to say is really be able to tune into your heart. And I love that we're talking about that holographic key into the heart zone. Because I see this same thing, it's like a golden key unlocks your heart and your heart just kind of floods open. And so I would say if you want to go on a walk or connection with a tree in your yard, or just kind of whichever tree being called to you specifically, go up to it and fill your heart space with so much love and gratitude for this tree being and it was like, let it flood out and just share your appreciation to that individual or all trees. But if you're trying to connect with an individual tree, for example, that's a really good way to just honor them and say I am trying to communicate with you, I see you and just kind of that initial recognition is going to be huge. There's a lot of trees out there that have a lot of interactions with people, but the people don't really see them or recognize them or kind of take the time to intentionally send them love. So that's the first part. The second part is to really just be playful with it. Try not to have expectations of what you may or may not receive. Sometimes it takes time to build a relationship with a tree. But I would just say have fun with it and be kind feel into your body, you know that going back to that presence. Within you have to know what's going on within your body. Are you getting tingles when you're connecting in with a tree? Do you get a flood of emotion? Do you feel pressure or heat? Even your thoughts. Are you all of a sudden feeling a song come to mind? You know, these are always at the tree is gonna start subtly communicating with you. So what are my steps here, step one, open up that gateway in the heart. Step two, try not to hold expectations. And then step three, once you do have that initial connection, like hey, I want to talk to you or connected with you just be, just be and see what happens. Usually some kind of sensation will come to you. And you'll be like, Yes, that's it. But the next step, I guess to piggyback on that would just believe it. Know that the little tiny tingling you might have felt is from the tree. And even if you're just like I think I just made that up, you kind of just have to roll with it. Because number one, the tree is trying to communicate with you. And if you say I think I made that up, that immediately says I don't believe that that actually just happened. So that's kind of a shot at the tree that you're trying to communicate with, right. So you want to just go with it. And that comes back down to the playfulness. Have fun with it and write everything down. There's a lot of steps I just gave you, but write everything down. Because the more you write things down, you can kind of see how things progress over time. That's a lot of steps to take.

Sara Artemisia:

That's great, you know, for folks, and you can always go back and relisten to that little segment right there. Because those are some great steps, great steps. And I loved how you shared about the playfulness piece, the experimentation. That's so key. And I feel like one of the supportive frameworks in the can be to ask the question. If for example, a lot of self judgments coming in or self doubt maybe to ask the question of if I were hearing something right now or if I was feeling something right now what would that be? Because it takes it out of the yes or no but more into this more, more liminal space of experimentation and play that Nature loves, loves that realm. loves that realm, so much, so much. So, connected to that. Just thinking about how Nature, trees, plants are all so supportive in, in my experience, I know in your experience, too, because we've talked about this are really helping us connect back into who we really are at the core level. How do you see trees and tree communication really benefiting us as individuals and humanity right now?

Kara Daniels:

Oh, in so many ways, I think. I don't think humans can really move forward with ease and grace without connecting with the trees on all levels. And I say that, as somebody who has leaned into the trees for guidance, I started communicating with trees about three or four years ago now when I was really last stuck. I had no idea what I was doing with my life. And I started consulting this tree guide and he helped me find my true soul's calling. He gave me things to do. He gave me things to think about and he basically baby stepped me into the basically where I am now and I feel like I am at full capacity when like yes, I can show up as my true authentic self. So you can use them and lean into them for higher guidance for your own personal gain if you will. But not only that, I mean they're healers. They are human healers and land healers and that is something that I am diving more and more into, because I have found that I can actually feel like the trees, siphoning and clearing my aura for me when I forget to. And then they tell me constantly yeah, well, this is what we're doing within the land, we're basically pulling the energetic trauma out of the land, and we're transmuting it and we're sending it off to where it needs to go. So they're actively healing the land and us. But in addition to that, if we were to communicate with the trees, hypothetically speaking, right, if we were to communicate with the trees, to learn more about the ecosystems, I think that's an untapped space that we need to really dive into. As we move forward into this world of unknowns of chaos of pollution. These trees have the knowledge of what's going on as literally underfoot, they can tell us what the soil needs that can tell us how we can mitigate it. Or if the ecosystem is changing. what that could look like, if the trees are dying, and mass, how can we help them? What does that space mean? Do we need to help them? Or do we need to let them go? And so on an ecosystem level. I mean, think about what we could learn if we just asked the trees what's actually going on. And to pair with that disease and insects. They're basically running rampant right now. How can we ask the trees what they need to heal, that is something that a lot of people come to me, they say, I asked my treat, when it needed, ended, hold me. And I thought, oh, my gosh, that's amazing. So if we just asked, they might have holistic approaches or natural approaches for us to actually help them heal. And I mean, truly, I feel like it's a box with a very tight lid on it. And that lid needs to be broken open. And we just need to go there and communicate with these trees and see what knowledge they really truly have for us as we carry forward into a new existence.

