A Few 2023 Plant Cunning Conference Pix
What is plant cunning?
Cunning: The word “cunning” refers to knowing how to do something, especially something uncanny- something that others don’t know how to do, such as healing with plants and working with spirits.
Plant Cunning: Being “plant cunning” is being wise to the ways of plants, and not just the material ways.
Historic Use of the Term: The “cunning craft” and the “cunning folk” or “wise women” who were practitioners of healing and blessing or traditional folk medicine and magic in England and Europe, and colonial America from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century. They were clearly distinguished from witches who were known for malevolent magic, but the cunning folk were the healers of the village, especially in England.
The Plant Cunning Podcast: is a weekly podcast hosted by AC and Isaac who interview folks who are wise to the ways of plants and the natural world. They invite guests who are herbalists, astrologers, mages, farmers, permaculturists and thought leaders.
The Plant Cunning Conference is our live and in-person event featuring speakers, workshops, plant walks, artists and music to build community and resiliency through gaining new skills and knowledge and making new connections with like-minded plant people.
