About the event
One of the common themes of psychedelic experiences is that of deep interconnectedness with each other, with the Earth, with all Life. Many of the cultures and peoples that have traditionally used psychoactive plant medicines view the human species as an interwoven part of nature, as stewards of balance, rather than disruptors of ecosystems. How can psychedelic experiences along with the wisdom of these cultures guide modern humans in redefining our role on the planet and restoring connection and harmony to our relationship with the Earth? Join educator and plant medicine advocate Mary Olivar as she discusses why consciously cultivating greater natural relatedness can support your health and happiness. You'll also learn tangible ways to effectively work with nature and plant allies to support and deepen your insights, understandings, and expansive experiences.
