What if plants carry not only medicine—but consciousness, energy, and deep ancestral wisdom?
In this rich and expansive conversation, Kat Maier, author of Energetic Herbalism: A Guide to Sacred Plant Traditions and founder of Sacred Plant Traditions, invites us into the heart of vitalism and the living intelligence of nature. With over 30 years of clinical herbal practice, Kat shares how plants communicate, how remedies choose us, and how reconnecting with the natural world restores balance on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Drawing from her early work in the Peace Corps in Chile, her training as a Physician’s Assistant, and her lifelong study of global healing traditions, Kat weaves together biomedicine, intuition, vitalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and indigenous teachings.
Highlights include:
• What energetic herbalism really is and why it matters now
• How to choose remedies using intuition and energetic readings
• The vitalist principle of “one remedy at a time”
• How plants guide emotional and spiritual healing
• Acute vs. constitutional treatment in herbalism
• The role of sacred reciprocity and ecological stewardship
• What Kat sees as the future of vitalist herbal practice
A master herbalist, teacher, intuitive, and steward of the plant world, Kat offers a grounded and sacred approach to healing—one that reconnects us with the living field of nature.