Sara Artemisia:

Absolutely, oh, my goodness, so many, so many good things. And so many ideas sparked with that. So I love what you were just sharing about how trees actively heal the landscape. So there's three things going on, I'd love to dive in based on what you shared. But I want to start with one and then go into the other. So the healing with how the trees support healing the landscape, how they support healing us, how do you work with land healing, but the first thing actually, that I want to ask about is, when you're talking about how, of course they are very aware of what's happening under foot, literally, right? And so that brings to mind the mycelial network. I'm curious, particularly because you were just talking about how the trees help heal the landscape. And in my experience in working with the plant realm and with the mushroom realm in terms of how they heal, like how are they oriented towards healing, is that the mycelial realm to me feels very much like the transmuters, it's like in that digestion process, there's a lot of transmutation of energy. Whereas with the trees, I feel a lot of transmitting of light, in my own personal experience, in the way that you work with the healing energy of trees, I am curious. What have they communicated with you about the role of the mycelial network? And also have you worked with them at all and ask them about the difference between how they like how they support healing versus how the mycelial network supports healing?

Kara Daniels:

Oh, my gosh, I haven't really gotten there yet. But the first thing that's kind of just coming through is like they work obviously together. But what I just keep seeing is like the energy just getting shot from one place to the next. And it's almost like the network, not only I don't even know if this is gonna answer your question. This is just so what's coming through is that the network below is literally renegotiating the energetics below. It's like they take a chunk here of trauma or whatever it is that they're taking. And they send it off to a different location. It's almost like they're filling in the spaces and in the process of that, essentially, translocation of whatever it is that they're sending. It's getting transmuted through that network into something else, and it's filling in the gaps. But that's just kind of what I'm seeing is like the trees are working together to basically siphon the energy. The mycelium are working together to transmute it, and then they shoot it out into different locations to where it needs to go.

Sara Artemisia:

That's amazing. That makes sense to me. I mean, I think about even like bioremediation right how plants that work is bio accumulators on that physical level, it makes sense to me that on the energetic level, there would be a parallel process occurring there. So that's awesome. Thanks for sharing that. So cool, so many things that we could go into there. I would like to hear more though about your work in terms of how you work and collaborate with the trees, in land healing processes or maybe if you have either a story or an example or like a type of framework of how you go into a space that needs healing. And so, I'm also curious about the different types of healing and how you work in space in in land in communication with the trees because there are so many different types of trauma that are now embedded into the different layers of the Earth. And I will feel this through my feet very viscerally when I walk into certain places that maybe look really beautiful, but then I don't feel safe for whatever reason to like, put my energetic roots down into the Earth, which for me, that's the way that I feel most alive and vibrant and relaxed is when I am basically my own tree self when I'm moving throughout space. And when I feel an urge to pull my roots up, that indicates to me that there's something that's not safe in this space. And so often, when I am in spaces like that, or have even lived in spaces like that, and then later learn that, yes, there was some major trauma that occurred in that land right around that space, kind of a thing. So I'm curious about just how you experienced the different because there's pollution, there's a trauma of pollution of actual, you know, the chemical degradation and killing through the pollutants. But then there's also things like, for example, human traumas that have occurred, or battles or genocide or things like that, that have occurred in and on the land where we're walking around. And so do you work with just yeah, just tell us about how you work with with anything that you feel called to share? Honestly.

