Using Our Hearts & Hands as Herbalists w/ Whitney Popham of The School of Evolutionary Herbalism

Join my conversation with the grounded and wise Whitney Popham of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism. Whitney's words are like a breath of fresh air, cutting through the superficial chatter that fills so much of today's spaces. Truly, I invite you to listen deeply to her words. I predict their simple wisdom will become more and more *absolutely essential* and rare, in the days to come.  Whitney desribes a profound moment with motherwort where she knew, "If I want to help the world I have to help myself" and "this (herbalism) is what i'm supposed to do." Whitney shares how her connection to the land as a farmer and grower, and her mothering, syncs her up to her ancestors, the rhythm of the land and an older way of life.  She reminds us the importance of working with our hands as herbalists and how plants connect us to something real, something older. How the more grounded, practical things we can do with our hands will nourish us in ways that looking something up online cannot. She shares how the plants you're taking will reach in and touch you deeply, touch your heart and your mind and cause a ripple effect. Whitney's words are like a warm cup of chamomile tea after a harrowing day of frayed nerves and mishaps. This woman is MEDICINE - and I urge you to listen with your deeper ears to what she is sharing. Then share it with your people.    🌀 DIVE DEEPER w/ WHITNEY & THE SCHOOL OF EVOLUTIONARY HERBALISM  * School of Evolutionary Herbalism Website [https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism], YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/c/SchoolofEvolutionaryHerbalism] * The Plant Path Podcast [https://open.spotify.com/show/1pfggpFHAWLnSrkUxA7H0i?si=18bd79ed5288423e]   🌀 SUPPORT THE HERBS & DREAMS PODCAST - Pledge $5/month [https://herbs-and-dreams.mykajabi.com/offers/GEToptyG/checkout] or Become a Member for $15/month [https://herbs-and-dreams.mykajabi.com/offers/TvGxAVn4/checkout] and receive full access to...   * DREAMWEAVERS: FOUNDATIONS [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/dreamweaving-course] - all audio, on-demand course to learn HOW to weave your lfie with the wisdom of dreams. * HERBAL DREAMERS [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/dreaming-for-herbalists] - all audio, on-demand course for herbalists, healers and spirit workers to learn HOW to bring dreams into their herbalism.    🌀 DIVE DEEPER WITH LAUREN @ HERBSANDDREAMS.COM [http://www.herbsanddreams.com]  * 1:1 Dreamweaving [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/dreamweaving-1] & Mentorship [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/private-learning-with-lauren] * DREAMWEAVERS CIRCLE TEACHER TRAINING [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/dreamweaving-circle-teacher-training] - LIVE online container for those who tend, or want to tend, the SOUL of individuals, community, collective and Mother Earth.  * BOOK: Seasonal Herbalism: The Beginner's Path to Medicine Making and Dreaming with Mother Earth [https://www.amazon.com/Seasonal-Herbalism-Beginners-Medicine-Making-Dreaming/dp/B0D8RST9J2/ref=sr_1_2?crid=TO91HXN0YX0N&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OcROQ-7oCgTtXf-DqCPkhjpq82KsNHcmiw1-pGgh-49By7Z88Cj5cb5nr72ct9yvLz28IIYJbz8ZYalnNQWDV24PqigKNJGlWezEJcxWcUytgPEtSJonRaHVeJsiLoxQJjyr1mWfQtghgvlESVdyqqCrrg8us0AAnCbOLBy_g2c1dCLPcN1HTX81rfKMFU1WV4RQgZSFRR0DCS1oCnEuvapId_jG5oKFmMTt_pkz5S8.Tany0Scjy30ULJ1gJUoYHk8z-zS7qYLXBOE0jSc95Rc&dib_tag=se&keywords=seasonal+herbalism&qid=1747165743&sprefix=seasonal+herbalism%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-2]    🌀ABOUT LAUREN Lauren Morgan is an herbalist, dreamer, Earth-based ceremonialist, mother, author and teacher in the Olympic mountains.

