In this enlightening episode of “Voices of our Herbal Elders,” I dive deep into the heart of herbalism with the legendary Brigitte Mars. Brigitte, an author and educator with a legacy woven into the very roots of the herbal community, shares her profound connection with nature and healing.<\/p>

From her unique experiences with psychedelics to her advocacy for cannabis and her service as a psychedelic sitter and an end-of-life doula, Brigitte’s journey is as diverse as the flora she cherishes. Her reflections on a childhood shaped by the disciplined environment of a boarding school bring a deep understanding of how our earliest interactions with the world influence our healing paths. This interview is not just a conversation; it’s an exploration of a life lived in deep symbiosis with the earth and its ancient wisdom.<\/p>

    \n\t\t\t\t\"The healing of our planet coincides with the healing of humanity. And when our planet is sick, humanity's sick. And so you can't really be an herbalist without really being a steward.\" \t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
