In this multi-faceted conversation, Rebecca Espinoza chats with Herbalist and Teacher, Sarah Wu, about the Good Medicine Road, as Sarah calls it. On this road, they navigate through the topics of herbalism, permaculture, and witchcraft as a journey home to self through the support of nature. Sarah shares her expansive wisdom and knowledge on spiritual ecology and on the experience of connecting to nature as a form of social justice. With 15 years of being a devoted steward to the Good Medicine Road, Sarah extends insight into what it means to truly connect to the medicine of the plants, not just the commodification of them.
With eco-communities and living off-grid becoming a trend, Sarah is able to extend her lived experiences with the Vida familia. After having lived in an an eco-community for years and having built her home off-grid in the Costa Rican jungle, Sarah discusses the romanticized view of living off the grid versus the reality of personal accountability and laborious work involved.
This conversation is meant to be a reminder on the the importance of self-sovereignty, community, and the interconnectedness of nature, and advocating for a deeper understanding of our relationship with the earth and each other. Overall, it's an ode to hope in a world that may seem like it's collapsing all around us.
