I’m really excited about sharing this conversation with you as it’s with two people whose work I adore. Nathaniel Hughes and Fiona Owen are the writer and artist behind the incredible book Weeds in the Heart. As I mentioned in the episode, I found their book completely by accident in a little bookshop in Stroud when I was away with my partner and children over the new year. It was Fiona’s artwork that first drew me in and upon opening the book I felt myself transported into a world of plants, weeds and utter magic! As they mention, Fiona and Nathaniel have been working together for around six years creating the Weeds in the Heart books, a living, breathing project that will continue to develop and change with the seasons and the years. In this conversation, we cover: Their paths into Herbalism Working with plants as spirits and allies Why we don’t always have to ‘consume’ plants as food (something I needed to hear, as you’ll see when I speak of my hunt for wild garlic!) The need to find our own herbal medicine path that is unique to the place in which we reside I really do encourage you to practice the meditation that follows this conversation to really get a sense of what Fiona and Nathaniel are speaking about. I also encourage to get their book - it really is the most therapeutic book to read; the combination of Fiona’s illustrations and Nathaniel’s words creates an ethereal experience and it’s a book I often sit and gaze at when my brain needs some time out. It would be a perfect gift for someone need some reassurance or comfort at any time. You can find the book on the main website: www.weedsintheheart.org.uk And Nathianiel’s main school page is: https://www.schoolofintuitiveherbalism.weedsintheheart.org.uk And Fiona’s stunning artwork can be found at: https://johnandfionaowen.weebly.com Please stay around until the end when I’ll give you a little information about the meditation and writing prompt I’ve created in the follow-up to this conversation. As always, you can find me over at www.promptedbynature.co.uk or on the Instagram squares with my daily writing prompts @prompted.by.nature

3a. Nathaniel Hughes and Fiona Owen: Weeds in the Heart

Nathaniel Hughes discusses intuitive herbalism. How to develop deep relationship with the healing plants that live around us. How to know plants beyond the intellect, and meeting plants as friends. Lay-herbalism; the controversy of regulation, and certification. Do you actually need them in order to practice herbalism in your community?
