Hi! I’m Beana
I’m a landwife, a childless mother, and a transformational medicine guide for people ready to come home to their authenticity, reclaim their inner authority, and live well in their bodies and on this Earth.
My alchemical work blends the power of a laser-sharp intuition, Earth Medicine, elemental forces, and polarity to deliver profound healing. My unique combination of medicine work, somatic exploration, mythopoetic translation, and elemental healing empower my clients to step into their authenticity, regulate their nervous systems, surf the highs and lows of life with grace and imagination, and remove the obstacles between them and love..

About Beana
Over the past decade, I’ve built a world class mushroom temple, co-authored a best selling microdosoing course, led four years of sold out immersions as a microdosing mentor, coached thousands of people across the globe on how to reclaim authenticity and restore inner authority, facilitated thousands of hours of psychedelic preparation and integration sessions, facilitated thousands of hours of community gatherings, studied the art and mechanics of living in community, managed a small homestead, and led over a thousand retreats at Rootstock and beyond.
At the core of all my work is this truth: when you’re rooted in your authenticity, you can trust your life, your intuition, and let your life rise up to meet you.
You are your wisest teacher and most reliable guide and when you choose to live from that deep center of your being, you can live like your life depends on it!
Through my signature offering the Medicine Retreat, I’ve guided 850+ people to heal their depression, anxiety, overwhelm, existential dread, OCD, PTSD, fear of death, fear of success, etc etc etc and reclaim their healthy essence - teaching them how to decondition patterns of behaviors and reflexes that were instilled during childhood and re-relate to the mundane magic of life in a body on Planet Earth.
Men, women, and trans folks ranging in age from 18-88 from all over the USA and world have made their way to my magical hill in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom to experience the one-of-a-kind magic of Rootstock, the place and temple and homestead that holds, informs, and amplifies the work I offer. Anchored by earth temples, gardens, a wood-fired bathhouse, and the rugged beauty of the Northern forest, the hill is a co-conspirator in all of what I offer.
