In this interview I talk with herbalist Kate Husted about being a responsible white herbalist on colonized lands. We discussed our love for our respective adopted homelands, and how we’ve come to understand right relationship with the land we live on. Kate also discussed her project theThe Herb Hut Free Clinic, a mobile clinic that provides free healthcare to her community. She shared a bit about how she set up the structure and why it was so important for her to find funding so that the clinic could be a sustaining resource for both her and the community it serves.

If you could talk to someone from the future—a future where we succeeded in creating a regenerative world—wouldn’t you want to know what we did to get there?
In this episode I talk to Elizabeth Russell the creator of the Dreamfruit Almanac. An intuitive planning tool that centers around Thirteen “Dreams” from a future past detailing step by step instructions for how we build that world. As Elizabeth writes “The opportunity within Dreamfruit is to let the wisdom of the imaginal realm become a practical tool of transformation.”
In our interview, we look at the “Dreams” that Elizabeth downloaded for 2020 and see how they measured up to the events we just lived through. It’s kinda my nod to the ‘year in review’ podcasts and news stories you see everywhere, but with a feminist and magical twist.
We also talk about the importance of deep imagination in navigating these difficult and often confusing times, and take a sneak peek at the ‘Dreams’ Elizabeth has received for 2021.

More about Dream Fruit
Dream fruit focuses on the themes of Natural time, Animism and Natural Allies and revolves around the 13 Dreams discussed above.
“Each of the thirteen “Dreams from the Future” animates the themes of the time and gives the psyche a narrative of transformation. These dreams are written in past tense. They can be read as missives from a future being or from the collective dream to help you conceive a path forward through the particular terrain of the time.”
In this episode we discuss the zine I wrote last year describing my experience of leaving a Mystery School in Portland, and my journey to unpack the manipulative and damaging experience I had there. It asks questions about whether the school is a cult and explores the kind of support that was helpful for me when coming forward, and the things that were very unhelpful. We also discuss the new name and revised mission of this podcast. You can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Play, or listen right here:
