In an emerging, sustainable human culture on planet Earth, we are privileged with a growing awareness of our species as a reflection of the more than human world. As we cultivate mastery in all aspects of our life, we come into a sense of reverence for the diverse patterns of wisdom that grow through great masters all around us. Since time untold, ancient aboriginal cultures have understood that plants hold a special role in human evolution, healing and education. Plants are the elder teachers in the abundant University of the Earth.

In the heart of the human movement to receive these profound medicine teachings, so freely offered to us, Sacha Runa works to guide people in creating their own unique relationships with plants. With a focus on those "master plants", whose animated spirits are especially effective at communicating with humans, our programs draw from ancient traditional wisdom to foster an empowered communion with our human potential as nature. Offered here is a host of resources on some of our most beloved and intimate healing teachers.
