SUMMARY:Buddhist Practice and Plant Medicine with Spring Washam.
DESCRIPTION:A two-part training on what mindfulness teachers need to know about wisdom and healing at the intersection of  Buddhist practice and plant medicine.  \n \nThe use of plant medicine for mental health and well-being is an area of rapidly growing interest\, research\, and dialogue. Rooted in Indigenous healing traditions and now being revisited by modern science\, plant medicines are increasingly recognized for their therapeutic potential when used intentionally and in supportive settings.  A growing number of Buddhist practitioners are exploring how plant medicine can complement and deepen inner work.  At the same time\, psychiatrists\, psychologists\, and other mental health professionals are beginning to integrate plant-based medicines into therapeutic frameworks\, offering new avenues of care for trauma\, depression\, and anxiety.  \n \nThis workshop will build a better understanding of the intersection of plant medicines and Buddhism and how this intersection can be aligned with Buddhist practices of insight\, compassion\, and liberation from suffering.  As mindfulness and meditation teachers\, we need to better understand this evolving terrain so that we can be equipped to respond to student’s questions and experiences with/about plant medicine. Spring Washam will guide us in a rich\, nuanced\, informative workshop on how and where ancient spiritual practice meets traditional healing and build our capacity to support our students with information\, integrity\, and care. \n \nThis session is from 12 – 3 pm ET ; Zoom link is here \nThe second session will be on September 6  from 12 – 3 pm ET. \n Learn more about Spring Washam here.
