#064 - The History of Healing | Maia Toll

In this episode, I’m having a conversation with Maia Toll, someone whose work I’ve admired and followed for many years. She is the author of the Wild Wisdom series and The Night School. In our conversation, we dive into the history of healing, the ancient wisdom of our ancestors and where we are today with medicine, both modern and energetic. From science to spirituality to magic, we cover a lot of ground in this lively conversation. Listen in now…

Topics Include:

- Maia's personal journey from illness to her work

- What makes a good and effective healer

- Scientific vs Spiritual healing

- The Three Ancient Medicine Kingdoms

- Energy work for physical healing

- The power of collective unconscious

- How to use rituals

- Cultural shifts in mysticism and healing today

Maia Toll is the award-winning author of the best selling Wild Wisdom Series which has inspired readers worldwide to explore their human nature through the magical lens of the natural world. The seeds for this series were planted when Maia apprenticed with a traditional healer in Ireland where she spent extensive time studying the growing cycles of plants, the alchemy of medicine making, and the psycho-spiritual aspects of healing.

Maia’s latest endeavor, The Night School, explores the edges of the universe and the depths of the self, all through the lens of philosophy, divination, and astrology. She also owns an herb shop called Herbiary, with locations in Asheville, Philadelphia, and online. She lives in Asheville, NC with her partner and two ridiculously spoiled dogs.
