If you’re interested in plants, healing, dreambody revelations, shamanism, and more, this book is for you!
Discover your passion for the natural world and align your life to Mother Nature's rhythms.
What a wonderful book, a jewel of originality among the plethora of herb books lining the bookshelves. As its name implies,
The Herbal Healing Journey is a playbook, a workbook, a guiding light, and a healing journey into the green world.
I found the instructions clearly presented and the many exercises developed to bring one closer in touch with the plant world, intriguing.
I’m looking forward to incorporating several of the techniques described throughout this herbal “Play/Work Book” in my own teachings and classes. Rosemary Gladstar
Rosemary Gladstar is internationally renowned for her technical knowledge and stewardship in the global herbalist community. She has been learning, teaching, and writing about herbs for over 40 years. Rosemary is the author of twelve books.
Don & Rosemary have been friends for over 40 years.
Danger! This book could help you become a wild green person who eats weeds. The exercises are sound and beautiful. Much here for beginners and pros, too.
