About this Episode: In this powerful conversation, Cate Stillman interviews David Crow—renowned author, herbalist, plant-medicine researcher, and founder of Floracopeia. Together, they explore the worlds of Tibetan, Ayurvedic, and Chinese medicine through the lens of lineage, ritual, and spiritual ecology. David shares his extraordinary journey—from being one of the first Western students in acupuncture college in the 1980s, to closing his clinic and moving to Kathmandu to study Tibetan and Ayurvedic medicine directly from lineage-holding masters. He speaks about transmission, apprenticeship, plant spirit intelligence, and the disappearing wisdom of traditional herbalism. Cate and David dive into the deep relationship between inner and outer alchemy—how consciousness, meditation, ritual, and plants work together to heal, awaken, and extend longevity. They also explore how modern people can reconnect to ecosystems, attention, and plant intelligence in simple, practical ways. If you're a wellness pro, herbalist
