This episode is the beginning of a new series called Devotional Mysticism and Plant Teachers. In this space, we'll be exploring the rich history of plants, their connection to ancient and modern mystic traditions, their inclusion in myths sacred texts, and their use as spiritual aides in ceremony. And in modern practice, our hope is to inspire our listeners to see the plant world with a greater sense of wonder and reverence and inspire a greater love, gratitude, care, and compassion for these plants and also for our own journey.