Grow Your Own Medicine: 10 Herbs to Add to Your Garden This Year

Grow your own medicine for home, folk herbal care. Not too many generations ago EVERY home had basic medicine growing in their gardens (gardens include pots on windowsills!). Many people today are intimidated at the idea of growing and making their own medicine - believing it is too hard, or requires an amount of expertise that they don't have access to. But what most don't know is that growing many medicinal herbs is easier than growing most food plants. Because herbs prefer a "wild gardening" approach - their medicine is stronger when they are not pampered. So... you can grow your own!  Here's a list of 10 easy to grow, medicinally versatile to add into your garden this year. Enjoy and thank you for growing medicine for the people!   🌀 SUPPORT THE HERBS & DREAMS PODCAST - Pledge $5/month [https://herbs-and-dreams.mykajabi.com/offers/GEToptyG/checkout] or Become a Member for $15/month [https://herbs-and-dreams.mykajabi.com/offers/TvGxAVn4/checkout] and receive full access to...   * DREAMWEAVERS: FOUNDATIONS [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/dreamweaving-course] - all audio, on-demand course to learn HOW to weave your lfie with the wisdom of dreams. * HERBAL DREAMERS [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/dreaming-for-herbalists] - all audio, on-demand course for herbalists, healers and spirit workers to learn HOW to bring dreams into their herbalism.    🌀 DIVE DEEPER WITH LAUREN @ HERBSANDDREAMS.COM [http://www.herbsanddreams.com]  * 1:1 Dreamweaving [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/dreamweaving-1] & Mentorship [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/private-learning-with-lauren] * DREAMWEAVERS CIRCLE TEACHER TRAINING [https://www.herbsanddreams.com/dreamweaving-circle-teacher-training] - LIVE online container for those who tend, or want to tend, the SOUL of individuals, community, collective and Mother Earth.  * BOOK: Seasonal Herbalism: The Beginner's Path to Medicine Making and Dreaming with Mother Earth [https://www.amazon.com/Seasonal-Herbalism-Beginners-Medicine-Making-Dreaming/dp/B0D8RST9J2/ref=sr_1_2?crid=TO91HXN0YX0N&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OcROQ-7oCgTtXf-DqCPkhjpq82KsNHcmiw1-pGgh-49By7Z88Cj5cb5nr72ct9yvLz28IIYJbz8ZYalnNQWDV24PqigKNJGlWezEJcxWcUytgPEtSJonRaHVeJsiLoxQJjyr1mWfQtghgvlESVdyqqCrrg8us0AAnCbOLBy_g2c1dCLPcN1HTX81rfKMFU1WV4RQgZSFRR0DCS1oCnEuvapId_jG5oKFmMTt_pkz5S8.Tany0Scjy30ULJ1gJUoYHk8z-zS7qYLXBOE0jSc95Rc&dib_tag=se&keywords=seasonal+herbalism&qid=1747165743&sprefix=seasonal+herbalism%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-2]    🌀ABOUT LAUREN Lauren Morgan is an herbalist, dreamer, Earth-based ceremonialist, mother, author and teacher in the Olympic mountains.

OK, So How About Using AI to Interpret Dreams?

The question of AI is touching every corner, every industry, every field of study, every brain... as a dream midwife and ambassador of dreams, I feel it's my duty to share what I'm tracking on the matter of AI and dreaming.  Here are my thoughts. In no particular order this shortie will cover... * How YOU are the authority on YOUR dreams. A reminder to proceed with caution when outsourcing your dreams to anyone/thing outside of yourself - I said this before AI and continue to say it now. The destination of the outsourcing doesn't matter, it's the act of placing your power outside of yourself.  * How dreams are our direct line to our souls... OUR SOULS Y'ALL! This is very, very sacred territory. I extend an invitation to carefully consider who/what we want to invite into our very personal conversation with that connection point. I said this before AI and continue to say it now.  * How we can't outsource anything - including our dreaming and our imagination - without consequence. That's natural law.  * How dreams are evolutionary, cutting edge and emergent - coming to break us, and our world - into new territory. Pulling on already known data might not be the juiciest, most magical, most helpful, most creative source of interpretation.  * How human beings are dreamers. (I admit I have an attachment to us remaining that way.) * How I'm open to being WRONG about all of THIS! We're in crazy times right now y'all.
