HERBS (Herbs with Erin - Remedies for Body and Spirit)Episode 24: Connecting with Plants (part 1 of 5)Modern society generally does not see plants as beings, nor does it acknowledge nature as a living entity. This creates many problems for people, communities, and nature. Changing this dynamic has the capacity to shift our narrow perspective of how the world functions and how communities interact. First step to connecting with plants - AWARENESS - plants aren’t just a backdrop to the screenplay of life.
