BTW 25: Herbal and Spiritual Support for 2020 with Melanie Griffin

Join herbalist, artist and comedian Melanie Griffin, and host Amanda Yates Garcia, as they discuss spiritual and herbal means for coping with the stress of 2020. This episode covers a lot of ground, ranging from overcoming the militaristic medical complex, to working with herbs to ameliorate depression. Plants are not just resources to exploit but beings to establish relationships with. Our spiritual practices connecting with the plant world can be a lifeline in troubled times. We talk about specific herbs you can work with to cope with stress, depression and frayed nerves, and other ways, besides ingesting them, to work with plants. Plant work is ancestral work, join us and find out why. ********************************** UPCOMING WORKSHOPS Candle Magic Workshop - Download Available 8/13/20 Whether or not you “believe” in magic, candle rituals are a great way to focus your intention, shift your mood and connect to your sacred practices.
