“Thank you Melissa! Our herb walk in Foresthill, California turned into a very significant experience for me. Your guidance in the walk and reverence for the plants is so profound, I was able to swiftly follow suite. I felt so welcome walking with you and I felt my own connection to the land and Spirit strengthen.
That day, we met wild St. John’s Wort and an entire Mullein family! As we stood among the great great grandmother Mullein and the tiny baby Mullein, you shared offerings and blessings for the thriving of the ecosystem. You taught me to Listen to the plant and see what parts want to offer themselves for medicine. This guided our gathering.
You spoke of the medicinal potency of the leaves, flowers, and roots.
I gathered from the plant family in the wild habitat, and met life in a new way. The spirit of the plant, and the medicine it holds vitalized my every cell! Amazing Grace!
After we returned from the harvest, I was peering into my basket, and I was brought to tears from the purity of love and life offered from the plant as medicine. My heart, mind, and vision felt completely cleared!
I have since tinctured all that I gathered and it is very potent medicine! I’m so grateful. The gift of walking with you will be with me forever! I hope to join you again one day! Mahalo!”
