"If you want to have a relationship with the more than human world, you have to spend time in the more than human world." – Mo Judith
This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are once again joined by the Earth-centered herbalist who bottles the alchemical intelligence of plants through the spagyric process, Mo Judith. Join Tommy and Mo for this special PART TWO episode as they expand on:

🎥 Check out Mo's video interview here! - https://youtu.be/4rzvUJmK1c4
Learn more about Mo below! ⬇️
🌿 Maureen (Mo) Judith was raised closely to the natural world and was shaped by the quiet intelligence of plants, ecosystems, and wilderness from an early age. She became a life-long student of nature and an advocate for the rights of nature and the more-than-human world. Mo began to study herbalism in her teenage years, which led her to travel the world at 18 in pursuit of broadening her understanding of life and those who inhabited this earth. Drawn not only to local ecologies but also the ways life expresses itself across the globe, Mo spent around 5 years traveling and hitchhiking around the world, seeking to learn from the Earth and those who still spoke her language. Today, Mo runs Aura La Voura, a project, laboratory, and brand dedicated to alchemical herbalism, spagyrics and right-relationship with the earth. Their work scratches the surface of a new kind of research—one that bridges wisdom and soul with modern science and chemistry. Mo currently donates a portion of profits to foundations dedicated to reforestation and coral rejuvenation. "Aura La Voura aims to contribute to a greater shift—where healing is not just personal, but planetary."
