HERBS AND DREAMS
Plants generously and regularly visit, teach, and heal us in the night. Not only is dreaming's agenda to wake us up to the broader nature of ourselves... but also to reweave our embodied interconnection with the entire web of life and Dream of Earth herself.
Dreaming is a powerful, natural and in this particular time and place, under-utilized inner technology that is available to everyone. Most of us in modernity have become better at forgetting than remembering, but rest assured - we all dream 4-7 times every night.
By turning towards our dreams, we provide a clear path for the wisdom, healing, and relationship from the plant spirits to more readily flow, broadening the depth of the herbalism we practice.
Herbs and Dreams
We will cover...
- Beliefs about dreams - what they are, where they come from, what to do with them - from sources other than modernity.
- How to cultivate and sustain and rich and soul-filled personal dream practice.
- What to "do" with plant dreams - how to interpret them on the personal and the herbal levels.
- How to weave the messages from the dream world into this one, on behalf of ourselves, those we serve, and all of life.
- How dreaming enhances and deepens our practice as herbalists.
