In 2024 what does it mean to be in alignment with nature? In a culture that has become so accustomed to hustle, technology, and constant change at an ever-increasing pace, what role does the ancient, subtle wisdom of plants have left to play?

With “plant medicine” taking the personal development world by storm it’s easy to get caught up in the hype of hallucinogenic induced spiritual deep dives into the psyche. As we discuss in this episode with Jordan Mockingbird, a practitioner of the sacred healing arts and steward of shamanic medicine, there are many journeys to connect with the deep wisdom of the universe without using psychedelics or other entheogens. 

By being in ceremony with the plants, trees, and nature that surrounds us, it is possible to face our shadows and embody new aligned ways of being in a grounded, sustainable way. I personally journeyed with Jordan on a 7 day vision quest and I can tell you from personal experience, the technology of the trees is not to be taken lightly. 

From sacred tobacco rituals to ceremonial songs, Jordan is an experienced practitioner who lives and breathes this medicine. If you’re searching to reconnect to the wisdom deep within your soul or you’re struggling to adapt to a culture that has divorced itself from the subtlety of life, feelings, and spirituality, then you’re definitely not going to want to miss this episode!
