🌼Herbal Wisdom: Plant Spirits and Healing Paths with Robin Rose Bennett
Tune into this transformative chat with Robin Rose Bennett, a brilliant herbalist and storyteller, steeped in Wise Woman wisdom. We celebrated the spring equinox, a time for renewal, and dove straight into how we connect with plants for deep healing.
Robin's journey into herbalism, guided by nature's wisdom and spiritual mentors, really hit home for me. She stressed the importance of nourishing connections with nature, especially asking plants for permission before harvesting.
Her insights on healing herbs like Hawthorne and Oatstraw opened up new paths for both physical and spiritual healing. It was more than a talk; it was a reminder of the intertwining of nature, personal growth, and activism in our continuous journey of self-discovery.