Kara Daniels:

Yeah, when it comes to land healing, there are so so many layers for kind of dive into. And the way that I approach it, for example, is usually by remote distance healing is kind of how I dive into the different realms of the energy layers. But it really is more of the trauma of past experiences. So like you said, the human traumas, the wars, everything leaves an imprint, all experiences, whether they're good or bad, they leave an imprint. And in certain areas, it's almost like blood soaked lambs, if you will, you know, they have that really awful imprint of emotion. And so this is just one example. That's really the domain or the layer that I work with is kind of just removing past traumas. If you're familiar with the Akashic Records, for example, it's like the record of our soul. From the very beginning, all of our thoughts, feelings lifetimes, the land itself has its own Akashic Records. And so I kind of just go into the layers that need my attention. I come from that perspective, you know, everybody has their gifts, somebody might be better at working in another space, but whatever comes to me is usually within the realm of physicality, that imprint of what people have done in the past. And so what I do with the trees is I basically asked them, so number one with the trees is they are always acting as witnesses, they are the guardians, they are the record keepers. So if there's anything specific that they need me to know, or address, the trees are always the first ones to be like, this is what happened here. And if they were not the direct witness, the memory is given through their ancestral line, just until somebody can handle whatever it is that needs to be addressed or healed. But the trees will show me that, sometimes they show me memory, sometimes they just kind of give me a to do list like this is what you got to do to get rid of whatever it is that's there. So they're my acting guides, they're the guardians of the landscape. That being said, sometimes they will actually pull that trauma into their bodies. And this is something that happens quite commonly as they will actually pull that energy into their bodies and hold it. Because they don't want it to go anywhere. If it's too nasty, that they can't transmit themselves, I'll just hold it. And sometimes they'll die. Intentionally, they won't make that intentional kind of conscious decision paying it die now and hold this within my body. But this is what you're gonna do with it. That way, you can transmute the energy for them. And so a lot of times it's burning them, and transmuting it on that level. And then everything should be clean and clear, but they can hold on to trauma. Otherwise, they will put some of that trauma within their branches. And they'll just be like, yeah, I cut that branch off, I'm holding on all the stuff that needs to go right there. And so really, on the energy field and the physical field, combining the two together, it's like we can actually move a lot of energy if we just talk to them, right? What else do they do? I mean, trees alone, they something that a lot of people don't know is that if you have trees on your property, you can ask them to help protect you from less than tined energy beings, if you will, or even just strangers in general, like some things I'm trying to tune into his space. And I actually can't get there because the trees blocked me out. They're like, nope, you're not welcome here. We don't have permission to let you in my human did not tell me that I could let you in. And so I have to call my client and just say, hey, tell your trees like I'm cool. And then they'll kind of let me in. So another way you can work with the trees, too you just for your own protection is just ask them to ask or like to be your guardians to set up that boundary of protection, and they will quite literally block people like me out. So there's so many different ways to work with the trees. As far as land healing goes, I know I'm talking a lot about all of that. But something that they want me to bring up is when trees do need to be taken down, or when you're a witness in that space, there are different things that you can do to honor them to kind of help transmute the energy of that impact, right. So when we're taking a tree down, if it's not being honored or done, kind of with respect, and appropriately, that trauma stays in the land. And so they just say, as a witness, or somebody kind of in the observational space, you have the power to consciously transmute that energy as a space holder. And so by witnessing and feeling, you can create like little flower grids or crystal grids or send a prayer or send a love like, these are tiny little things that we can do that will actually continue that, that healing and transmutation of energies that we don't want to go back into the land.

Sara Artemisia:

Well, I love that you just brought that up. Oh, my goodness. So in addition to creating flower grids, crystal grids, sending loving energy down, are there any other practical tips or anything that trees are communicating right now about ways to honor a tree if it needs to be cut down?

