π Poisonous Plant Medicine π
Week 1 | Plant Spirit Communication & Poison As Medicine
Plant spirit communication is the practice of using our intuition to directly connect with plants. This is in diametrical opposition to capitalistic, material reductionist herbalism that dominates the plant medicine world. Instead of asking what you can get from a plant, we directly ask the plant what they want to share. This allows us to experience the energies of plants without having to ingest or even be in the same vicinity of a plant. This is a skill that everybody can develop!
βPoisonβ as medicine is the spine of my work with poisonous plants. Why do so many consciousness shifting plants make us feel physically ill? What can we learn when we balance the typical βlight and loveβ approach to spiritual paths with shadow integration? What if the majority of the suffering we experience is not from the things we are afraid of, but from our avoidance of those things?
Week 1 of the Poisonous Plant Medicine course will introduce the cornerstones of this series. If you can only make it to one class, make it this one!
Week 1 for the online course is sold out for the January 20th group but there are still spaces available for the February 10th group!
Tomorrow night will be the first class at @animamundiherbals and I canβt wait!
All of these classes can be attended as the full 6 week course or you can drop in for individual classes.
