The Plant Path Energetics, Mutual Aid and the Future of Herbalism, an Interview with Kat Maier
Today, I am excited to share with you my interview with Kathleen Maier. She’s a fantastic herbalist who's been at it for quite some time, and I was honored to be able to speak with her.
Here’s what you can look forward to in this interview:
- We discuss Kat’s book, Energetic Herbalism, which covers energetics from a wide range of perspectives and orientations.
- We talk about Kat’s inspirations for the book and some key takeaways from it, including what energetics is, and the uniting principles of energetics that apply cross-culturally worldwide.
- Insights from Kat’s work in clinical herbalism mentoring
- We discuss the transition from being a student herbalist to a practicing herbalist, what holds us back in that transition, and the practical and business aspects of being a clinical herbalist.
- We talk about Kat’s work providing aid and herbal services to people in need, including disaster relief efforts, and how herbalists and companies can provide support to people who need help, which Kat calls “mutual aid.”
We covered a lot of ground, and I hope you’ll enjoy our conversation!

ABOUT THE PLANT PATH
————————————
The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine. With perspectives gleaned from traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Alchemy, Medical Astrology, and traditional cultures from around the world, The Plant Path provides unique insights, skills and strategies for the practice of true holistic herbalism. From clinical to spiritual perspectives, we don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather who they are as intelligent beings, and how we can work with them to heal us physically and consciously evolve.

Sajah Popham is the author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical Western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy.
His mission is to develop a comprehensive approach that balances the science and spirituality of plant medicine, focusing on using plants to heal and rejuvenate the body, clarify the mind, open the heart, and support the development of the soul. This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves.
