HerbRally

Welcome back to The Plant Healer's Path — teachings, stories, and earth-honoring reflections from author, teacher, and visionary Jesse Wolf Hardin.

In this episode, Wolf explores Gaia consciousness — the ancient, animistic understanding of Earth as a living, breathing, feeling being. Through poetic teaching and grounded reflection, he invites us to consider our place within the greater planetary whole, and how our healing work becomes an act of healing the larger self of Gaia.

This audio was extracted from the beautiful video version available on the HerbRally YouTube channel.

What happens when late-night radio meets folk herbalism? In this episode, I join Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba on Civic Media for a wide-ranging convo about the roots of HerbRally, my personal path, the power of plants, and plenty more.

We recorded this back in February 2025 in Green Bay, WI—and it was a blast. Pete's hilarious, thoughtful, and asked some really great questions. Big thanks to him and producer Konrad for the warm welcome and great vibes.

🎧 If you're curious about herbalism, purpose, or just enjoy hearing how people stumble into their calling... I think you'll dig this one.
