Plant Guides for Exploring the Liminal with Rachel Budde

Bringing the unconscious into the conscious is key to healing from trauma, destructive patterns, and for leading a more intentional life. Opening to the unconscious can also bring us great insights, and fertilize our creativity. In this class, herbalist Rachel Budde will explore herbal medicine as so much more than cures for illnesses of the body. We can collaborate with the energetics of plants to gain deeper insight into what propels us, yet lies under our immediate awareness. This class will be part discussion, and part experiential, and will delve into the magic of plants to employ their aid to enter and reclaim our inner worlds.

Rachel's work as an herbalist is an extension of her Slovenian heritage. Since 2015, she has been conducting ethnobotanical research on medicinal plants and their traditional, folk uses in Slovenia which will culminate in her upcoming book. Along with her studies of herbalism, Rachel is also trained in the somatic psychotherapeutic method, Hakomi. She is also trained as a psychedelic guide. Rachel is presently enrolled in a Master's program in herbal medicine at the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Ethnobotanist Kathleen Harrison serves as her ongoing mentor, guiding Rachel's exploration into ancestral honoring, inter-species relating, and redefining the primary significance of psychedelics as acknowledging our inextricable interconnectedness. Rachel has taught herbal medicine around the country, from beginner to advanced. You can follow her work @zlatababababa, @fatandthemoon
