Perelandra Connections
Share Your Stories and Connect With Others
During Perelandra’s 45th Anniversary Celebrations in September 2026, we posed the question to all of our customers: “How long have you been with Perelandra and why?”
Your thoughtful responses poured in. Many stories of your years- and decades-long associations with Perelandra and co-creating with nature were rather amazing. You gave us a renewed sense of support. We want to celebrate your partnerships and share the support we received. We hear from so many folks wishing for connections with others who are also putting time and effort into their work with nature.
So, we have started a new weekly series focused on simply sharing some of your stories. And we will add them to this page as we share them, so you won’t miss any. We hope these stories will inspire and embolden you, as it has us, and that you will find them to be of value in your own unique, personal journey with Machaelle’s work, and in your partnership with nature.
Oh my! Being Chronologically Gifted I have to guess 31 years.
I imagine it started with Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered. Then we used the Rose Essences and the Garden Essences. Fell in love with MAP: Medical Assistance Program. We bought the workshop VHS tapes and the cassettes and the books. I shared the PKTT (kinesiology technique) with many people. Also shared the Medical Assistance Program and I'm still sharing! Of course, I've used all the Perelandra Essences and Solutions.
The Perelandra garden was no longer open for visitors, so I went to visit the Findhorn garden. During experience week as I worked in the garden area I saw a Genesa® crystal on a shelf in the shed. I immediately shared what it was and that it belonged in the garden!
To say Machaelle Wright had an influence on my life is putting it mildly. My whole concept of when the year begins changed! I call in the next step of my evolutionary process at the fall equinox.
The Essences are part of my everyday ritual. I consciously work with Nature in everything I do.
So, thank you Machaelle, and all of the beings that keep Perelandra going! I am forever grateful.
Love, Light & Laughter,

Happy 45th Birthday, Perelandra!
I found out about Perelandra around 2003, from a friend who recommended MAP to me. He knew I was open to it, plus I was trying to exist on very few resources, and even less medical insurance.
I first had noticeable WOW experiences with the gardening processes. I’d previously bought six plants for my apartment with the best of intentions, but slowly watched four of them die horrible deaths. After starting up a “houseplant” garden with a DDP, all of my subsequent plants, old and new, not only lived, but soon I was propagating some and adding to the bunch.
I added the MBP [Microbial Balancing Program] to help me address what I was working on with MAP and found amazing results when I stuck with it, finding a way through repetitive sinus issues, for example.
I asked my MAP team once if I could try Professional MAP in my work as a singing instructor. I said, “I see this as a healing journey and so do many of my students, so would this work?” I got a yes. I found an immediate shift in the types of songs I suggested for students. I was able to get out of my head and out of my ego and wishful thinking, and just go with what I muscle tested. Oftentimes these were songs whose lyrics really appealed to the student based on [their] history that I just didn’t personally have. Over the years I’ve experienced a transformation in understanding what’s actually helpful and healing in this context, versus what we were taught was “needed” for growth. I’ve attracted many people who’ve wanted to heal and grow beyond old tales and messages from critical outsiders. It’s been invaluable.
When I stick with it, I’ve engaged in great healing and beauty in countless ways. I can’t thank you all enough for the service you provide and the integrity with which you operate.
All the best!

At the end of a Past Life Workshop in 1982 in Texas, a participant asked if I’d heard of Perelandra. I hadn’t, but chills ran through me so fiercely I phoned immediately and received several printouts on green copy paper for quite some time. I’m still with you through several names, states, classes and workshops — quoting from Machaelle's books and telling everyone about Perelandra. My home is a refuge of biodiversity! I’ve been using Essences, etc. And at 83 yrs old, I’ve had some injuries but have never been ill. Thanks for that!
Best Anniversary Wishes,

