Plant Medicine

Deep in the heart of the Amazon basin and high in the Andean mountains there are indigenous traditions that continue to this day where one can experience deep transformative healing within nature. These traditions contain natural ways of healing and sacred plants that assist the spirit, mind, emotion, and body return to balance and harmony. An item frequently overlooked in modern descriptions of shamanism is the relationship between the healer shaman and the plants and spirits that they work with to restore balance and harmony. For it is the spirit or consciousness of a plant more than the chemical make up of its body that assists a person on their healing journey. Natural healing with plant medicines is a collaboration, a co-creation between a healer, the One consciousness that animates us all, and the spirits in nature to facilitate a transformational experience for a person seeking healing. In this living celebration, they come together to co-create a unique healing experience that restores balance and harmony within a person seeking healing and their community.

Plant medicine is far more than a collection of remedies to provide relief from symptoms as it is a way of working within nature to restore inner harmony and peace. The elders of the plant kingdom, the teacher plants, are wise beings that have much to share with us if we are willing to do the inner work and practices to open up so that we receive what they wish to share with us. Under ceremonial conditions with an experienced guide, we can enter into a common union with Spirit and these spirit healers so that we can heal ourselves, integrate and ground these experiences, and discover our role in the cosmic plan, so that like a flower we open up to more fully express our natural gifts.
