Medicine Journeys in Nature

When we take medicine journeys into nature, healing happens not just through the medicine itself, but through direct contact with life. The texture of the grass underneath you, the sound of wind moving through the trees, the steady solidity of the earth holding your body—these experiences remind us that we belong here. In nature, the sense of separation softens. We feel interconnected with something larger, supported not only by the medicine, but by the same life force that created the medicine, the land, and us.

Nature also offers quiet teachings about how to be. The grounded serenity of redwood trees, the way the ocean yields and moves without resistance, the deep peace of a quiet forest—each holds a mirror for change. When we do medicine work in nature, we can feel the support of the land, the ancestors of the land, and the subtle intelligence of plant energies. There is rest in remembering that we are held by something bigger than ourselves, and healing in knowing we were never truly alone.
