Weaving the ancestral thread: How to connect with your womb + herbal healing lineages

Have you explored the herbal lineages of your ancestral lines?Most of us come to plant medicine learning either the plants around us (which is a wonderful way to begin!) or studying a particular tradition (western, Chinese, Ayurveda, or a specific regional medicinal practice). But at this point in history, most of us have become pretty disconnected from our ancestral homelands, especially if we live in industrialized countries full or immigrants, colonists, or a history of forced migration. Because of this, many of us have lost our relationship to our personal ancestral plant traditions, and in that process, completely lost connection to the wisdom from our womb lineages as well. Before the individualized, industrialized, global-centric world we live in today, all of our ancestors had a relationship with plants as both food and medicine. And especially those in our womb lineage would have carried and passed on much of the home and family herbalist traditions, and midwives would have been carrying the wisdom of cycles and seasons of our lives. In simpler words, we all have womb lineages. And those lineages were often medicine carriers.  Your cells hold this memory, and your wombspace does, too.Today's episode offers a glimpse into how you can begin to explore reconnecting to these lost parts of yourself, with your womb and the plants at the center. Listen to learn:why I think herbal medicine is your birthrightabout the co-evolution of plants and peoplehow your womb lineage may have carried plant wisdomsimple ways to learn more about your personal womb lineageideas for connecting with the herbal traditions of your ancestral landsfirst steps on forming a plant ally from your womb lineage landscapeResources:FREE Womb embodiment, clearing + connection meditationEpisode 1: What is womb wisdom?Episode 15: What is a plant ally?
