Such gorgeous medicine, Ben. Deeply resonant in my plant relationship practice and beyond. I literally just sorted and cleared out to too-much-medicine in my apothecary borne of going too fast. I noticed with gratitude that much was bottled a couple of years ago--helping me notice again how I've begun to slow into relationship. Kavanot became part of my broader spiritual practice as I learned of this frame in earth-loving Jewish spaces; it's a blessing to read your weaving of this rich word-frame-shape with your herbalism and feel how it sits cozily in my body. Thank you, and yasher koach <3

Haha I've done that sorting and clearing more times than I'd like to admit! Thanks for the kind words LB.

Delicious- I love this new word you’ve taught me, thank you. As you described, my first years of herb studies were a frantic effort to learn all the things and make all the medicine 😊. This year I’ve settled into a deeper relationship with 3 herbs that I savour. Much more rewarding! I will be adding more Kavanah to more practices.
