In this show, Maria and Lian explored the topic of shamanic journeying, and how it can support us in developing a relationship with nature, especially with the plants around you.

They spoke about the practicality of working shamanically in this way and how it can be used in everyday life to navigate relationships, understand oneself, and live in balance with nature - developing a collaborative relationship with the plants and animals around us.
