David Crow: I am David Crow and I am the host of The Future of Plant Medicine Summit. This is my co-host, Adriana Ayales.
Adriana Ayales: Hi, everyone. It’s such a pleasure to be here. This year, we have such an extraordinary lineup of wonderful healers, herbalists, naturopaths, Ayurvedic practitioners, and beyond. It’s going to be brilliant.
David Crow: It is, just like every year, and this is the sixth year that we have done this. As always, we have a lineup that includes many names that people recognize — top herbalists, educators, researchers, and clinicians — but as we do every year, there’s also an opportunity to introduce a lot of new people.
This summit is dedicated to the future of herbal medicine, and so we’re going to be looking not just at all of the medical and clinical kinds of topics that we look at every year where people can get practical information about using botanical medicine for their personal health concerns, but we’re also looking at what is going on in the world of botanical medicine because botanical medicine is linked to ecological health and to climate change and to social and medical conditions that affect everyone.
The future of plant medicine is looking not just at the medical issues, but at a lot of other issues and the relevance of plant medicine into the future. Adriana, maybe you’d like to tell us about some of the special guests that we have.
Adriana Ayales: We have so many wonderful teachers, but just to get a little bit of all the fields that we’re tapping into, we have Rocio Alarcón, a wonderful Ecuadorian shaman, curandera, ritualist medicine maker that speaks on the symbiosis between plants and humans and animals...
Rosita Arvigo, Mayan master, covering symptomologies and diseases within curanderismo, within Mayan medicine specifically... We have the wonderful Christopher Hobbs covering the magical aspects of herbs, including psilocybin, as well as all the other wonderful research, adaptogenic mushrooms, and beyond...
We also have David Winston, of course, K.P. Khalsa, and so many others. Maryam Hasnaa is a wonderful flower essence maker, specifically on psychic energy and knowing how to protect your auric field. We got all of these fields covered, from clinical studies to the wonderful worlds of shamanism.
David Crow: I’ll also mention that we also have several other co-hosts that are going to be doing interviews, so we hope to see you at The Future of Plant Medicine Summit.
