It's incredible how much language shapes our relationships with....well, just about everything.
Indigenous Human languages of all continents have, and continue to include entire concepts of Earth and the Plant Nations which have been (purposefully?) excluded from Latin, Greek, and their many derivatives.
Earth remembers, speaking those memories to us as we sit on the land. The lanuages we can hear her in matters, and shapes our aptittude.
As an Herbalist, I have spent long Seasons exploring the limits of the colonized places inside my mind regarding relationships with members of the Plant Nations, and what little knowledge of them I've been able to pick up along the way.
Through teaching events in the US, Canada, and Europe I have consistently received the same feedback --> Plant People everywhere are yearning to remember the wisdom of Herbalism which cannot be found in modern syntax. Calling it 'Holistic' does not negate the fact that we are learning about living beings through languages which refer to them as dead.
Having the opportunity to share information about diagnotics, and disease, and treatments in modern cultures where it is not political and polarizing to consider all spokes of the medicine wheels currently available.
It feels so right to be offering our Advanced Clinical & Field Herbalism Skills Immersion Retreat within Shipibo territory (the Amazon) of Calleria, Peru. The Indigenous Nations located within the Ucayali region of Peru carry and practice ways of relating with the Plant Nations which are thousands of years old -> and are largely still in tact.
