Olivia Pepper on Weaving A Reciprocal Human Plant Relationship

Listen Later

This week I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with mystic Oilbhe Pepper, an eclectic magician practicing a variety of blended ancestral traditions as an uninvited guest on Northern Tiwa land. Their land practice and intimate engagement with plants has always inspired me for the last several years and I am thrilled to offer this beautiful conversation of re-envisioning our relationship with land.

In this episode we cover:

  • Olivia’s “unschooled” upbringing and how it influenced their mysticism and work today
  • 3 branches of mysticism - natural intuition, research, and practice
  • What it means to be in right landscape with the land and beginning the decolonizing process
  • Reciprocal and helpful forms of exchange
  • Rethinking invasive species as traveling species that grow where we need them
  • Intuitive and respectful wildcrafting
  • Adjusting our pace alongside disability and chronic illness and how that intersects with working with plants

    • You can connect with Oilbhe via their instagram (@oliviapepper ) where announcements on future offerings are usually made alongside a curation of amazing memes.

    Oilbhe's upcoming workshops are Ancestral Remediation, Rainbow Serpent Dreamwork, some pop-up plant illumination workshops on Datura and Purple Aster, and A Mars Workshop. Follow their instagram for enrollment info!
