Skye was raised on the edge of a wildlife reserve in South Africa, where she spent most of her days exploring outdoors and immersed in the Imaginal World. She now lives on Wurundjeri Country, in Melbourne Australia with her husband, toddler and Border Collie. Her early years were spent working in wildlife rehabilitation and as a Wilderness Guide in the South African bush. She then underwent a traditional 3 year apprenticeship in Taoist Healing practises before moving to the Peruvian Amazon where she entered into a full-time traditional curanderismo apprenticeship with her Shipibo teachers of the Mahua – Lopez lineage. On return from the jungle, she has been passionate about finding meaningful ways to deepen into and integrate the life altering paradigmatic shifts she experienced through her time learning from the plants. This is primarily done through her work as a facilitator of Experiential Deep Ecology workshops, as a Folk Herbalist, a Community Grief Ritualist, a leader of Study Groups on the work of Stephen Harrod Buhner and his body of work on “contemplative animism”, and as a facilitator of immersive group experiences into practices focusing on reclamation of Living Earth Perception, Mythic Imagination and Ritual Rhythms.
