Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Following the Herbal Harvest: An Interview with Ann Armbrecht
Q: What does the typical path look like from farm to supplement bottle, and where are the biggest gaps?
There are two main paths: a well-documented supply chain with certifications and relationships, and a more opaque system where herbs move through open markets with little traceability. The gaps often involve paper trails, fair trade practices, and understanding who is at the source and how workers are treated.
Energetics, Mutual Aid and the Future of Herbalism, an Interview with Kat Maier
Q: What do you think prevents people from actually extending themselves out to be of service to the people in their community?
It's part of what I was saying before, in not having the business skills to stay safe and how to create a practice.
Energetics, Mutual Aid and the Future of Herbalism, an Interview with Kat Maier
Q: Why did you write Energetic Herbalism?
I really wanted to reach low-income folks and urban folks and thought this perspective was needed for the herbal community to understand.
Interview with Pam Montgomery
Q: How do you differentiate what you're getting is actually from the plant versus your own thought?
It's a delicate edge; you need to set your ego aside and use methods like the ping-thud method to discern true messages from plants.
Interview with Pam Montgomery
Q: Can you talk a little about what does Co-Creative Partnership mean?
It's our birthright to be a part of nature, and we have fallen into deep amnesia about our connection with it.
