Jul 11, 2018

In the Intro:

In the Interview:

The strong childhood memory, and teenage crisis, that started Kami on the plant path
Recalling the era when being an herbalist was an underground, misunderstood, frowned-upon thing
You never know where or when the seeds you plant will sprout
Bringing information to the culture so that it can later be mirrored back to our children (or loved ones) by someone other than us
Unspoken soul transmissions from the ancestors
How to extract ancestral stories from your living relatives (do it now!)
What you are seeking is also seeking you
We are downloading decades of ancestral information right now & it’s causing information overload- when do we know enough?- an ancestral strategy for simplifying our herb learning
You don’t have to know everything, too much information clogs the channels
Stepping into power as bleeding women
Healing menstrual shame & a look at the learned cultural practices of plugging and drugging (which, in the long run, just repress and create more pain)
How your blood & bleeding time reflects your state of health back to you
Aligning with the energy of your moon time- enhanced perception, clarity around boundaries, awareness of emotion
Menstruation is a truth serum
Sensitivity is what’s gonna save us
Women, exhaustion, and rest
One small change that has dramatically reduced PMS symptoms for many of the women Kami and I know (including me!)
Returning to our innate body wisdom
