Herbs and Dreams

Dreaming does not exist in a vacuum, it's in no way separate from the rest of our lives and psyches. Dreaming is trying to help the waking life... but what do I mean by help?

In this episode we explore how I belive that dreaming is trying to help you fulfill the reason that you came here to this world, to aid your spiritual evolution, to grow your healing. Dreaming wants to help you soften ever more into love's embrace...

But all of this only occurs if we believe it to be so. This episode deepens our exploration of how what we believe about dreams, and life, matters in the meaning we make from dreams and the steps we take to weave them.

I dive into a few more of my core beliefs about life and dreams including how:

- We, all human beings and all life, are all related. We are family and we are in this together.

- Dreams are, as Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes says a letter from home that come to awaken us.

- Dreams, and the meaning we make from them, should make us more loving, kind, warm and helpful.

Join Kimberly Gallagher and I as we share the origin story of our collaboration on the upcoming course Rhythms and Relationships: A Feminine Way into Herbalism.

Spoiler alert: the project was seeded in a dream. The dream involved a puppy that we were to raise together... May this story water seeds of inspiration in your heart to turn your attention in dreaming's direction and be foolish (brave?) enough to give weaving it a go!



Kimberly also shares with us why this work matters in uncertain times, speaking to:

The crumbling of patriarchal structures and the collective uncertainty that brings.

The choice to root yourself in the solid things — plants, elements, Earth, neighbors — rather than relying on cultural structures that are shaking.

The importance of honing our listening skills allows us to discern what's needed moment to moment amidst rapid fire change.



We also explore how...

Plants have always been the people's medicine.

Herbalists serve as conduits, learning their medicine, and transmitting that healing to their communities.

As systems destabilize, bioregional-relational-herbal knowledge becomes even more critical.

Modern mobility has eroded belonging, and the importance of rooting in place: Reweaving local connections is both medicinal and practical preparation for times when neighbors and nearby plants are who you rely on.

This episode is a love note to the inner feminine and a prayer to bring balance to the masculine and feminine within our selves, our communities and our world. Restoring this balance begins, as always, first within our own minds and hearts.

Join me on a journey to explore the state of the relational dance between these inner forces, while examining how much value, or lack of value, your feminine has been receiving.

Oftentimes a pattern of devaluing her has been with us for years, decades, lifetimes and generations. This was certainly the case for me. But as I share, these capacities reawoke with the gift of my attention, my intention, a wee bit of instruction and permission by teachers, the plants and Nature herself.

Here's my permission to you to re-awaken the superpowers of the feminine, including:

Dreaming

Instincts, Feelings & Sensations

Receptive Listening & Nature Communication

Experiencing Relatedness & Interconnection

Tracking Patterns, Synchronicity & Systems Thinking

Re-enthroning these capacities are, in my estimation, a primary task of modern human beings to move through the collective birth portal and into a deeper embodied experience of our interconnectedness.

I'm also thrilled to announce a new upcoming course Rhythms and Relationships: A Feminine Way into Herbalism offered through Learning Herbs with my beautiful friend and colleague Kimberly Gallagher. Here's the link to early bird register with 10% off!

In this first Q&A episode, my dear friend Emily sits in the interviewer's chair and brings your questions to me. Join us as we weave through the heart of Herbs and Dreams: why herbs and dreams belong together, how the plants become our teachers and allies, and how to tend a dreamweaving practice that actually grounds into the rhythm of your life and lasts the long haul.

The questions traverse diverse terrain including...

How there is a higher order that dreams us and has been dreaming us all along

How to begin meeting the wild medicinal plants where you live

What to do when dream journaling feels overwhelming

Why a dreaming practice ebbs and flows through the seasons of a life

Why our hardest dreams, nightmares and recurring dreams, are often the most important medicine of all

The teachers and plants that have shaped my path

... and a bit more of my story.

Do you have questions you'd like to hear answered? Send them our way to support@herbsanddreams.com. And enjoy!

This episode is a blessing and a prayer to the summer in your heart. Having just crossed into the season on the heels of a solstice that felt like sweet medicine, I reflect on the turning of the wheel and the particular gift this time of year offers: permission to revel in the warmth, the light, and the beauty, and to shine your fullest, most authentic self.

This is, in fact, exactly what life needs from us. To be and create Beauty.

Join me as we reclaim Beauty from the narrow clutches of the dominant culture and return it to what the flowers have always known - that beauty blossoms from within and inspires life to grow outside of itself. For this dream world of Mother Earth to remain a beautiful one - it requires each one of US to boldly shine as the unique vibration of creation that we are.

Blessed be your Beauty, dear ones! And thank you for the medicine that you are!
