Paul Stamets, Katsi Cook and Jeffrey Bronfman - Plant Sacraments and the Mind of Nature | Bioneers

Can plants help people access the intelligence in nature-the “mind of nature”-that we must learn to understand in order to supersede our ecologically destructive habits? This panel features Jeffrey Bronfman, founding member of the União do Vegetal church of the United States; Paul Stamets, master mycologist; Katsi Cook, renowned Mohawk midwife and environmental activist. Hosted by J.P. Harpignies, Bioneers Associate Producer.
This panel took place at the 2014 Bioneers Annual Conference. Video shot and edited by Bjarni Thor Haraldsson.
Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.
To experience talks like this, please join us at the Bioneers National Conference each October, and regional Bioneers Resilient Community Network gatherings held nationwide throughout the year.

I am a woman of Nordic paganism. I cried when Katsi Cook spoke about her experience at about 40 minutes in, about a midwife experience. I have lost a child, and I also know more about spiritual being through my experiences. She hit on a missing spot within my belief system, one where the women have lost their ways to connect with one another in such a beautiful way. A healing way. I am grateful for this video, and the time she gave to make this possible, so that I may watch it now. Thank you all for your stories, however I'd love to thank Katsi for her story.

[@BrianWilkesMedia]

Katsi Cook is well known to Native Healers.

[@buffy377]

I started as a Wiccan, merged in with new age Paganism and I was still searching and seeking. Rejected by my pagan community and deemed as "too much" I found paganism was lacking in that unity of the women. Still in the so called "spiritual" community there was still bad negative things going on. I still had this nagging feeling of something more, something so much more getter then myself. Then NODAPL came and with a gut wrenching pain and knowing I knew that the connection to all the people who came together to fight for Indigenous rights was were my passion burned the brightest. The sacredness of this land is beyond words, it is so overwhelming that sometimes I can't breath. I am disabled but I do as much as I can with what I am blessed with. Still searching, still seeking the ceremonies, my teacher and the ways of how to heal myself and others. If anyone can help point me in the right direction for the teacher my heart longs for please message me. In Blessings and prayer.

[@TheChadPad]

@@buffy377 Learn from the wise men of old, and you will find your own way forward. Be the change in your own community that you would like to see, in as much ability as you can being disabled. Maybe mushrooms can help you heal, as they did with Paul. Read the bible, but beware the church. Read all the holy books, but beware the doctrine. Read into yourself, but beware the ego. Always trust your instincts and believe in yourself, and you will find what you're looking for

Her story tore me apart. So real, and yet dealing with the Real in a way that is healing, because it is wholesome.

[@dreamer097]

@@buffy377 assuming you are European, it's important to recognize that you must connect with your own ancestral knowledge. You are an echo of their essence. What is lost can still be found, but only from within. The bad vibes you noticed in similar seekers was probably their failure to be authentic and earnest. Too often people are more concerned with having the appearance of wisdom than actually having it. They use it as social currency and signal their group status with clothing and empty rituals. Ironically, in searching for authenticity, white people end up appropriating the visuals and ideologies of other cultures instead of aligning with what's true to themselves. Don't emulate other people's mysticism. Regenerate your own. It will look similar because the source is universal, but the method of access must be genuine if it is to 🐻 🍑.

I have always believed that the cure for all problems are grown into our world

[@Jefferdaughter]

+TrueBlueSue49 You have good instincts. 'Western reductionism' has convinced most of us in so-called first world countries that humans are somehow separate from, and superior to, the natural world. Even the observations and words of the insightful have been twisted to support the notion that humans can- and should- fight against nature, dominate it, and this will make us more human (?!) and make our lives somehow better. ('Better living through chemistry.' Science will save us all- through nuclear energy... or whatever.) The real mystery is how in the world did humans ever become so thoroughly convinced that the very network of life that gave rise to our own life was somehow against us? Or that it would not contain *everything* we need to- not just survive- but to THRIVE? Don't we know that elephants thrive in their natural habitiat? Tigers in theirs. And whales in the (unpolluted, un-depleated, quiet) oceans? But somehow humans were not supposed to be able to thrive through natural interactions with their habitat? Stay True, Sue!

