"If you are ready to transform your life then Phoenix Medicines is a great place to start. Raileigh Duschen creates a delightful, flowing path for the reader to set off on a spiritual healing journey, inspired by her own story of overcoming and blossoming. The topics she covers are trusted methods for self-development and inner healing. But, it is her poetry that speaks to the heart in a way that transcends learning and understanding to a place of deep knowing, a true salve for the soul."

"What’s most remarkable about Raileigh isn’t just her unconventional path, but her awareness and wisdom she displays. She is committed to spiritual growth and wisdom. She is an old soul in a young body, at the start of a life -long journey to learn, to share and to love. I suspect her inquisitiveness and unique outlook will take her interesting places. This is a conversation for all of us, about the ongoing quest for greater consciousness, for peace and for a simple love of life. It’s a conversation you don’t want to miss."

"I had the joy of working with Raileigh in the lead up to and during the Organic Growers School Spring Conference earlier this year, at which she was a speaker. She brought compassion and kindness to all of our interactions, and made it easy for me as a coordinator to work with her. In her class, she also provided something that we rarely have at the Conference: an opportunity for farmers and growers to ground themselves in their bodies and reconnect to why they do what they do. While most of our workshops have to do with practical skills for growing food, it was invaluable to have a class that brought in the spiritual connections we have to the land, to ourselves, and to our history. I had a participant come find me at the conference to let me know that it was his favorite class, and that he had experienced a breakthrough moment during the workshop with Raileigh. She has so much to offer the world, and I can't wait to see what she does with this book and beyond."

"Raileigh is a beam of light. She radiates a divine connection that is not often seen. Her wisdom is far beyond her years. The Conscious Lifestyle is the way out of suffering. Awakened young leaders like Raileigh are a reminder that the future is bright indeed."

"Raileigh came and spoke at Warren Wilson recently, and it was really awesome! Her passion for helping folks connect to themselves, plants, and the natural world as a whole is evident and unmatched. We really appreciated having her come to campus to share her stories and philosophies with us."
