The Wild Woman Within is the Medicine | Kris Haraldson of Thriving Imperfectly

The Wild Woman Within is the Medicine | Kris Haraldson of Thriving Imperfectly

Kris Haraldson is an herbalist, shadow work coach, teacher, healer and general badass who loves helping women wake up to realizing they don't need to be anyone other than who they are. Kris walks us through her early quest to understand stories about women, how we conceptualize ourselves and how we can break free.  Her life has been guided by the questions: * What are the stories we carry and how do they impact us? * How does other people's reaction to our stories impact our sense of self? * What about the stories we inherit from religion, the overculture, etc? Kris was in the throes of studying psychology in a very cerebral academic setting when she started having visions that she had no context for. Sitting in her graduate classes flashes of quietly gathering plant medicines while feeling at peace and connected filled her mind's eye. This eventually lead to Goddess worship which helped her reconstruct an identity of womanhood that included the arts of herbalism, shamanism, energy work and intuitive work. Her experiences blew open her little researcher brain in ways she could not explain.  It rooted her into her body then guided her into the terrain of shadow work.  We also dive deep on: * the shortcomings of identifying with our trauma * the power of medicinal relationships and growing up out of our childhood wounding * how in the midst of an individualist culture, the plants and Mother Earth can fill the communal relational role within our psyches to help us heal. * our favorite herbs to support trauma * how the wild woman shows up in our bodies and menstrual cycles * how when women learn to work with the wild woman aspect of ourselves, our health will change and the world will change  Enjoy my friends!   🌀 DIVE DEEPER w/ KRIS * website : ThrivingImperfectly.com [thrivingimperfectly.com] * email : kris@thrivingimperfectly.com * instagram: Thriving_Impeferfectly [https://www.instagram.com/thriving_imperfectly/] * substack: The Courageous Unbecoming [https://krisharaldsson.substack.com/]   🌀 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.

Beyond Detoxification: The Ancient Art of Herbal Nourishment | Alyssa Mancini of Herbs, Love & Yoga

Join Alyssa Mancini of Herbs, Love and Yoga as we dive into the ancient and nourishing undercurrents beneath herbalism and what it truly means to heal. As a community herbalist apothecary owner, Alyssa has a unique insider's view on the currents in herbal healing and collective consciousness. With so much info out there on herbal medicine right now, Alyssa advises us to instead - go down the path of embodiment. "You could have all the knowledge in the world between your two ears but if you are not actually embodying walking with the plants and trying them - not much of true substance will be gained."  We explore how much of what the holistic healing spaces teach us is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the wise woman way of nourishment is often the answer.    Alyssa and I also explore...  * The ancient magic of the community apothecary * The art and science of holding space with grace and humility, and asking good questions * The mass messages that community herbalists are up against * Alyssa's favorite herbs to open intuition. * The role of ritual in our walk as herbalists.  * Alyssa's go to blend for syncing with the dream space.    🌀 DIVE DEEPER w/ ALYSSA * website : HerbsLoveAndYoga.com [http://www.herbsloveandyoga.com/] * email : info@HerbsLoveAndYoga.com [info@HerbsLoveAndYoga.com] * instagram: instagram.com/herbsloveandyoga/ [https://www.instagram.com/herbsloveandyoga/]   🌀 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.

Using Our Hearts & Hands as Herbalists | 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.
