Tales from the
Medicine Path
The medicine path is a way of life
It is about living in alignment with the lessons received from the medicines and putting what we have learned into practice. Living from the heart is the biggest gift we can give to ourselves and the world.
In this section
We will share different pieces every month covering participant stories, interviews with medicine men and women, indigenous myths and legends, information about plant medicine, medicine music, and any other noteworthy teachings and learnings from the medicine path. Aho!
