EagleSong wasn’t just my first herbal mentor—she’s been the most influential in shaping my journey with plants. Her guidance laid the foundation for what would eventually become LearningHerbs, which is why we’re celebrating our 20th Anniversary with this episode.

Today, we’re exploring hawthorn, a remarkable plant known for its profound support of the heart—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Here’s what we explore:

Hawthorn’s gifts to the heart—its medicinal and emotional benefits, plus how to use it in daily life.
Seasonal practices and plant rituals—how tuning into nature’s cycles helps us build stronger connections with the plants around us.
Humans as keystone species—what this means for the health of our ecosystems and how we can play our part.
Stories and insights from decades of herbal practice—EagleSong shares practical wisdom and inspiring reflections that will deepen your connection with the natural world.
