🎉Your REPLAY is ready!! Listening to Plants: Creativity, Resonance & Renewal with Guido Masé
|
Hello Reader, If you missed Listening to Plants: Creativity, Resonance & Renewal with Guido Masé, or want to see it again, the replay is now available! In last night’s webinar, Guido Masè opened our minds to a new way to connect with plants… Plants remind us—gently, persistently—that we're not really in charge at all. Science is beginning to echo this, reconsidering where our thoughts come from, how our behaviors arise, and what we can truly claim as “ours.” And in that reframing, plants stop looking like tools or resources, like substances we simply use. They begin to feel more like companions… directors. Older than us. Wiser than us. Quiet masters of process, shaping patterns, training habits. After all, plants make soil. And maybe that’s part of what herbalism offers us in these wild, disorienting times—not just remedies, but a way of being. Yes, herbs can ease what ails us. But more than that, they teach us how to listen. How to participate. How to tell the story of a changing world. Take yarrow, for instance—how she shifts her colors: white, pink, red, sometimes a soft golden blush. That fluidity is a reminder of our own changing nature, our quiet longing to express all the facets of who we are. While interest in herbs is growing—more teas, more classes, more clinics—our direct relationship with living plants is fading. Less time in forests. Less time in gardens. More capsules, more distance. And that disconnect has consequences. Not just ecological—though biodiversity and traditional knowledge are undeniably at risk—but relational. Because we forget something essential: we are not separate from nature. We never have been.In our modern enthusiasm for herbal medicine, are we missing something? Connection. When we explore how to meet life where it is right now, the gift of tonic herbs brings us back to connection and resilience. 👉 Watch the webinar replay ​ Ready to take a deeper dive into the Gift Cycle, tonic practice, resonance, and 'botanoesis' with Guido Masè as your guide?