Kara Daniels:

Yes, I mean, of course, everybody has different circumstances on why they are cutting their trees down. But to honor them and give them the utmost respect. Most of the trees that we have in our yards or in the landscape are not ancient, right, they're not the old growth. And so they just asked for roughly three to five days, kind of a heads up, put your palms on them and just say, hey, inside your head or out loud, whatever you're comfortable with, just say, hey, we have to take you down. For whatever reason, they like to know what's going on, they usually already kind of know. But to just give them days, just say five days, and then we're going to take you down and so that way, they can actually remove their energy, you know, they can go down into the mycelial network, they can find another tree, they can go into higher consciousness. No, it gives them time to remove their energy. And so that's what they ask us to just let them know what's going on and why. And then when you do take them down, something that a lot of people might not consider is that, to honor their body also gives them utmost respect. So you can use their body for mulch, you can keep a twig and have it like on your altar or in your room. However it is that you want to use them. I don't know why, but I'm getting like a scratching post, for cat like, that's cool, too. To just use them in a practical way is totally okay. Again, it goes down to respect and just recognizing that they're beings and not things. And so that's just kind of what they always ask if you have to take them down. But don't touch the old growth. That's like a big no to all trees. And I feel like if you're listening to this podcast, you already kind of feel that way too. But the Ancient ones are a treasure.

Sara Artemisia:

Yeah, I'm like we have to talk about that for a second. I want to come back to the the bio-accumulators of energy piece that you were talking about. But before that, the old growth oh my goodness, they are such energetic anchors in the land they they hold the energetic geometric gridwork of the space of the Earth. They're holding that. And when we cut them down, we are cutting, we're severing an anchor. And it is mind boggling to me that any human practices ever are still cutting down old growth forests. It's absolutely atrocious. And, and yet we live in this world where that is still unfortunately happening. So what are the old growth trees doing in your experience in space?

Kara Daniels:

Yes, they are the anchor into Gaia. Truly, that's the way that they show me is we have essentially a higher consciousness grid kind of in the atmosphere, if you will, around Gaia. And then Gaia herself has her own consciousness and grid. And these trees are like bringing in that higher consciousness and anchoring it into the actual core and the landscape and it's like what do we cut them down? We're cutting that cord. It just like kills me to even think about it. It's just like, Why are you killing our mother? Like that's how I feel. And the way that they show that to me is like they're a direct funnel, or conduit for that higher consciousness to be in existence. And why do you think when you walk in an old growth forest, it's like you hush naturally and you can feel that energy. It's because that's what they're doing. That's their job is to bring that here and to keep the balance. And that's kind of what they share with me.

Sara Artemisia:

Yeah. So it's just amazing to me how much they are just these incredible beings of service, even to the point of what you just shared so directly that they will say, I will basically bioaccumulate this trauma, or energetically, let's say, accumulate this trauma and die for it so that it will no longer be in the space and then burn and then burn my body. It's like, wow, that is amazing that they are just, I mean, why humans would do that you don't just like that is amazing that the trees are doing that they just, they love us so much. They love us so much. They love the Earth so much. They are just these incredible beings of love and service. I just love the trees so much. So yeah, thank you so much for being an emissary of them. And just such a clear conduit, a clear ambassador for their messages. It's amazing what you're doing with them. And, and just in that way of reciprocity, that is the way of Nature. Reciprocity is the way of Nature. And so how in your experience, and What recommendations would you have for how people can offer gifts and really honor the trees from a space of reciprocity?

Kara Daniels:

Hmm, yes, this is so wonderful, I'm so glad you asked this giving gifts. And we're not talking like big things, you don't have to go out of your way. But just to recognize, again, not only maybe the trees you have in a park and your own landscape, but the bigger picture, the bigger ecosystem trees, gifts that they always say that they appreciate is singing. They love it when we sing. And you don't have to be a great singer, I really suck at it. But I do find that when I'm out in the trees, I'm like, and it just like comes out. Because what a lot of people don't know is that our voice has actually like this healing resonance, it heals. So singing to them, however, that wants to come out is wonderful. And it's like they sing with you, they'll stay away and dance with you. Which brings me to dancing, they love it when you dance near them or just are happy and laugh. Truly, these are gifts to them. If you welcomed them into your space, and just say this is for you, my friends, and you just do these things. They're like, yes, they love it, they get so happy. But if you want to be a little bit more ceremonial or intentional, you can give them just a little bit of your water, you can even just kind of pull your hair out for something really personal, like this is a gift from me to you, you don't have to have anything big. Sometimes I will take some tea leaves, I have an herbal garden. And I dry my own teas. And I always take some chamomile or mint and kind of just sprinkle them around. You can create Nature grids, which is literally where you tune into that other Nature beings around like stones and pine cones and sticks. And just create it doesn't have to be like this huge crystal grid or follow any real geometric shape by any means you can just make like a circle or just make a little pretty design kind of on their feet or their roots would be that actually transmits a lot of energy to and gives them a boost. That's one of our favorite offerings. Because you get to be hands on with Nature, you get creative. Other things that they appreciate just opening that heart space. Honestly, truly, they just want recognition at those point. Gifts come secondarily. But music is kind of the one that wants Oh, and instruments. If you're an instrumental person, take a flute or your guitar and just make music. That's probably their biggest task.

