Welcome back to What If Color Were a Person? – my monthly series where I explore the soul of each color through a fully imagined character. It’s April, and nature is stretching, blooming, and breathing fresh life into the world – so what better time to meet Green?
She goes by Willow Sage, and trust me – once you meet her, you’ll wish you could book a weekend at her retreat, drink her tea, and sit in the garden barefoot beside her.
Meet Willow Sage
Willow Sage is the kind of woman you instantly feel calmer around. There’s no rush in her world – only rhythm. She lives outside the city in a handcrafted wooden home tucked between trees and wildflowers, where the windows are always open and the scent of basil, rosemary, and lemon balm floats through the air.
She’s in her 60s, but you’d never guess it. Her skin glows with health, her laugh is full-bodied and easy, and she moves like someone completely at ease in her own body – flowing, flexible, grounded. That’s the Willow part – graceful, deeply rooted, and resilient. She bends with life’s changes but never breaks, always swaying back into center.
Sage is her gift. She’s a healer, a nutritionist, and a teacher. Her home doubles as a wellness retreat – not flashy, but sacred. People come to her to reconnect: with their bodies, their food, the Earth, and themselves. She teaches with her hands in the soil and her heart wide open. Morning yoga in the meadow. Midday plant-based meals from her garden. Evening meditations under the stars.
She is not “against” the world’s chaos – she is for something better. She doesn’t spend her energy fighting; she invests it in planting, creating, and growing.

Willow & Her People
Willow Sage never “hosts” in the traditional sense – she welcomes. People don’t feel like guests in her space; they feel like they’ve come home. The moment you arrive at her retreat, she’s already barefoot, hands in the soil, greeting you with a warm smile and the scent of something earthy steeping in a kettle.
She knows your name. Not because she read it on a form – but because she remembered it in her body, in her way of being fully present with each person. You’re never “the 3 PM appointment.” You’re a soul who made your way to her, and that means something.
She listens before she teaches. She looks you in the eyes and sees past the burnout, the stress, the disconnection. And when she speaks, it’s rarely with instructions – it’s with stories, with rituals, with questions that open doors you forgot were inside you.
Workshops with Willow aren’t lectures. They’re circles – barefoot in the grass, hands wrapped around clay mugs, laughter mixing with birdsong. She leads from within the group, not above it. She believes in the collective wisdom of women, of the Earth, of silence even.
In yoga sessions, she doesn’t correct your form – she reminds you to listen to your body. In plant medicine walks, she introduces herbs like old friends. Everything is a relationship in Willow’s world – even with weeds.
The Willow Within
The willow tree is one of the most feminine forces in nature. It curves. It bends. It reaches downward and inward. It surrenders to the wind without ever losing its strength. That’s Willow Sage – not rigid, not hard, but incredibly resilient.
Like the tree she’s named after, she embodies feminine softness as power – not in defiance of strength, but as a truer version of it. She doesn’t shout to be heard. She doesn’t need to. Her presence speaks volumes. Her touch heals. Her words plant seeds.
She holds space like a mother holds a child – gently, attentively, and without needing anything in return. Her femininity isn’t performative; it’s instinctual, woven into everything she does – from how she moves through her home to how she folds a blanket for a guest who’s staying longer than planned.
She is a Willow. She is a Sage.
She is Green – alive, open, and always growing.
Willow Sage is Green in her purest form – not just a color, but a way of life. She reminds us that healing doesn’t always require hustle – sometimes it begins with slowness, soil, and sunlight.
