There is a shift of consciousness bubbling up in those who are listening… Life as we knew it in the last decades is coming to an end. The great modern healthcare system with its many advancements has somehow left many of us behind, sick and searching. Resources once felt to be endless are dwindling. It is, indeed, a good twenty degrees warmer than usual on this balmy February morning in Northern Appalachia. 

We humans know that we must change. But it is difficult. It is confusing. The path is often not clear. 

With plant medicine and self healing, some clarity begins to arise. Our species once adapted to life on this earth along with the aid and support of many plant species. Much of this knowledge has been lost to individuals. Once passed from generation to generation, the knowledge stopped being used and stopped being shared some time ago in many modern cultures. But if we listen closely, we will hear the whispers of our ancestors, of this good earth, indeed, of the plants themselves.
