#75 Queering herbalism and grief as sacred practice with Brunem Warshaw

Happy new moon in pieces, wonderful listeners!

This episode feels like a really wonderful treat to kick this moon cycle off with. It’s been a deeply resonating, wonderful and insightful conversation with Brunem Warshaw of Well Deep Remedies. Here is some of what we talked about:

  • Making friends with neighbourhood plants
  • Weaving disability justice and anti capitalist values into healing work
  • Prioritising plant connections in the way we spent our social energy
  • Navigating feminized labour with the support of plants
  • Heartbreak and grief as a sacred practice

Brunem mentioned the books Care Work by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women by Silvia Federici.

Hi, I’m Yarrow

I’m a maker, grief companion and tarot reader living on the East coast of Scotland. 

I facilitate creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, make handmade textile magic and host the Grief Glimmers podcast. My wish is to change the culture around grief and death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.
