Miriam Latif - a curious and cunning herbalist from a medical family - is also a storyteller, cultural explorer and systems thinker. She is interviewed here by Stephanie Hazel, and together they chart the important but often-ignored terrain of invisible narratives that shape the way we think about health and healing. How often do you think about the stories you tell yourself unconsciously? Do these stories actually support an experience of life that is connected, interrelated and inclusive, or do these stories support an obsession with individuality and productivity? What about the stories you tell your clients or your friends and family about health and herbal medicine? These are powerful parts of the healing that can happen with plants, but something we often do entirely unconsciously.

You can also delve into mythopoetic relationships to plants through Stephanie's 6-week Plant Allies course, coming up in March.
