19. When Plant Spirit Herbalism Meets Science Teacher: Lis Conlon on Sacred Herbalism

Lis Conlon is a deeply experience herbal medicine practitioner and teacher, whose diverse teaching experience spans teaching 5000+ students in Naturopathic colleges about research in evidence based medicine, to facilitating shamanic drum journeys. She emphasises that anyone can have a sacred experience of the plant world, and shares some of the more memorable of these in her life. We talk about her work with Plant Spirit Herbalism founder Pam Montgomery, Lis' own journey with teaching in a herbal institution as well as how she gets her students to begin developing relationships with plants, through growing and tending one single pot plant.  Show Notes: Website: lisconlon.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lis.conlon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisconlon_herbalist/ Find Pam Montgomery's work on Plant Spirit Herbalism here: https://www.plantspiritherbalism.com/ Natasha Myer's epic article on the Planthropocene here: https://www.abc.net.au/religion/natasha-myers-how-to-grow-liveable-worlds:-ten-not-so-easy-step/11906548 Find Monica Gagliano's scientific exploration of plant learning behaviour here: https://www.monicagagliano.com
