EP 71: How to pull yourself up when you are down with High Garden Tea
What do you do when you gotta start all over? Lean into this story and the sweet poetic voice of Leah Larabell to find out.
Leah Larabell is a nature-loving wife, mother and daughter who finds a great deal of purpose and satisfaction in sharing her love for the land.
Leah descended from a long line of Celtic Cunning Folk and has found her ancient gifts within the world of herbalism. After awakening this passion, she became obsessed with learning as much as possible and has dedicated over a decade of her life to rigorously studying and diligently practicing the art of herbalism. She has been taught by renowned herbal elders as well as Mother Nature herself.
As a clinical level herbalist, she considers herself a Western eclectic herbalist and is so grateful to the many plant wisdom keepers from many lands that passed down this art so she may carry it today.
Many experiences over the years have humbled her to consciously removing her ego from the herbal practice. Realizing, it’s not her who offers healing, but the plants who do the good work. Each one bringing some type of special knowledge or ability ready to help if you just know who to ask. With this, Leah never uses plants; instead, she calls upon them, asks for their help, looks toward them for insight, or simply sits by them for companionship.
This approach also allows Leah to offer an easy access point to interested, beginning herbalists. It is her goal to create as many Plantfolk and herbalists possible while on this earth walk.
She is a forever student of the land and eternally grateful for the lessons.
