- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I never thought other plants had healing power and spirits. Just the psychedelic plants. Very interesting book. Not only plants, but water, rain, rocks and other nature elements. The journey of the author and their way of healing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A life changing thruth calling all mankind to reconnect respectfully to Mother Earth.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was the precise book I needed to read. So poignant, clear and concise. A beautiful addition to understanding this multi dimensional reality we find ourselves engaged with.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the first time exposing myself to a topic such as this. It is interesting however a few exercises take some effort to complete which is difficult via audio book. Audio quality was good, book informative, interviews compelling.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Maybe I was expecting somewhat different with this book. It certainly was a journey, more of a retelling of the author's personal spiritual journey. I didn't find much of the information within to be of use in my own personal practice. Perhaps it will resonate better with those walking shamanic paths.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just an excellent book. It was a very informative read!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love it. Informative book on the depth and community of plant spirituality.
