Summary

It is our ancestral inheritance to know and work with the plants growing around us. Tending to, nurturing, and gleaning nourishment and medicine from the land is a way of life that is available to us all, and is the most direct path to healing people and ecosystems alike. Let us remember.

IN THE INTRO:

  • Self and community sufficiency, wild foods, & plant friends

IN THE INTERVIEW:

  • The moment you realize that you can interact with the plants around you (and how odd it is that that’s surprising to modern humans)
  • How plants helped Rosalee overcome a terminal and “incurable” autoimmune disease
  • How her doctor reacted when she showed back up after curing herself
  • The many ways to be an herbalist
  • The best way to take herbal medicine isn’t as a tea or tincture, it’s to bring plants into your life
  • Living deeply with the seasons (no matter where you live)
  • Conscious stewardship of the land as an act of community healing
  • Reciprocity and the many ways mindful, informed wildcrafting can support plants and ecosystems
  • Violets! and incorporating story medicine into our medicine making
  • Chickweed! delicious, nutritious pesto, vinegar, and more
  • Foraging makes it so easy to get a much needed diversity of phytonutrients into our bodies
  • Expanding our lens to the wider ecological relationships the plants we are working with are a part of
  • Other ways to bring plants into your life when foraging isn’t possible or of interest
  • What if everyone wildcrafted?
  • We cannot buy ourselves into wellness, but we can nature ourselves there

IN THE OUTRO:

  • A genius way to freeze pesto (it’s not the ice cube tray method)

If we're all all visiting these places, protecting them, taking care of them, nurturing them, and spreading that love, I think we're going to be living in a much different world and a world that's more, more based in sustainability and a lot more resilient.

Magnolia Hill and this is episode 65 with Rosalie de la Fére. That's my

attempt at French I think it was. I apologize to a quarter of my ancestors who are French and to my maternal

grandmother who spoke French as a child for not nailing the pronunciation. I think Rosalie will forgive me.

These are unstabized times, un-stabilized times, and hopefully as we spoke about in the most recent episode with Iana Young, this is a big wake-up call. If you haven't read Charles Eisenstein, my guest on episode 60,

2:07.0

his essay, The Coronation, I strongly recommend you do so. I'll put it in the show notes of course.

2:15.0

There's so much potential right now as you know and that potential comes through on a societal level

2:21.0

when we each as individuals step up, step forward, step into our power,
