Speaker: Margaret Cross, Plant Medicine Teacher/Healer
About: The last 2 decades has seen a massive growth and curiosity into the Mystery of plant Medicines here in the disconnected West. The failure of western medicine to address the whole human being and the intricate interplay between physical, mental and spiritual aliments has forced the more exploratory of the human clan to search outside the medical matrix for answers to their questions. Since the 60s people have been traipsing off into jungles, deserts and mountains around the world following a deep internal knowledge that a whole unseen world existed beyond the walls of the familiar and that this unseen world held the answers they were seeking.
I am one of those number. Like them, some mysterious thing called me up from a restless slumber and promised me something more. Something that would heal me and help me transcend the invisible walls and programs that I was only starting to become aware of. Walls and programs that kept me on my hamster wheeling running the same path, receiving the same outcomes for my actions. Blind to my true nature. Always in pain.
So, driven by this pressure to look beyond the mundane, I walked a path less trod. I took paths that just seemed to appear to me and in doing so I found my purpose, my teacher and my Love.
This is deeply personal story of my 20-year relationship with San Pedro Cactus or Grandfather. In sharing this story, I will give you a profound and compelling Insite into the multidimensional nature of his teaching and the wide-ranging benefits that come from having a loving balanced relationship with a Master plant teacher who has no human foibles to speak of.
This is particularly true right now because Grandfather has prepared me over the years for the reality of living in the Apocalypse season and what this means for humanity? Nobody actually wants to talk about the end of the bloody age, especially if it’s happening at an inconvenient time…like when you are alive on planet earth!!!
Most people are oblivious to the large cycles of time that rule their world and are, as a consequence, blind to the great shifts and turnings of the Ages. These are momentous, challenging times and only the prepared are ready for the speeding up of time, the dissolution of the world operating system and the huge earth changes that are accompanying the rebirth of Gaia and her children. As an awakened member of this shift into the 6th world I have been entrusted by the creator to support humanity during its time of transition and I Look forward to sharing the wisdom that has been given to me by my beloved Cactus Guru so that you to may surf the apocalypse with ease and grace.
