Thank you for this insightful article. I love your work and am inspired. I have rescued, and now have in my care about 100 or so plants which were not cared for or damaged and have been nursing them back to health. Almost everyone who sees them wants to eat them, or tell me that I should. However, ever since meeting them they have been teaching me already, showing me my old patterns of scarcity, greed, and answering my prayers of healing almost immediately by setting up situations that show me where I am acting unconsiously. I have felt that it's my responsibiltiy to care for these plants and learn with patience. This is the first content that I have come across that is all about respecting the actual plant. So thank you.
David, thank you for this comment - your love for the plants shines through your words. We are glad to be on this journey of connection with you and wish the best to you and your plants this new year!
I would like to thank you for the very thoughtful well written article. I love what you are doing. I find it disturbing when humans think they know better than plants. Huachuma medicine is perfection. Adding other alkaloids to it so someone can make millions through the big pharma apparatus is wrong. People need to get back to plants not more pharmaceuticals. Not only do humans need to look to plants to save us, but looking to indigenous peoples for guidance is imperative. Thanks again for the great article.
So beautifully written…thank you, Laurel and Josip. And you met Monica Gagliano! I love her “Thus Spoke the Plant” book, just referred someone to it today. Shifting from our accustomed human-centric perspective is one of the most fundamental and necessary changes happening in our consciousness now, and you are on the leading edge ♥️🙏🏻
It was such a pleasure to meet you, Laurel, and Josip. You are both literal sunbeams in my mind. Your work and the careful and wise ways in which you communicate your vision is really inspiring and makes me hopeful for this world! Blessings! And I hope to get my hands dirty helping you plant Huachuma soon!

Thank you so much for this, Gerry! Wonderful to meet you as well! Thank you for caring for the plants <3
Laurel! Dang auto correct!
Would love to meet you Laura.
I've only really started my journey with this plant. I've been cultivating a couple plants, and only just got some seeds which I'm starting now.
I've only had San Pedro tea once, it was life changing. Showed me how I was keeping myself disconnected from everything.
Humans really have no idea the power nature holds, this cactus shows what can happen when we tune into a slower pace of life, we thrive.
I really hope more people can grow this plant. To have its spirit walk in your home is life changing. Here's to more sustainable practices!
