Stories that Remember the Land — Botanicals

To a large extent, I use this space to reconnect to Source, to plants and to the natural world and honour the divinity within it. By connecting to the natural elements, I walk along the path of my ancestors acknowledging the monumental shift that has pulled us away from nature and humanity’s slow and humble crawl back to it. These journeys connect us back to the spiral of life, back to the energetic centre of balance where we can draw on new technologies to become allies in the resistance against the great slumber (the great death).

Plant knowledge is revolutionary in the Caribbean and to indigenous peoples around the world. It is the connection to Source. Plants carry medicine, ease, cure, swift death, memory and the customs of a people wrapped up in magick and ritual. We are trapped in the great forgetting. This journaling is a way to come into alignment with their transmissions, to redefine my creative energy and to remember.

“Bush Medicine: Stories that Remember the Land”

“Bush Medicine: Stories that Remember the Land” focuses on traditional knowledge and the power of intergenerational exchange, two aspects of recovery and remembering that are important for Vincentian consciousness. The documentary dives into stories of elders and younger practitioners across Bequia and St. Vincent, and engages in their memories of the land, the importance of bush medicine in daily living, subsistence agriculture and traditions that were once important in our communities.
