Happy #EarthDay2020
Owen Lindsay originally from Oregon shares with us his life journey with his wife Amber and his daughters in Nevada City California.
Owen transitioned through being a DJ and a gardener to being a plant communicator and a medicine plant maker growing most of the plants that he and his wife use for the medicines they make.
He grew up in the forests of Oregon where his father and grandfather were in the logging business.
In the 60 and 70 logging was a way to earn a paycheck.
His dad was his first plant teacher. Through long walks in the woods, his father taught him which plants were edible and which plants were poisonous.
Mushroom finding was something that he became very attracted too.
As a young man he was immersed in the DJ business in Portland, Oregon. It was for him a community service activity as he helped people have a night of fun. He also shared with us that as a DJ he could bring energy into the place.
At the age of 22, meditating and repeating a kundalini mantra to a flowerpot, he had a very impressive experience. When opening his eyes he saw that the flower in the pot was transmitting a very high energy, he was connecting to the plant, its colors were brilliant and it was glowing. Then he went for a walk and the same experience happened while looking to other plants and trees. At that time he didn’t like very much the experience, he didn’t know how to internalize the information. Years later, he found out that there were herbalists like Asia Suler and others that were giving courses on plant communication. At that point, he understood the experience he had had many years ago and was very happy that he had found his tribe of plant communicators and that he was not alone. Owen shares with us that in the last few years he has been more proactive communicating with plants and listening to their messages and speaking up for them.