Sara Artemisia:

So great. And yeah, just so great. They want you to share it. Thanks so much for that. And I'm curious to know to how would you say that the trees really support you in your life's work?

Kara Daniels:

I feel like they are my life's work right now. How do they support me? Oh, my goodness, I consult the trees almost every single day. And whether it's just a check in just say, Hey, how you doing? Or what do you need from me? Or what message do you want me to share with the world. I just feel like I'm kind of the conduit for them. I just give them space and share. So I don't know if I would call this life work. It's just like, my mission to give them a voice. And so when I do that, it's like the trees kind of just step forward and share higher guidance for humanity. And that to me, just kind of wants to come out of my mouth constantly. It's like, oh, the tree said this, or they want you to know this. So I don't really call it work. I just feel like it's something that I can give humanity and give the trees

Sara Artemisia:

So great. And you know, I know there's this whole other realm we didn't even touch on in this conversation, which is that you're also an animal animal communicator. under, and would love to just ask a little a little window into that. How in your experience is tree communication similar or different to animal communication?

Kara Daniels:

Oh, it's complicated. And I say that in the best way. So traditionally, I used to work more directly with domestic animals, and then the wild trees. And just to kind of paint the picture, since about a year ago, I kind of transitioned more into the wildlife space. And what I have found is that the communications are all the same, you go into those subtle senses, that inner wisdom, those inner, that inner hearing, that kind of communication is all the same. What I have learned is that, like domestic animals, for example, are so excited to talk like, Hey, let me tell you my whole life story. And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. And so, to paint the picture a little bit more, it's like those wild trees, kind of depending on what their experiences are with people, they might not want to talk to us, they might not want to connect, sometimes we have to work a little bit harder to almost bring their energy out, let them know that it's safe. And it's okay to talk to us. A lot of trees in highly populated areas are really withdrawn. And they don't want to just talk your ear off. And so it takes a little bit more finesse, it takes a little bit more commitment to the communication and connection. But otherwise, everything else is about the same. You can get higher guidance, you can get healing, and just kind of depends on the unique individual of who it is that you're talking with. I find that that's kind of a big difference too

Sara Artemisia:

just like people, just

Kara Daniels:

like people. Yes. And I think that's something that a lot of people forget, is that trees are individual beings, like we have this whole archetype of yes, a pine is a pine. But that time isn't like that pine. So one might want to talk to you and the other one really might not want to. So just something else to keep in mind. Yeah, how there are these different layers? There's the oversoul. And then there's the unique individual as well. So well, Kara, so wonderful to connect today. So tell us how can people find out more about you and your work? Sure. So I'm most active on Instagram, deep.root.connections, you can find me there mostly, my website is also deep root connections. And I have something that I want to mention is that every month, the third Saturday of every month, I hold alien healing meditation. And it kind of just depends on where we're healing, what wants to come through. That's been really wonderful. And so you're more than welcome to join that collective. And something super exciting. I just kind of want to announce for those people that are like, Oh, animal communication, there is an animal communicator and healer summit that I am participating in, in June, between June 24 and 28th. And I'm sure Sarah will add a link so you can opt in to join it's totally free. And if not just reach out to me and I can hook you up but it's it's really wonderful. She has like 30 Animal communicators from all walks of life kind of coming forward. And it's a really amazing place to to connect and learn more

Sara Artemisia:

Amazing. And yeah, of course, we'll put all the links in the show notes so you can go there to find out more and so yeah, Kara just thank you so, so much. I know it's because of the plants and the trees that we've connected and so I'm just want to honor them grateful to them for connecting us and just so grateful for you and and what you do in this world. So thank you.

Kara Daniels:

Thank you so much. And yes, thank you to the trees for bringing us together.
