Restoring Sacred Reciprocity of

Life & Death

Six Week Online Course

This course, woven into the Divine Intelligence of the Natural World,

will affect how you walk with both life & death
 

For many, their journey is opening to letting go of fear of death, or realizing it serves to get their end-of-life paperwork done that they have resisted. Some are walking with deep grief from the loss of a loved one. And, for some, there is an awakening curiosity about what’s possible when we look beyond the fear, resistance, and cultural conditioning. Without bypassing our natural grief from loss, or fear instilled from an old paradigm, can we explore, and envision how we can serve the good of the whole with our relationship with both life and death through the lens of sacred reciprocity, and the divine wisdom of the natural world?

This exploration that restores the sacred union of life and death, as the ancient ones knew, and are reawakening in us through the ancestral realms is very alive, and this seed is asking to be planted in the collective consciousness. It does not discount the very real grief of loss, or our recognition that we’re not used to walking into the unknown. It has not been woven into the old paradigm that has instilled fear of death.

But, what if we walk through life feeling supported to go through all the little deaths of the old, and birthing new versions of ourselves at a higher vibration one step at a time? Imagine how that would transform the quality of our end-of-life death, and how our death can feed life for the good of the whole. It not only has the potential of transforming our relationship with death, but life as a sacred journey.

I am offering this course to support the integration of this natural wisdom into our life and death journey as I’m exploring it in my own walk with death, aging, and love of the divine wisdom of the natural world that has guided me through many seasons of my life. I do not want to just die. I want my death to be a gift that feeds life. Is this something that you want as well? Do you want to support seeding the collective consciousness with the restoration of sacred reciprocity of life and death? I have learned no matter where we’re at in our lives, it is not too soon to cultivate a walk through life that includes death, and eventually serves this sacred passage. As, it is intricately woven into our lives.

I will be referring to my newest book, Plant Medicine for End-of-Life Care, Welcoming the wisdom of plants for conscious living & dying throughout this course. I hope you will join me.

A few words of praise for Plant Medicine for End-of Life Care Book

As a writer I must be a student of life. That of course includes death, for they are part of the same entity. Imagine how disconcerting it was to discover the subject is virtually taboo in our western societies. And how joyous to then discover Mary Lane’s field guide to nature’s treasure trove of plants hiding in plain sight willing and able to assist us in the ultimate transition with dignity, grace, and ease. What a blessing.

David Seidler, Academy Award writer of “The King’s Speech”

“Death is our friend precisely because it brings us into absolute and passionate presence with all that is here, that is natural, that is love. Death stands before eternity and says YES.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

As a shamanic practitioner who specializes in assisting the souls of people who are dying (transitioning) to return to the Light (of the Celestial Realms), I have (been given) a view into the realms of the invisible (unseen, spirit) that illuminates the many and often complex spiritual~energetic dynamics that can affect (sometimes very detrimentally) someone’s passage Home. I have witnessed the immense struggles and suffering of someone who is unprepared for death, as well as the beauty, grace and peace that infuses a person who has intentionally and consciously engaged in the dying process.

For those who are wanting to transition consciously and with peace and grace, I have seen how deeply significant it is for them to connect and commune with nature. In her book, Plant Medicine for End-of-Lafe Care, Mary Lane exquisitely weaves the immense support of the natural world not only into the end-of-life journey, but also into the many deaths and rebirths one goes through in life. In this way, Mary offers profound guidance for both conscious living and dying.

My deep grief of being witness to many deaths filled with anxiety and fear as a hospice nurse for 12 years, was a catalyst for me to search for ways to help people to have a more peaceful transition. Mary’s book is a bridge to getting to the root cause of that fear. I am excited for this resource, as not only a tool to support end of life care, but to offer guidance in using plant medicine to bring forward unresolved issues before one gets to their death bed.  This is your reference book on how to prepare for a beautiful sacred passage.

Carol Meckley RN, BSN, LMT

As someone who cared for three of my grandparents during their transitions, I am so very grateful to see this book! More than a decade ago, I knew there must be a better way, but we were only offered traditional hospice to assist. Mary Lane's book is revolutionary. Plant Medicine for End-of-Life Care will remain on my bookshelf as something I come back to again and again until the day I die. I know it will soothe many with its deep wisdom. I recommend ordering at least five copies to have on hand for friends and family. Death, as they say, is inevitable for all of us. This book is a gift from the Goddess Herself.  

Trista Hendren, Founder of Girl God Publishing

Mary's book, Plant Medicine for End-of-Life Care, embraces one of life's most profound threshold moments. Using plant medicine in a variety of ways, Mary offers in-depth guidance for anyone wanting to hold a sacred and healing space during a loved one's dying process. Her book reclaims our death experience from the man-made world, and returns it to the rightful realm of the Dark Mother where the soul is dearly held with love, grace, and tender care.

--Trista Haggerty Founder of the Living Grail School, and author of When the Dark Mother Calls

As though Mary Lane has smuggled this once forbidden knowledge across the ages, for which many women lost their lives practicing and protecting, she now unveils and shares generously this timeless wisdom in her warm and generous voice. Her book is ancient salve, allowing us to step away from the corporatizing of death and dying, and gently guides us back into the loving arms of Mother Nature.

Mary Lane has spent her adult life realigning herself with the divine intelligence of the natural world. She has discovered Mother Earth is an infinite reservoir of immense wisdom for our human journey, and a master teacher of conscious living and dying for the good of the whole. 

In addition to Plant Medicine for End-of-Life Care book, she is the author of Divine Nourishment, A Woman’s Sacred Journey with Food, and Meena: A heroine’s initiation reclaiming her relationship with the Great Mother. Both latter books focus on healing the feminine principle within us all through reconnecting with our multidimensional self-similarity with the natural world. She provides consultations with custom plant spirit remedies to support the transitions woven into conscious living and dying. 

As Mary walks her path as an elder, she is focused on bringing this natural wisdom of the plant kingdom into our relationship with death and end-of-life care. She has woven her experience supporting others through their dying journey, with the use of various plant remedies to aid in not only the physical comfort, but the internal journey that accompanies the aging and dying process shared in her latest book. She is supporting the restoration of sacred reciprocity between life and death as she integrates this within her walk towards her own eventual death.