[@maciej.ratajczak]

Psychedelics can be used both 'recreationally' or 'sacramentally' ('spiritually'). When young people start in the West, they often do it with friends and music, in clubs and at parties, and marvel at the somewhat more superficial aspects of the perceptive distortions. This is recreational use. A more sacramental use is when one takes the psychedelic alone, or possibly with a passive trip sitter, in silence and, often, in darkness or with a sleep mask and typically remains motionless; this method allows one to focus much more intently on the message, without visual, audible or tactile distractions. There are intelligent plants, and there are sacred, sacramental plants, plants with superior intelligence; just like in the animal kingdom with lower and higher orders.

I just practiced ten minutes of Qigong after ingesting American Ginseng Root. I have found that practicing 3 foot stick out on my porch actually works better than the Qigong. I think it is because this practice moves Chi through the hands so well. Also, my specialized footwork is good for root. I want to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine so I can learn more about how Chi works. I've been practicing Silat and Escrima since 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi since 2008. I like practicing slow twisting and circling steps with blades. It nourishes my brain and I circulate my chi to stay healthy and massage my internal organs to stay soft and limber. The first thing I would teach someone is how to relax and root and circulate Qi. After relaxing, someone can learn basic Gong Fu!

The earth has given us all the resources to live the comfortable lives we do, but we just needed to do things naturally. We need to find that moment in history that we started doing the wrong things and when we let tyrants blind us with honeyed words and a promise of better health for the greater good only to stab us in the back and we always fall for it, and write it all off as history and finally learn from it.

I told them 139 and they said that might be enough. so I ate them all. oh boy, it seemed like i could know what people standing behind me were thinking, amongst other experiences. I dont think i will be doing them again. I too avoid charismatic Christians, i personally think they didnt hear the lunch bell ring. .

After I had my experience, I even tried mushrooms and it did nothing at all. I am always there. I can teach it to anyone who can pay attention and be disciplined. Nothing against the medicines. Those are fine, just be thankful and conscious of them. Not to go too far into it, I do have a lot to teach and I must offer it. No one ever takes me serious. I have so much to offer people but no one willing to listen. I think all of these individuals are contributions to humanity. I just need to point out that I can add more understanding and clarification to all the topics that they speak about. It’s what I reach out with everyday and I have for 5 years now.

I have been up all night listening to the deep dark recesses of this thing we call the internet in one night I have learned of trepenation as crazy as that shit seems IMO I have learned of the wonder of ultraLSD and a ton of other Hamilton’s pharmacopoeia stuff and then I looked behind that and realized I was trying to live my life through other people and learn from thier experiences because I was scared to do it myself when In reality I knew all along that the only way to learn was to live my own life and have my own experiences and learn from my own mistakes and more importantly I learned that the fear of me (goin out and doing these things) and the fear and dread of what if it doesn’t work out what if I make a mistake by taking a chance and I fail, all the fear that had been holding me back for so long suddenly flipped into resentment and deep emotion of fear of (what if I don’t) it instantly became tenfold more scary to think about what if I didn’t ever go exploring the world what if instead I stay here and do nothing out of fear and I never learn anything meaningful or worthwhile the thought of not doing it for myself was so scary to me that I learned how to use the very same emotions that were holding me back as fuel to move forward I cannot explain my experience in words only the vividly clear message it ingrained on me now and I hope forever ✌🏻

Well said! My journey with psilocybin has lead me to beware of misery, look for love and understanding. These are just the many things that it teaches you.

@@JohnDoe-vt8oq agreed it just lets u see yourself and your actions from another unbiased prospective and allows you to become a better person I am so much happier now than I have been it’s not even measurable and the only thing that really had to change was my view on stuff I am not perfect by any means but I am continuing to progress
