We have a very special guest who is joining us today all the way from Asheville, North Carolina. She is the author of the best-selling and award-winning Wild Wisdom Series.
The seeds for this series were planted years earlier when she apprenticed with a traditional healer in Ireland, where she spent extensive time studying the growing cycles of plants, the alchemy of medicine making, and the psychology of working with humans and illness. These experiences reawakened an interest in natural philosophy and mysticism which had been a large part of her academic studies at The University of Michigan and New York University.
She has taught Botanical Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, West Chester University, and Pennsylvania Hospital. She regularly teaches at conferences and festivals where she encourages people to use the patterns and metaphors from the natural world to help them understand and grow within their own lives.
This episode, Shannon and Laura talk with Maia about her latest endeavour ‘The Night School’ - exploring the edges of the universe and the depths of the self, all through the lens of philosophy, divination, and astrology…
A beautiful quote from the book:
“magic is everywhere.
To see it and the effects it has on your life, change the way you perceive the world.
To harness it, change the way you interact with the energies around you.
To know it, change the way you think.
To live it, remember the lessons of the Night as you go about your day.”
