55. Indigenous Plant Wisdom of Time and Place: Tyson Yunkaporta on Sacred Herbalism

Tyson Yungaporta is a professor of Indigenous Wisdom at Deakin University and in my opinion one of the most exciting minds in Australia today. He blends ecological systems thinking, global indigenous mythological framing and Indigenous Australian wisdom into a compelling and rich reframe for human consciousness. In this interview, Stephanie and Tyson yarn about plants, how to pay attention to what plants tell us about the time, place and season of country, how plants change in response to humans and how to avoid the trap of flights of fantasy in plant communication. SHOWNOTES: Read Tyson's book 'Sand Talk: How Indigenous Wisdom can Save the World' here.
