The Plant Wisdom Circle

Amy Terepka

The Plant Wisdom Circle is a monthly podcast that emerges from ceremony. Each month, Amy Terepka hosts a plant spirit gathering, listening deeply to one plant as a teacher and guide. The collective insights from these circles, along with her 20 years of plant medicine experience, are then woven into each episode where Amy shares the wisdom the plant offered and reflections on how we can integrate it into our lives. Rooted in animistic consciousness and plant spirit medicine, this podcast is an invitation to remember our belonging with the living Earth, one plant at a time.
