Flower Essence Shamanism with Gina Kearney

Nettle Returns Your Edge After Staying Small

Nettle is a plant of boundary, nourishment, and unmistakable edge. In this episode, we’ll explore how she returns us to ourselves when survival has taught us to stay small. Nettle arrives as a plant who knows exactly where she stands. She stings because she has an edge.She has an edge because she is alive. Nettle teaches that boundaries are clarity. A visible expression of a sacred, held container of self. We’ll explore boundaries as a felt sensation and engage in a guided practice to feel and define the edge of your field from within. I hope you enjoy this reflection with Nettle and come to know her deep within your heart. ~~~~~~ Hi, I’m Gina Kearney, a Registered Herbalist, flower essence and shamanic practitioner, walking a life shaped by plants, nature, and the the divine wisdom within.

Herbalism lives in our everyday rhythm

Herbalism isn’t something you add to your life.It isn’t another skill, protocol, or body of information to stack on top of everything else.Herbalism is something you live from. The truth is, you become an herbalist by living your life differently - by slowing down and learning to listen, by letting the plants shape the way you move in the world. ‘The herbalist’ is something you remember.In this podcast, I share a relationship-based approach to herbalism — one rooted in everyday rhythm, slow learning, and lived experience with plants. This podcast is for women who feel the quiet pull toward plants, who sense there is something deeper to be found in nature, and who want to move beyond surface-level herbal knowledge into embodied wisdom. ----------------------- Hi, I’m Gina, a Registered Herbalist and guide, walking a life shaped by plants, nature, and the remembering of inner wisdom.
