Nature Connections January 10th 2014 with Cathy Skipper

This week on my Nature Connections show I am really excited to interview Teacher, Herbalist and Gardener, Cathy Skipper. Cathy is English and has lived in France for over 20 years. She teaches field botany, practical herbalism, healing plants with plants, wild crafting and herbal gardening at the herbal school in Lyon  and is also one of the founder members and coordinators of a newish international herbal network called ‘Herbalists sans Frontieres.

Cathy’s overriding philosophy and mission in her work is to help people reconnect with nature, the natural world and themselves. She says: ” I believe in helping my students become as autonomous as possible and am an advocate for using the plants that grow around us and making our own medicines”.

I enjoyed every second of speaking to Cathy and I know you will too. You can find out more about Cathy’s work and her 2014 workshops here:

I also discuss the potential of this time of year and how the energy of the moon and the seasons can support us in clarifying and growing our intentions. I speak in  particular about Snowdrop and Magnolia flower essences.
