Looking for natural ways to transform your mental and physical health and wellbeing?

Learn about the receptors in the brain responsible for emotions and how plants can interact with each to create conscious altering sensory experiences. Understand the ritual aspect of mental health and how you can create intention with plants and project your intentions into the universe to manifest into positive change.
