Herbs and Dreams

Life is sooooo much more than the individual hero and heroine's journey... it's the journey of remembrance. Dreaming can help us shift out of the “myth of separation” towards a lived sense of interconnection with the whole web of life, spanning time and space. Which is, I believe, THE task of modern human beings at this time. The future of the planet just might even depend on it.

Most modern dreamwork approaches focus on dreams as aspects of the self and individual healing. But individuality is just the tip of the iceberg of dreaming's deeper reweaving power. Here we explore how we can and do dream from what I call "circles of kinship" —family, community, land, ancestral systems, Mother Earth herself. Dreaming is always trying to help us become more helpful, awake, creative and moving towards systemic coherence.

We also explore...

how to orient our dreamweaving practice in service to all life.

the power of holding clear intention and dedication.

how our personal values act as a filter for interpreting the infinite possible meanings of dreams.

the caution of ego inflation or deflation in our interpretation

... and more!

This episode (and entire podcast) is offered with a prayer to benefit All, All, All of Creation. All of Life, all of whom are our relatives. Blessed Be.

Humanity is standing in the threshold; that space in an initiation or rite of passage that is betwixt and between. The threshold time in a process of transformation is precisely the juncture when the self, as she has known herself to be, has shed her old skin, but does not yet know what form her new skin will take.

Standing in this place betwixt is, in every sense of the word, unknown. The sacrifice of an initiation is that we do not know who or what will emerge from the other side. We don't even know, in a very literal sense, if we will emerge at all. What does an individual or a community or a nation or a planet do at such a juncture?

We pull from new sources of wisdom, power and inspiration.

We dream.

Dreams provide the building blocks that architect our way out and through the keyhole of rebirth.

Let's dream our way through the threshold, together.

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!
