Integrate Trauma Informed Network

🌿 What changes when we stop asking only, “What does this plant do?” and begin asking, “What happens when I meet this plant?”
A relationship with plants can be sensory, embodied, and reciprocal.

Through hydrosols, herbal teas, infused body oils, aromatherapy, or simply spending time alongside a living plant, we can explore plants through scent, touch, taste, temperature, rhythm, and observation.

From a polyvagal-informed lens, the goal isn't to prescribe a nervous system response or assume a particular herb will make everyone feel the same way.

Instead, we can practice:

Orient → Sense → Notice → Choose → Repeat → Relate

Do I want to move closer to this scent or farther away?

What do I notice as I hold a warm cup of tea?
What happens when I slow down enough to observe a plant rather than immediately use it?
Over time, the plant becomes more than an intervention.

🌱 It becomes something we learn to be in relationship with.

Come hang out from 4:30 to 5:45 at OM Old Orchard in Webster Groves to begin building and embodied relationship with plants
