Coby Michael

The poison path is full of herbs from the witch’s garden with great magical potential and fascinating folklore. Despite their baneful reputations, they are profound spiritual healers capable of offering support in tremendous ways. Join Coby Michael in a powerfully personal journey of trauma, addiction and recovery while meeting a few plant allies that played a pivotal role through this process; opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) and foxglove (Digitalis purpurea). Through this retelling of his own healing journey attendees will be introduced to the various ways that these powerful plant allies can manifest, and the wide spectrum of ways that one can connect to their teachings. Through this first-hand account Coby will demonstrate the intersection between magical correspondence and medicinal properties, sharing how we can access plant spirit medicine for healing, personal growth and empowerment for whatever challenges we are faced with.
