Ep.76: Karen Rose on Spiritual Herbalism, Ancestral Healing, and Astrology

Karen Rose has dedicated her life’s work to empowering individuals to  reconnect to their own ancestral traditions, rooted in her native land  of Guyana with a dash of desert life from her time in Arizona and her  many years in Brooklyn, NY. Regarded as a Spiritual Herbalist, Karen is  revered for being the first to teach Spiritual Herbalism, plant medicine  deeply rooted in ancestral healing and spiritual consciousness.  Offering guidance to those on the path to finding the truth, she has  trained over 400 herbalists through her Spiritual Herbalism  Apprenticeship program as an act to reclaim their own health and offer  healing to their own communities.  She's recently come out with an amazing new book: The Art & Practice of Spiritual Herbalism: Transform, Heal & Remember with the Power of Plants and Ancestral Medicine. You can find her on IG and at sacredvibeshealing.com

This is a rich conversation. We touched on topics like ancestral  healing, how grief can hang in the lungs, her favorite plants for heart  healing, what spiritual herbalism means to her and what apprenticing  with her may be like. It was an honor and a pleasure to learn about  Karen's life and her work. Enjoy the episode.
