'Interspecies Communications'
Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower, R.N., traditionally trained Herbalist, co-founder and director of Plant Pioneers. She teaches an herbal apprentices at Earth School and lay people on wild food foraging relationships where weed plants are recognized for their resilience and are true gifts for every human. Living in reciprocity is a basic fundamental ground. Her philosophy is that by bringing people to the plants, she’s in essence tending to the future of our planet. She says, “There is a global investigation to discover the realm of the outdoors. My purpose thus is to be there for those interested in Natures future. Giving participants the tools to get started is key, but they also get to experience a palpable human-plant exchange. This becomes part of theirfoundation imprinted from their experiences and is an investment for future. Our focus is restorative, rather than consuming. The honing of our senses to remember our roots [the past] and empower us to know how to move forward [the future] to a better way of life for Earth.”
