Welcome to episode 74 of the Nurtured by Nature podcast, today I’m delighted to welcome back Meghan Rhodes, a herbalist based in Yorkshire in the UK. Megan previously joined me for several inspiring conversations in episodes 34 and 60, which I highly recommend if you haven’t listened to them yet.
For Meghan herbal medicine is more than something you simply turn to when you are sick or struggling it has been an invitation to a life that provides a deeper connection to both ourselves, the plants and utlimately the interwoven world around us.
It is through this lens of our deeper connection to nature and the world around us and the wisdom it can provide to help us travel more easily and gently through life that I am excited to share that together we will be bringing you an incredible 4 part series delivered as the season change over the next year. We will be exploring the ways that we can align to a more natural rhythm in our lives by embracing the ancient eight season wheel of the year and the teachings from the plants that can guide us through each turn of the wheel and the cycles of the earth.
In this first part we dive into the current season and as Autumn turns to winter we discuss the influences and ways we can support ourselves from Samhain or Halloween through the Winter Solstice or Yule which marks the rebirth of the sun in the northern hemisphere and the lengthening of days. Think cosy evenings, slowing down and much like the trees drawing back into our roots and using the extended dreamtime to play in the possibilities of the future, whilst also nurturing our bodies with foods and plants that offer us warmth and grounding and support our immune system through this season of rest.
