The healing power of nature with Dutch herbalist Dave Achula

🍀 WYLDE is a collection of episodes in English, where I - Lieve Galle, a Belgian herbalist and wild plant forager since 2002 - talk with fellow herbalists and foragers in Europe. 

Dave Achula is Dutch herbalist and educator with Ugandan roots.
He guides people on medicine walks, teaches the art and craft of herbal medicine, and hosts sacred ceremonies. Everything he does is rooted in the wisdom of ancestral traditions and informed by modern science, with emphasis not only on the medical properties of plants but also the relationships we cultivate with them.
We hope you will feel encouraged to (re)connect with the earth and with yourself through this conversation.

About how Dave's journey into herbalism began.
About feeling a strong connection with the earth and the natural process of transformation, and coming back to yourself.
About having a holistic approach to plant medicine.
About combining Eastern, Western and African herbal medicine practices and traditions.
About why you should connect with plants one by one instead of all at once.
About the time he spent with the Khoi tribe in South Africa and how that influenced his work.
About the comeback of natural medicine within different cultures around the world.
About how we can decolonize the botanical world in a constructive way, and how plants are a great way to learn about history.
About the challenges Dave sees for herbalism in the next 10 to 20 years.

And lots more.
