In this episode, Alessandra sits down with Seraphina Capranos, an internationally sought-after teacher, renowned clinical herbalist and homeopath, to discuss the world of plant medicine and the impact of climate change on our health. 

They discuss Alessandra's journey with chronic Lyme disease, the “call and response” of invasive species, and the language of ecosystems. A compelling educator, speaker, and the founder of the Center for Sacred Arts, Seraphina offers profound insights into the natural world, the healing power of ritual, and the symbiosis of herbal and western medicine.

“We aren’t just connected to nature,” Seraphina reminds us, “we ARE nature. Our modern illnesses reflect what's happening in nature. They are a direct mirror of the earth.”
