David Winston | Voices of Our Herbal Elders Ep. 1

[@missclover7781]

I love David and Rosemary! I really like what he said at 54:00

[@patricewilliams4278]

Aaawww, two of my favorite teachers on the planet 🌿💚🌿 My apprenticeship with Rosemary...many decades of David's classes at the IHS and Green Nations...the best part of my life & I never looked back. My cup runneth over because of you all and the plant world...I was called a witch by the neighborhood kids when I was about 9!!! I was somehow proud of it and guess most people would've been offended by that!! Blessings to you both...and all your peers that gave so freely to us all 💚🌿💚

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

Patrice, I can so relate. With my long dark hair, a rather long nose and even a small wart growing on my chin (!!), I too was sometimes called a 'little witch'. But I always took it as a compliement somehow. It wasn't until years later that I learnt that witch was an old wood for 'wise woman' or crone. We are in good company!!!

[@The_WeedWitch]

I really appreciated the recipe buried in there to help with sadness ❤

[@kimberlystevens886]

This was a wonderful inner-view! I so enjoyed hearing these stories and am glad that they have been captured for posterity. Looking forward to the next episode!...

[@jeanmccabeCA]

Thank you for doing these interviews it’s wonderful to here from the Elders..❤ wonderful to hear them talk about the plants of the earth ❤

[@bernisgarden]

Thank you fir sharing this

[@patricialyons491]

I'm also most grateful for having landed on this talk with David Winston with Rosemary today. I'm so inspired & heartened to further study, use & promote the accessability & combining of plant medicine into so much more of a sustainable system for our planet her peoples. Beautiful talk & much respect to you both! 💓

[@jeanmccabeCA]

@@bernisgarden you are welcome ❤

[@bernisgarden]

This was such a delightful presentation. Loved how the plants spoke to him. I will try the nettle seeds next growing season. Thank you ❤️

[@RILAKAVA]

Beautiful. I am thankful to be here too. 🌸❤️🌸

[@riverdalepark]

Loved this so much. I could listen to Rosemary and David all day long. I loved David's childhood story about Euell Gibbon's books. I'm in the same generation so Stalking the Wild Asparagus and Stalking the Healthful Herbs were the books that first got me started in turning that green forest wall into individual friends for life. (Remember, in the olden days, Euell used to do a TV commercial for Grapenuts. LOL the commercial ended with him saying "Kind of reminds me of wild hickory nuts."). Thank you Rosemary for starting this wonderful series. I can't wait for the next episode. You are definitely the Fairy Godmother of Modern Herbalism for me.

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

Oh, goodness, I never saw that commericial, but would love to!!! I never had the good fortune to meet Euell, but his books were among my earliest favorites. Sounds like we were all out 'stalking the wild asparagus', nettle and dandelion together! Surprised we never stumbled into each other on the trail!

[@herbalacademy]

This is a lovely and special series, friends - thank you! 🌿

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

Thank you so much, friends at the Herbal Academy. Thank you for all the good work you do!!! You are helping to spread the seeds!!!

[@shirleygriffin7672]

Excellent

[@christylaughter1568]

Rosemary, I've been following you for years, like pre Internet/KZbin (I am 43) and have somehow just come across this channel. THIS. Bringing God into this practice - it's more than just books and reading, it's talking with the plants and connecting to ther person... Another life-giving gift connecting us all.

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

Hi, Christy, so good to hear from you. Yes, its so much MORE, more than we even know....

[@Heather.C.ButterflySage]

Wonderful conversation! Yes, she's the Fairy Godmother of the Modern Herbalism Movement 💗Blessings to our herbal teachers! And all who are called to the herbs.

[@khaas1658]

I have to say this was my favorite interview . I listened 3 times. Thank you both for sharing your lives.

[@recorder71]

This was absolutely fantastic!

[@kathyplaza9883]

I'll never forget the time David was drumming on the big circle drum for us at one of our classes where he was our lecturer. He was really putting his heart and soul into it when all the sudden the drumstick tip broke through the skin of the drum! I can still see the look on David's face as we all sat there stunned! I miss you both! All my love from Kathy de Plaza

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

Kathy, how lovely to hear from you!!!! I remember that moment, too. It was our big Mother Drum, and David felt so badly about it. But it was like the drum was dancing so loudly and clearly. It was a magical moment. We did get the drum repaired and it lives still at Sage Mountain..

[@kathyplaza9883]

@@rosemarygladstar7436 so many fond memories of the moments I spent with you and Robert and the awesome plant people of Sage Mountain

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

Kathy, fond memories of you, as well. Those were some magical times, for sure!!! Such a celebration of plants and life. @@kathyplaza9883

[@KS-ys8vu]

This man is amazing. I’m just starting out in this herbal journey. And I’m awed.

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

Yes, I so agree. David is quite amazing. You might enjoy reading his Adaptogen book. Its one of my favorite herbals , so informative, well reserached, and so easy to read and digest. The Adaptogens herbs are a good group of herbs for beginners to start their studies with.

