HerbRally ODE TO GAIA: Gaian Consciousness for Healers | The Plant Healer's Path Ep. 16
Welcome back to The Plant Healer's Path — teachings, stories, and earth-honoring reflections from author, teacher, and visionary Jesse Wolf Hardin.
In this episode, Wolf explores Gaia consciousness — the ancient, animistic understanding of Earth as a living, breathing, feeling being. Through poetic teaching and grounded reflection, he invites us to consider our place within the greater planetary whole, and how our healing work becomes an act of healing the larger self of Gaia.
