Wolf and I explore what it means to care for ourselves while continuing to serve our communities and the wider world.  We talk about burnout, pleasure, distraction, our complicated relationships with screens, and the importance of being fully present for our finite time on this planet.  Wolf also shares why resilience isn't always enough, how seemingly small acts can affect the whole living world, and why our work should remain rooted while still being allowed to branch in new directions. We also discuss the free Herbaria Monthly zine, Wolf's experiences with influential herbalist Michael Moore, and the upcoming Good Medicine Confluence at Ghost Ranch.  Wolf's son Wolfson even joins us for a few especially sweet moments near the end.

LEARN MORE & REGISTER In this episode of The Plant Healer's Path, Jesse Wolf Hardin explores the transformative power of living at the edges. From the sacred, liminal spaces of traditional hedgerows to the outer boundaries of mainstream culture, the edge is where old assumptions dissolve, new possibilities emerge, and meaningful change begins. Jesse reflects on herbalists as edge dwellers, culture shifters, and keepers of traditions increasingly pushed outside conventional healthcare. It's an invitation to embrace the wild, unconventional spirit of plant medicine, plant our insurgent roots, and find purpose, connection, and possibility beyond the accepted center. This audio was extracted from the video version available on the HerbRally YouTube channel. Jesse Wolf Hardin is an impactful author, ecosopher, ecological restorationist, personal counsel, graphic artist, musician, and historian on a mission –– a champion of diversity and what he coined "ReWilding," as well as an impassioned proponent of nature's medicines. Wolf co-founded with Kiva Rose both the international Good Medicine Confluence gathering and Plant Healer Quarterly magazine, and is the author of over 25 books on herbalism, nature connection, and personal realization.   For more information go to PlantHealer.org.