[@jeanneamato8278]

Bless you both. I will never stop learning from you. My husband and I bought a 1790s house 36 years ago so I decided to plant a colonial kitchen/ herb garden. I studied what was used back then and was so enthralled, that I kept planting and learning. There’s such wonderful energy on our 6 1/2 acre plot. It’s in the midst of an Audubon bird sanctuary. So I started learning about birds and everything else I could. I started life lists, herbariums, and almanacs to show daily high and low temps, weather, wildlife and when plants came up. I learned more than 25 years ago that the sun was getting hotter and droughts were more often. I have always followed Rosemary and honored to have met you at the International Herb Symposiums.

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

Sounds like a simply stunning place. I'd love to visit someday.....

[@ninaneenee3502]

[@rhondapallasdowney2714]

What a beautifully inspiring presentation by both Rosemary and David! Loved hearing about David's childhood and exploration into plants, and how he evolved as an herbal practitioner...great stories about people and plants, both as teachers. Thanks so much for sharing! I look forward to more! With gratitude!

[@amandataylor2075]

Thank you both so much for all this wonderful knowledge. It is truly truly appreciated. Herbalism is a new passion of mine and after listening to this I felt a deeper calling. I believe this is my new purpose. I am so motivated to learn more. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@Elletaria-t5s]

I learned so much and am so grateful! 🌸💚 Thankyou!!! Rosemary and David and all who brought this inner view forth. Thankyou to the plants and I will look for the wave! 💚🌸🌿☘️🌻🌈

[@KathyWagner-y7k]

So agree with David that Rosemary is the Fairy Godmother of Herbal Studies!!!! Love this opportunity.

[@joannegratton491]

God gave herbs for the service of man Amen thank you Lord.

[@lmurphy9382]

Beautiful presentation! Informative entertaining and inspiring. Thank you so much. I hope there are many more.

[@cynthiatalbert3037]

That was amazing! Thank you Rosemary and David. 🌿💚🌙

[@deborahmcsweeney3349]

So beautiful!!

[@co6881]

So precious to hear two amazing herbal elders share stories. History in the making. Characteristic of Rosemary, gently entertaining and hugely informative at the same time. Thanks Rosemary, David Winston and everyone who made this series possible.

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

Thank you for these kind words. I'm over joyed that so many people are enjoying these 'inner views' as I am loving doing them. I have a long list still to do.... and the list keeps growng as we keep getting older!

[@viviankeh441]

Feeling SO affirmed and inspired by this talk, and was surprised at how emotional I was throughout. Seeing the love, humor, and passion the plants themselves continue to bring out in the both of you, and how engaged you are in bettering our world is such a gift.

[@jeaninegibbonsart2939]

Wonderful to have found your videos. I am new to herbalism and love every chance to learn from you particularly the energetics and spiritual guidance plants themselves offer. Thankyou ❤

[@jordana99]

He is such a great interview subject! I so much enjoyed your chat.

[@rosemarygladstar.official]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

wonderful. Yes, David is brilliant and so so fascinating. There's a reason I started with him!!!

[@felixeile]

Wow!

[@6140970]

David your early years as a child being introduced to the plant kingdom is my story also, except my introduction was more the early 60's. I got to the point of relaxing and centering myself, that I would ask where the plant was or which one was needed and they would guide me to the right one. I marvel so much in the medicines that mother earth has to teach us. You just have to listen. Thanks for sharing

[@StevieWonders2020]

Enjoyed this interview very much. I do wish that somehow the interviewees or Rosemary could provide in the notes 1) The Latin names of mentioned plants [for instance, I've driven myself mad trying to find Holy Basil seeds; I also have grown Temperate Tulsi, believing it was the medicinal tulsi 2) Sources for seeds in particular [I have an herbal garden of some size] and other forms of plant materials for herbal practice [I do know and use Mountain Rose]. Thank you.

[@pausemental]

Before he said wood sorrel, I KNEW IT WAS WOOD SORREL TOO., I used to suck on them as a little girl!!

[@rosemarygladstar7436]

awesome!!!! I think many of us are introduced to this sour little tasty plant as children.

[@catherinemallard4517]

Hi Rosemary! this was a wonderful interview! I really need the recipe using the mimosa bark, hawthorne flowers/berries. I have tried to find it on line with no luck...do have a suggestion ?

[@tiarianamanna973]

Absolutely fantastic stories 🤩🥰 thank you so much, you both are Great Teachers 😇💖

[@finneywinkle]

Just wondering if you can help someone with multiple sclerosis

[@tiarianamanna973]

It is possible 👍 if i was you, id look into following herbs, healing modalities and/or teachers: -lions mane -donna eden (healed herself of advanced ms) -homeopathy -detox, low vitamin a diet, dr garrett smith -irene lyon (expert on healing nervous system) ❤

[@sewlady003]

I saw Dr. Patrick Jones mention helping a lady with MS. Not sure but it may have been on his video about Teasel.

[@deannehammer2009]

Can someone please share with me the name of the Chinese adaptagen that David mentioned? 🙏

[@wendypoginy4972]

Sadly I never got to complete the herbal courses I enrolled in.

[@jeannewton1706]

So can I give my dog that has kidney problems nettle tincture/tea to help. Also would it be okay to give as a preventive for my other dog who is on medication that can harm the kidneys?
