Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

175. The Value of Letting Ourselves Surrender: Deanne Apostolou on Self Care with Herbs
Q: What does self-care mean to you now, and how has that definition evolved over time?
Self-care is about small, sustainable routines—like daily walks, time in nature, and shared moments with loved ones—that adapt as life changes, with an emphasis on listening to the body's signals and prioritizing well-being.
175. The Value of Letting Ourselves Surrender: Deanne Apostolou on Self Care with Herbs
Q: What's your story, Dee? Where did you first start to connect with plant medicines and herbs?
Dee describes starting in beauty therapy, moving into natural medicine, studying at Newcastle College of Herbal Medicine, and finding education and mentorship pivotal to her journey into herbal practice.
170. Elderflower, Burdock and Initiation: Matthew Wood on Sacred Herbalism
Q: What is the initiation concept in relation to Yarrow and other plants, and how might it manifest for a practitioner?
Initiation is a real, slowly unfolding process where the plant acts as a teacher or guide, possibly conveyed through dreams or deeper relational work with the plant; it implies a shift in perception and responsibility for herbal practice that develops over time rather than a single event.
171. Introspection and reflection: Kerri Alexander on Self Care with Herbs
Q: Do you have a special recipe or ritual using plant medicine for self-care that you'd like to share?
Her preferred ritual is a herbal bath, sometimes a garden tea bath, incorporating available plants or dried flowers, and sometimes adding flower essences or floraes to enhance the experience.
171. Introspection and reflection: Kerri Alexander on Self Care with Herbs
Q: And I'd really love to know, Kerri, how did your relationship with plant medicine begin?
Kerri recalls beginning to make medicine as a child, growing up in a garden and experimenting with plants, which laid the foundation for her lifelong interest in plant-based healing.