My first encounter with all things Perelandra was around 2004, when I came across Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered in a bookshop. Since then, I’ve worked with MAP, the Essences, the Garden Workbook, the Perelandra Solutions, the Microbial Balancing Solutions, the Microbial Balancing Program (briefly, but more consistent work with that program still lies ahead of me — I do still have the bumper sticker, just in case!) and, above all, I work with Nature in soil-less gardens. I can’t imagine my life without the Perelandra books, products and protocols. They have deeply enriched every aspect of my professional, personal and trans-personal life.
As extraordinary, beneficial and transformative as all of the bottled products are (and for which I am deeply grateful, particularly for the Essences, ETS, EoP) — for me, the heart of my experience with Perelandra is the partnership with Nature and the amazing work with my teams. They are magnificent! They have seen me through health crises, personal/professional challenges (what one of my mentors calls “FGOs” — effing growth opportunities) and any number of learning experiences, from interpersonal and professional relationships to deep expansion. (Thank you, thank you, all involved in the creation of the Rose II Essences!!) I have set soil-less garden goals for everything from my role in family and friendship dynamics to the blooming of multiple careers. I work regularly with my teams when writing sensitive communications, networking/marketing materials, etc. (they provide exquisite editorial assistance!) as well as in my work as an educator, musician and sound healer. My teams and I have produced multiple CDs, MP3s, DVDs, videos, etc. and I wouldn’t think of preparing for or participating in my creative/performing/healing/teaching activities without them.
One of the most beautiful examples of our partnership occurred in the manifestation of a private ceremony I held for my recently deceased father (7 weeks after his passing) with 20 close members of my community in both a beautiful outside Nature setting and in my home music sanctuary. I had a series of 4 overarching goals for him, myself and the other participants, plus an Intents List of 8 items for the quality of the ceremony itself. It turned out to be more meaningful, wondrous and full of harmony, sweetness and love than I could have possibly imagined.
For me, one of the most special Perelandra processes is the Perelandra Post-Death ETS Plus Process. It has allowed me to offer service to several loved ones in the immediate aftermath of their passing — and also to share very special moments with them at a sacred juncture in our relationship(s). I am so grateful to Machaelle and Nature for the opportunity to energetically commune with dear friends as they leave their Earth-plane lives, especially when I haven’t been able to be physically present for their time of transition — a blessing. Thank you.
MAP has not only saved my life on numerous occasions, it is a program that provides consistent insight, assistance and relief (thank you, MAP Stress Sessions!) in an increasingly chaotic and volatile world. Besides my regular MAP sessions, I work with my MAP team extensively when undergoing conventional medical treatment (from therapy to massage, surgery, the dentist, emergencies, etc.) as well as in sessions that I have with spiritual intuitives and other mentors whose work with body/mind/spirit involves my medical well-being as a key component. In my own work as a sound healer, I work with a coning that functions in part as a professional MAP team.
I regularly use the Perelandra Nature Cards (wow!) when I get stuck and am always grateful for the insight and perspective they offer.
Machaelle’s books are an infinite source of inspiration and encouragement, plenty of homework (which I happen to like), much appreciated humor and no-bullshit. I often reread them and have passed them on to dear Ones in my life.
I’m extremely grateful for Jeannette’s and Beth’s sensitive and clear feedback and counsel on the Perelandra Hotline these many years. What a journey…
In this spirit, I’m very grateful for the community aspect of Perelandra. I remember being continually inspired by the paper copies of “Perelandra Voices” in former days, followed by the virtual forums and now the zoom meetings. How wonderful to hear the stories of others who explore, navigate, and dance through this material in unique ways. What I find very special about Perelandra is the call for each individual to do our part (without needing an intermediary), while at the same time being part of an Aquarian adventure.
Thank you Machaelle and the Perelandra team. Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!!
I love this question, because I love how I found Perelandra.
That was my beginning and I went all in. Machaelle's books have informed how I understand and move through the world. I find her groundedness soothing, her humor hilarious, and her blunt pragmatism refreshing and reassuring. There is no airy-fairy woo woo fluff here. I realize there are those who would read the same thing and wonder why she's not institutionalized, but when I read Dancing it landed in me as a giant "Oh yes, now I see."
I have used the essences and Perelandra processes for practically everything in my life, from health issues to our yard and gardens to soil-less garden work for everything from a garage sale to running my business. PKTT has been one of the most useful tools, and I find that it helps me stop overthinking. Most recently I credit my MAP team and the PIC process with helping me move through knee replacement surgery/recovery with much more ease than I anticipated.
Finally, I think we were lucky to visit Perelandra on the summer solstice of June 2001. Despite horrendous heat and humidity, it was a thrill to see the garden in person, hear Machaelle speak, and most importantly introduce our then 1.5-year old daughter to a place so deeply co-created with Nature. I'm attaching a few photos of the scrapbook pages I made from that trip, back when I did such things 
I don't talk much with people about my work with Nature and the Perelandra processes, despite the fact that I've been in healing work for over 30 years now. I've been wondering lately if it isn't time for me to "come out of the closet" and share more about all that I've learned and what Perelandra has to offer us and the world.
Again, happy anniversary and thanks for all that you do.
With gratitude and affection,
J.H., Ohio
