The End of the Age of Reason & the Emergence of the New Herbal Renaissance - an interview with Stephen Buhner

Herbalism As Activism - Stories of healing, justice, resistance and change

In this episode...

I interview Stephen Buhner, herbalist, teacher and prolific author. He been called an earth poet and a bardic naturalist. It’s a particular honour for me because i’ve had some opportunity to study with Stephen and he’s had an enormous impact on me and my healing path.

We explore the age old question,

What do Donald Trump, Hurricane Katrina, the mortgage meltdown, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and lyme disease have in common?

It turns out they’re symptoms of the end of the the Age of Reason & Rationality.

“Rationalist science is based on linearity and the belief of control. But non-linearity is what really happens here and control is an illusion. So, science itself is undergoing a metamorphosis.”

We also touch on:

• Emergence of a new Paradigm for Reality
• Ecological healing and medicine that’s sustainable
• The function of depression
• Our culture’s fear of death and our perspective of health
• Reflections on “old age” as a developmental stage of growth: dealing with grief and redefining hope

Stephen’s shares about his personal shift into “old age”,

“... exploring the grief and tragedy of the world, but still have this certain warmth of heart without having the hysteria of a younger time of life.”

I hope you enjoy this interview with Stephen Buhner as much as I did...
