Plant Spirit Medicine includes several offerings: An introductory on-demand online course-Growing Awareness of Nature. designed to give people a direct experience of the aliveness of nature and natures ancestral relationship with humans. Healer Training hybrid course: online and in person courses. Our ancestors lived in this way, where nature was alive and there was no illusion of separation from nature. They had a relationship with the spirits of nature and would call upon them for healing and wisdom. This ancient practice, long forgotten in the modern world, was remembered, revitalized, and reintroduced by Blue Deers Founder, the late teacher and healer, Eliot Cowan, and has proven to be as effective in todays world as in past times.
