Plant Intelligence with Patrick Kooyman","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":4166,"description":"Welcome to today's episode with Patrick Kooyman of Blue Lotus Ethnobotanical. Together we explore the enchanting world of plant intelligence, and the importance of forming relationships with the plants we work with. \nWe talk about learning from plants through observation and lived experience, the wisdom held within traditional herbal practices, and the ways modern science is adding to our understanding of plant communication, perception, and intelligence. Rather than placing scientific and traditional perspectives in opposition, we explore how to approach both with curiosity, humility, and respect.\n\nUltimately, this conversation invites you to consider what a relationship with plants can look like, and how reconnecting with them might change the way we understand herbalism, health, and our place in the living world.\nUpcoming Events & Courses\nSomatic Sisterhood Circle\nOctober 27-December 15, Nelson, BC\nSomatic Skills for Health Practitioners: A Nervous System Approach to Healing\nOctober 17 & 18, Victoria, BC\nWild Medicinal Plant Walk\nSeptember 27, Nelson BC\nThe Plant Teachings Collective\nOctober, 2027 - May, 2028, Online \n\nStay in Touch!\nPatrick on Instagram: @bluelotusethnobotanicals\n\nMarie on Instagram: @althaeaherbals\nMarie's Substack: @marieembodied\nBook a somatic therapy and/or herbalism session.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/16OeSih7APzTi-_lmQhtot9EFu4flTrasxFkXa1ExUc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMmJh/ZTlkOTlmYzZhNmQ1/NTdmZWQwODJjNmQ3/OGYzNC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
