Plants enChant
Workshops
w/ Morgan Brent
The herbalism we know as a pleasantly quaint country craft, or lately, a more benign form of pharmacy, is far removed from its more perennial form, which runs the pulse of Gaian consciousness, and acts in accord with Nature's corrective influence in the human sphere. This is largely due to the war on Nature which has been waged in its various forms over the centuries, most recently as the ‘war on drugs'. As the rebalancing forces of Creation ease us into a ‘psychedelic renaissance’, we have opportunities to explore and co-create a ...

Plant Teachers, Consciousness, & Medicine
from a Celestial Perspective
channeling w/ Dante Singh
An exploration of plant consciousness, medicine, and the role of teacher plants through the channeling of celestial guides.
Channeling is a phenomena through which a human being enters a state of consciousness that allows a being from a higher dimension to speak through them automatically. A channel or medium attunes their frequency to the energy of beings in non-physical levels of reality, and through this match of frequencies, telepathic communication takes place.
However, you ...
