🔹 The key role bitter herbs play in supporting healthy digestion
🔹 Connecting the health of our gut, brain, and hearts
🔹 The physiology of digestion
🔹 Ancestral wisdom held by bitter plants
🔹 5 bitter herbs to support wellbeing
🔹 Combining warming, nourishing, and moistening herbs with bitters

Plant Relating: Aligning with Plant Spirits and Energetics P2: Activating our Allies: Botanical Remembrance
@berkeleyalembic
Building rapport with plants, and understanding their energetics, has powerful and practical applications. In Part 2, herbalist Rachel Budde expands the conversation to explore how plant relationships can be engaged in specific contexts: personal challenges, creative process, protection, and supporting others in clinical or community practice.

We’ll examine the ethics, energetics, and discernment required when moving from attunement into intentional partnership.

Rachel Budde is an herbalist, teacher, and founder of Fat and the Moon, an herbal body care company based in Grass Valley, CA. Continuing a long legacy of natural healers, Rachel sees topical herbal products as a gateway for profound realizations of the efficacy of plant medicine.

Rachel's work as an herbalist is an extension of her Slovenian heritage. Since 2015, she has been conducting ethnobotanical research on medicinal plants and their traditional folk uses in Slovenia, work that will culminate in a forthcoming book. Along with her studies of herbalism with teachers Aviva Romm, William Morris, and herbalist Joshua Muscat, Rachel is also trained in the somatic psychotherapeutic method Hakomi. She has also trained as a psychedelic guide.

Rachel is presently enrolled in a Master's program in herbal medicine at the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Ethnobotanist Kathleen Harrison serves as her ongoing mentor, guiding Rachel's exploration into ancestral honoring, inter-species relating, and the recognition of psychedelics as a primary route to acknowledging our inextricable interconnectedness.

Weirdos are where the wisdom comes from 🌱 by @zlatababababa

Hey friends, I’ll be teaching TOMORROW at the @berkeleyalembic (the class will also will be streaming live). Check out the links in my stories. So excited to discuss how plants support preparation, navigation and integration of psychedelic experience in order to give consciousness expansion real life traction. by @zlatababababa

States of expanded awareness often reveal the deep interconnection between people and plants, as well as with the environment at large. A plethora of plant allies have traditionally and historically been guides, gatekeepers, protectors and soothers, supporting healing and the expansion of our awareness. Indeed the message of interconnection lies at the heart of the beneficial relationships that so many plant bodies have with our human bodies.
In this workshop, herbalist Rachel Budde will be using the lens of ethnobotany and herbal medicine to reveal the practical use of botanicals in the support of expanded states. This lens includes both the phytochemistry and the plant Spirit component of these botanical allies. This workshop will cover plants that support preparation, protection, and guidance within the psychedelic realms, as well as those that aid the return and, most importantly, the ongoing process of integration.
