41. Attuning Ourselves to Herbs: Stephanie Hazel on Herbal Education The Elder Tree Podcast
-
- Medicine
Stephanie Hazel is a herbalist, anthropologist, teacher and also runs the Sacred Herbalism segment of this podcast!
She has had a broad scope of experience which has lead her to share her embodied teachings about sacred plant medicine both online and in person. Stephanie is dedicated to reawakening in others a sacred relationship with plants, their own bodies and the living world.
In this episode, Stephanie shares her journey of learning with a Peruvian curandera about how to relate to plants in a sacred way and to listen to their wisdom, through learning in an embodied way and doing the hard work of harvesting and preparing the medicine. She shares insight into her influences derived from a long standing personal and professional relationship with Jimi Wollumbin and also with the Happy Herb Company. We discuss embodied learning environments rather than rote learning environments.
She shares her wisdom about always coming back to listening to the plants and attuning to their message, prioritising them as living beings rather than as a commodity. She compares this to the scientific perspective of plants, which percieves plants as inert and just a thing to be dissected.
We discuss the importance of bioregional medicine and paying attention to how plants interact in their environment and learning what that can show about the plant's medicinal benefit. This and so much more is uncovered in this wonderful episode. Listen on to find out more!
