Plants + Reciprocal Relationship / Gina Badger - a podcast by Mary Grace Allerdice
from 2020-04-02T05:00
My guest today is Gina Badger, and she is an energetic clinical herbalist. She shares about how to build reciprocal relationships with plants and with the land, particularly as a non-indigenous person. Gina also breaks down what our bodies need right now in light of the pandemic and what plants can be our allies and how we can use them.
We discuss
- Tarot + astrology for the coming week
- How she emerged from working primarily in the art world to the work of a “kitchen witch”
- Her approach + practice to herbalism
- How being a settler is a fundamental orientation to how she relates to the land
- How she thinks about reciprocal relationship to the land in her practice
- Permission + consent in our relationship with plants
- How to do plant meditations
- The experience of dissociation as a coping mechanism
- The diversity of orientations to this moment we’re in and what visions arise
- How her definitions of self care have changed and amplified over the past few weeks
- Her priorities for preventative care right now: staying warm and dry, strengthening deep immunity, antiviral + respiratory support
- The plants that she recommends we interact with right now and how to integrate them in a well-rounded way
- Her time-specific and accessible offerings for right now
- The teaching for this moment from gravel root
