Trees have been at the center of our spiritual practice as land-based people since time immemorial. They are our elders, our ancients, the source point for so much of our ritual. And in this episode, I wanted to respond to a voice message I received asking me to speak to the medicine of trees—because so much magic can be rediscovered just by connecting to the tree realm.

I share some of my favorite facts about trees and tree consciousness, including why tree medicine is really the medicine of humanity. And I drop into a recording I made several years ago about three tree rituals for a rich life—rituals I still practice today, rituals that I think are at the very heart of what it means to live on this planet.
