Earlier this year I had the honour of sitting down-virtually-with Wild Rose Alumna Samantha Orthlieb, Master Herbalist about the role of Plant Medicine in 2020.
Samantha owns Senses of the Soul & Botanical Sanctuary and runs her clinical practice out of Ammolite Healing Center in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada.
“When you look at plant medicine, plants in themselves are whole. They are intrinsically linked to nature and the cosmos–as I say in my book, they know why they’re here, they know what their purpose is, they don’t stumble around like us poor delicate humans do–they don’t really think that way. And therefore to me, if you are giving someone a plant remedy of any kind, whether it’s a vibrational essence like a flower essence, everything helps us intrinsically within that to connect back on a whole.
Whether you are a Clinician or whether you are using it, it is helping you on a much higher level of consciousness that I believe actually most people realize.”

There’s a cultural expectation that spring arrives like a light switch. One day we’re tired and inward, the next we’re energized, motivated and ready to “detox.” But the body doesn’t work that way. Spring is not an instant awakening. It’s a transition. And for many people, that transition is messy, uncomfortable and misunderstood. The Awkward […]
Winter draws us inward. The days are shorter, the air is heavier, and for many of us, the heart feels a little more tender this time of year. In herbal medicine, the heart is never just a pump. It is the seat of emotional circulation, connection, rhythm and warmth. In the dark season, when external […]
At Wild Rose College, we believe winter isn’t a pause in learning, it’s an invitation to go deeper. While the world around us is rushing into resolutions and to-do lists, nature continues to rest. The plants are still holding their energy underground. The light is just beginning to return. And within this quiet, there’s space […]
