UWP Ep155 - Tobacco & European Tree Wisdom - Merav Artzi, Jason Grechanik, & Tara Muirghein

Hey, here is a special episode!

This episode is an interview that I did with my colleague Merav Artzi and our friend Tara Muirghein of FireTreeAlchemy. Tara invited us on to speak about our story, our work with connecting to the wisdom of plants, our lineage from the Amazon, how we work with tobacco and trees, and how we have begun to bridge this technology with connecting people with the wisdom of their own indigenous lands and trees. It was lovely to share with Tara, thank you to her for having us on, and we hope you enjoy this episode. As always, to support this podcast, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!

“Merav is a trained plant medicine healer (Tabaquera-Curandera), offering ceremonies and diets with Tobacco and other Master Plants for healing and learning, in Urubamba, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peru.“At an early age, I left my home country of Israel to study fine arts in Europe. In 2009, while traveling in South America, I decided to go to the Amazon. The work with Ayahuasca was a gate to the magical world of medicinal plants. The Amazon is truly the pharmacy of planet Earth. I have been working for eight years as a healer trained with Amazonian plants, specializing in Tobacco. Beforehand, I apprenticed with Maestro Ernesto Garcia Torres in Iquitos. As a healer, I work with patients suffering from hormonal imbalance, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and more. In addition, I give Master Plant diets and teach students who are interested in learning how to heal with Tobacco. Tobacco is the medicine of my heart and I am here to share this medicine with the world.””
