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. 00:37 Introducing Robin Rose Bennett01:51 Spring Equinox & Robin’s Personal Haikus03:45 The Healing Power of Herbalism 07:22 The Green Witch of New York23:37 Self-Care and Community27:18 Harnessing Herbs for Healing Habits and Addictions29:28 The Power of Joy and Nature in Overcoming Despair31:45 Embracing Herbal Allies for Vitality and Activism🌼Wondering what medicinal herbs you should grow for your family?Grab this guide, Medicinal Herbs Every Mom Must Know & Grow! You'll learn how to grow them, and how you can use them.
