S.2 - E.6 - Communion and Self Love with Asia Suler
Summary:
Today I am very honored to interview Asia Suler who currently makes her home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, the ancestral lands of the Cherokee, and some of the most coves on Earth.
Asia Suler is a writer, a trained herbalist, an earth medicine teacher, a medicine maker and a seeker. She is the founder of One Willow Apothecaries, an online gathering place for learning healing and connection with the living world.
She shares with us that she discovered the altar of the green world when she was in the midst of dealing with chronic pain. The pain inside of her was so great that she simply had to go outside. It was in that world that she started to listen to the flowers and hugging the trees and slowly she started to heal on subtle energetic and emotional levels.
Asia is the creator of the Online Intuitive Plant Medicine Course in which she explores Dreamwork – Medicine Making – Earth Ritual – Shamanic Journeying – Flower Essences – Plant Communication – Earth Acupuncture – Land Healing – Creative Channeling.
Asia Suler has been one of my most influential teachers in the last past years and her online course on Intuitive Plant Medicine has made a huge impact in my life. Thank you, Asia.
