In this episode, we sit down with Molly Cusick, the creator of The Tree Pilgrimage. Molly's journey began when a redwood tree sent an image to her mind’s eye during a dream. This moment sparked years of listening to trees from around the world. Now, Molly guides listeners into the realm of tree communication and connection. She teaches how trees communicate through imagery, dreams, and a felt sense.

Molly provides a clear, practical guide to tree communication, filled with tools and exercises you can start using right away. She teaches you how to ground yourself, visualize roots to connect with trees, and become aware of the images, sensations, scents, and subtle sounds that form a shared language with these beings. Molly shows you how to adapt your approach to each tree's unique personality, how to ask for permission, and how to interpret your body’s responses as clear guidance. With warmth and clarity, she encourages you to view the forest as a community of individuals rather than mere background scenery.

She then takes you to the edge of the unseen. Molly shares her fairy experiences, including an encounter with a long-limbed fairy beside her car at dusk, feeling a double “bubble” of energy that requires a spoken request to enter, and a watchful fairy who accompanies her until she leaves the forest. Throughout these experiences, she emphasizes the importance of discernment - protecting your tender moments, sharing them only with those who will appreciate them, and trusting the subtle ways your intuition communicates with you.

If you’re curious about tree communication and the subtle magic of the Nature Kingdom, Molly serves as your guide and teacher in this journey, offering both wonder and a practical toolkit.

About Molly Cusick

Molly is a photographer, potter, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, and adventurer whose life changed when the trees began speaking to her through image and dream. In 2018, she followed a call from deep within her heart and began The Tree Pilgrimage, a journey of visiting, listening to, and photographing extraordinary trees around the world. Through this years-long communion, Molly developed a clear, embodied method for connecting with trees through sensation, imagery, and intuitive listening.

In this episode, we sit with Vanessa Gates-Elston, an alchemist, intuitive guide, and lifelong friend of the nature spirits, inside a gentle, wonder-filled library of magic. Here, every shelf hums with stories of fairies, angels, dragons, and mermaids, each one offering simple, heart-centered ways to feel safe, present, and bright.

As we explore this magical, light-filled library, Vanessa shares formative encounters with nature spirits and sea beings, then offers grounded, everyday tools you can try immediately. These powerful tools include:

• Intuitive Yes and No in the body
• Fairy, angel, dragon, and unicorn guardians
• Feeling the aliveness and connection in all things
• Empowering protection rituals and boundaries
• Doors of light for nightmares and fear

We widen the lens to possibility... Everything is alive and connected, from trees and stones to stars and the plasma in your blood. When problems feel heavy or stuck, rise for a hawk’s-eye view and invite your higher self to guide you. Let daily joy - drawing, dancing, cooking, coding, or touching a tree - be your gentle guidance and nervous system care.

From the galactic library to the quiet space within your heart, may you always remember: you are light, you are loved, and you are never alone.
