Excerpts of an interview with Saskia Von Diest, Ph.D. from Ecofluency by Karolien Polenus

Welcome Saskia,

Could you begin by describing your work with nature and trees, and then explain what Ecofluency is?

When did you start working with the Yew tree?

Could you give me some examples of the wisdom you gained from Yew?

In a previous conversation we had, you told me “I’ve realised more and more that the Yew works with and on me, rather than me working with the Yew. It is an ancient and powerful portal!” Could you elaborate on that?

In relation to this project and for anyone interested in working with Yew trees, could you offer some advice on how to approach and work with them?
