Sacred Plant Medicine:
The Secret Teachings of Plants
(4-Week Online Series)
August 7 - 28, 2024
Remembering The Plant Path
“One of our greatest fears is to eat the wildness of the world.”
Our mothers intuitively understood something essential: the green is poisonous to civilization. If we eat the wild, it begins to work inside us, altering us, changing us. Soon, if we eat too much, we will no longer fit the suit that has been made for us. Our hair will begin to grow long and ragged.
Our gait and how we hold our body will change. A wild light begins to gleam in our eyes. Our words start to sound strange, nonlinear, emotional, impractical, and poetic.
Once we have tasted this wildness, we begin to hunger for a food long denied us, and the more we eat of it, the more we will awaken.
- Stephen Harrod Buhner
