Anki Paulssen is the founder of Plant Spirit Guru. She has over 25 years of experience working with Western Master Plants, which offers profound insights and initiate a personal transformation that leads to emotional healing, spiritual growth, and self-discovery.
Her journey with the plants started when she was a child, growing up in the apartment above her grandparents' bakery, with a small garden in the back which had only one tree. She could see that tree from her bedroom window and started having conversations with it.
And that eventually brought us here, having an amazing conversation.
About moving from the Netherlands to Australia and feeling an immediate connection to the land and the plants.
About her travels to Peru and discovering ayahuasca, plant dietas and plantsongs.
About what a plant dieta is and Anki's first experience with it.
About talking from spirit to spirit with a plant and how it helps you get back into your body.
About the timeless wisdom of plants, singing over them, and asking permission to use them.
About regional and cultural differences when it comes to basic plant knowledge and the use of medicinal plants and herbs.
About the future relationship between plants and people.
And lots more.
