066: Healing Ancestral and Racial Trauma Through Herbalism with Melanin Lion
Aug 22, 2022 Episode 66
Chelsea Cora / Melanin Lion

What does the reclamation of herbalism and plant medicines have to do with healing ancestral and racial trauma? In today's deeply insightful interview with special guest Melanin Lion, we dive into this topic as well as how to develop a relationship to plant medicines, how certain herbs can balance the chakras, and so much more!

As a young boy Melanin Lion remembers having an insatiable longing to be lost in the wilderness. Coming home beaten bruised scarred and tattered from the days adventure in the brush. Laying on the floor of his room overwhelmed, still being able to smell the trees, the grass, his sweat. The smell of the wild within his deepest self.  Lion has spent the betterment of his travels answering that call. Adapting his love for the wild, psychology, astrology, and African spirituality to connect to his Primal Spiritual Self. Paying homage to a lineage of Nigerian Warrior Priest and Cherokee Medicine Men by integrating Hoodoo and Elemental Shamanism into daily living. Using the footprints laid by his Ancestors to navigate a path of Divine Oneness.
