Plants
The following is a list of some of the plants and trees we work with. While it is not a complete list, it is extensive. The information provided is not intended to diagnose or treat any illness, and it is important to always work with a trained professional.
The qualities described for each plant are archetypal in nature. When working with these plants, individuals may not experience these qualities exactly as described; rather, they serve as broad frameworks. Plants rarely teach in ways that are understood solely by the intellect. Instead, each plant offers an experience that moves beyond rationality and reductionism, into a felt sense of aliveness, gratitude, awe, and humility.
No two people will ever experience a plant in the same way. For this reason, it is essential to work with a skilled guide who can help interpret the medicine and the dreams that arise. Working with these plants is much like learning a new language.
