Ep.120 Two Polymaths in Conversation with Laura Alyn

Is your intuition is truly “yours,” or is it a conversation with the living field all around you? 

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Alyn—a true polymath, hula dancer, scientist, and plant communicator—for a deep exploration of intuition, plant consciousness, and what it means to be truly present with our bodies and our kin. We talk about how plants teach us to trust subtle signals, integrate the wisdom of art and science, and dissolve the old boundaries between “woo” and “rigor.” 

Laura and I dig into how embracing all your senses—physical, subtle, and imaginative—can transform how you relate to nature, your creativity, and even your business. Plus, we share stories of how movement, mythology, and collective fields are reshaping how we know ourselves.

Curious? This conversation is for anyone ready to experience intuition, plant communication, and self-awareness in a whole new light.

Topics Covered about Plant Communication and Intuition
➡️ What intuition really is (beyond just “gut feeling”) and why it’s relational, not isolated
➡️ How plants and movement practices (like hula) can help you access deeper wisdom
➡️ The power of integrating science, art, and myth in your personal evolution
➡️ Why collective fields (including non-human kin) change how we know and create
