I feel a little shy about our ‘plant-sit’ learning circles. While Heather Wild Earth Remedies has extensive training in Plant Spirit Healing with teachers like Pam Montgomery, there’s still a vulnerability in sharing this kind of experience with others. And yet, these circles really quickly become some of my favourite and most meaningful experiences of learning together in community and directly from the plants! Which is a way of learning that feels especially alive and powerful to me.
When I approach a medicinal plant with curiosity and a question like “Who are you?”rather than “What are you good for?”, something really shifts inside me. It’s a practice of rewriting my internal narrative about the world around me, moving from a relationship rooted in supremacy and extraction toward one grounded in connection and belonging.
When I approach a forest with this mindset shift it’s a powerful reminder of the genuine feeling of support, sense of home and of being held that trees especially seem to offer. And it helps me reweave myself into the very fabric of life and the ecosystems we are part of, from which so many of us have been violently severed…
The practice itself is the medicine. I’ve yet to encounter a simpler or more profound approach to healing with plants.
Thank you, friends, for such a beautiful morning yesterday at our Herbal Learning Circle, where we practised sitting quietly, opening our senses, awakening our intuition and listening to the trees and plants around us. Im so grateful to you all, and to our local community of practice.
