Ash Ritter is a west coast born, desert-dwelling ethnobotanist, educator, writer, multi-disciplinary animist, and poet in disguise as herbalist. For twenty years and counting, Ash continues to reverently devote her life to fungal and botanical studies, encompassing traditional, academic, clinical, and directly relational terrains. Ash's approach places emphasis on plants, fungi, and planet as relations, and is manifested through her practice as fostering engagement with and as the living world, rather than "using" plants as commodities. She counsels and creates in her private practice, Black Sage Botanicals. One-on-one long term apprenticeships are the cornerstone of her training, with a focus in Druid herbalism, clinical botanical medicine, Cali-Mexican curanderismo and MacGuyver-style urban and wilderness first aid. Ash also attended acupressure school, permaculture certification training, and studied journey work with Michael Harner, just to name a few of the adjunct teachings that inform her practice. Her bachelors degree thesis focused on botanical and fungal agents for initiation, and altered states as evolutionary technology. Over the years, Ash’s research has honed in on entheogenic traditions of her ancestry, mainly the folklore, physical, and energetic medicines of Amanita muscaria, and the Solanaceae-laden Flying Ointments of Europe. Ash feels blessed beyond measure to have shadowed naturopathic Dr. Kenneth Proefrock in his office for 2 years upon her relocation to the Sonoran Desert, and almost went to medical school, until coming to recognize the potency of keeping her practice out of bureaucratic matrices. Previously, she apprenticed with history buff and lineage keeper Charles "Doc" Garcia, and worked for several years as a plant-based personal chef, and apothecarist in a bustling California Bay Area clinical herbal practice. Ash currently lives in a century-old gnome house on an old ranch in southern Arizona, and enjoys tracking deer through the spiny brush, sitting with 200-year-old cacti, and waiting for monsoon season thunderstorms as she writes her first book.  Ash is available for: Herbal Consultations, Public + Private Classes, One-on-One Herbal Mentorship Programs, Custom Formulated Apothecary Goods, Herbal Candy of the Month Club, and other unique edible creations.

This Alchemi-Culture Podcast episode features the brilliant Denton Coleman and is one you won't want to miss!

In this episode, take a dive deep into the world of the fascial matrix and how body movements literally translate into medicine. As the transmitter of energy and electrical signals into biological information, fascia contributes to a complex biofield organization for the entire body, even down to the subcellular level. Denton shares his perspective on how the many external mechanical forces that are transmitted through the body are ultimately affecting cellular & DNA function through the fascial matrix. Phoenix and Denton cover many important points during this podcast episode but another highlight is the mention of how trauma(s) get stored in the fascia and the importance of energetic, manual, and movement therapies in full system healing. 

Denton Coleman's unique perspective on the body's fascial system stems from his studies in holistic and energetic medicine, epigenetics, biomechanics, the mechanome, homeopathy, exercise science, and countless hours of independent research. Denton is an Exercise Physiologist and Medical Researcher residing in northern Utah. He currently works in the nutraceutical industry and has spent many years serving as a Holistic Health Coach and Personal Trainer. Denton operates Vanguard Health and Fitness as an online educational resource. With his present research focus in autoimmunity, he is also writing a book on the reversal of insulin-dependent diabetes using functional medicine, which is expected to be finished in early 2024. You can reach Denton via his website or email him directly at [email protected].
