Plant Medicine For the People, Planet, and Future
While herbal healing has been based in community for millennia, we as a planet are in an era where we need very strong cooperative structures for working together on plant medicine projects in ways that are outside of the capitalistic model. We need to embrace community exchanges with plant medicine, and develop this to continue to be a strong part of our offerings on this land that we call Metta Earth.
This work necessitates community, collaboration, and the collective. It needs to honor those who have stewarded before us, and give back to the ones that sustain it, as well as everyone else. Metta Earth Institute intends to support others in cultivating consciousness in deep reconnection with nature and Earth. MEI programs are essentially designed to be experiences in living, learning, and loving community.
Deepening community involvement and programming with a focus on creating synergy between humans and their landscapes through the science, art, and magic of plant medicine is the intention of all of Metta Earth Herbals’ present and future work.
“It is probable that the next buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and loving-kindness, a community practicing mindful living.”
