Plants: Food, Medicine, Teacher w/ Yarrow Willard ~ Ep. 30

Yarrow Willard, Clinical/Master Herbalist, co-visionary of the Harmonic Arts Botanical Dispensary and self-proclaimed ‘Herbal Jedi” is this episode’s guest. He joins us to explore the potentials of plants and the natural world in training the material and non-material potentials residing in each of us.

He really blew my mind with his practice around microdosing in the forest and the philosophical basis that informs the practice. I have since been doing this myself more and more. I suppose, as a city guy, something that I can “do” in nature so help me feel more present and purposeful.

Topics explored in the episode include:

how to learn from plants.
microdosing wild plants,
epigenetics and health through the generations,
the role plants play in our material and non-material health,
cultivating biological resilience,
branched polysaccharides and the fungal kingdom,
training the microbiome,
the current state of human domestication and how we can start to free ourselves.
