We played with plants, and sat in trance, we healed and wholed and crafted many medicines along the slow walk home. Music by @elijah_kindred

In our spare time we here at EntheoBotanica are obsessed with music. Both Elijah and myself are performing artists and song writers. The realm is music is actually quite connected to the realm of plants. In ceremonial settings the icaros (plant songs) are used for healing; sung unto the body and mind to bring the plant's medicine into the physical body, invoking plants as teachers and doctors. Once songs were traded as a currency. To know a plant song was to be deep in relation to that plant, and it was traded from healer to healer as a high value sort after 'thing' by healers. The same creative lateral neural networking that taps Polyrhythmic beats, that is able to hold a space of flow and focus when dealing with matters of health, sickness and medicine. It is also the same left hemisphere listening that is able to hear the lyrics to a song travelling earth side, that hears the voice of Pacha Mamma in her soils, leaves, flower and roots. The song of the Earth, the song of the plants, and the song of sweet music are actually all the same one song, the one verse, the uni-verse. Elijah Kindred is not only excellent at creating functional systems in our business, tending to orders, postage and pressing herbs - but he is a musician and sound scape artist. Recently he played a sound healing to a story telling of IRON JOHN at Alternatives Bookstore, Bellingen.

The Ginkgo leaves are falling. As the fire of the sun moves further away, the fire in our bellies must increase. The world is inviting in more internal warmth through blood circulation & digestion to ensure we stay toasty, clear, warm hearted, healthy and kind over the contractive time of winter that is phasing in. I love how foraging invites in deep listening to the bounty of the land. I love how foraging reminds us that 'WHEN IT'S ON IT'S ON!' - To stop and enjoy the moment right now that is overflowing with abundance, but only available briefly in this way. Life is inherently abundant briefly, then all fields must go fallow for recovery. Thank you to Gumbaynggirr country for sharing your cultivated and cared for Ginkgo medicine for our Winter teas. #ginkgo #wildforaged #herbalmedicine #entheobotanica #rebelherbal

Can't wait to see what the fruits look like! #elliptica #iboga #eboka #entheobotainca

I'm looking forward to sharing more about plants and stages of development at HERBFEST 2026 - June 14th Coolum / Sunshine Coast. I'll also be sharing some music 🙂 As we grow and develop we move through important milestones and at each step along the way, there are plants that show up to help navigate those changes. Just as our human civilisation has grown through many epochs and iterations where different plants shepherded us as major instigators of progress and celebration - so do plants show up for us individually at meaningful moments. #entheobotanica #rebelherbal #herbalwisdom #folkknowledge

The most perfect sunday! #valerian #goldenrod #sourdough #foraging #entheobotanica
