David Crow, LAc

A 18-module On-demand Audio Training

Receive advanced insights, practices and teachings for experiencing the profound benefits of medicinal plants for your health, wellbeing, longevity and spiritual transformation.

Become initiated into a new and synergistic relationship with the plant kingdom — and discover how to work with plants as multidimensional allies for your body, emotions, mind and soul.

In your quest for overcoming illness, increasing energy, experiencing greater happiness or even growing spiritually, the fact is that plants are one of the most powerful allies you can possibly find.

In the modern West, we’ve been raised to think of plants in a mechanistic way — at best, they’re nourishment for our bodies or beauty for our gardens.

But the truth is that we’re completely dependent on plants just to survive. Plants are actually conscious, sentient life forms connected in complex and mysterious ways to the health of our bodies and minds.

Plants can heal disease, clear our minds, cleanse toxins and open us to higher consciousness. They can rebalance our emotions, release our addictions and expand our vision.

When you relate to plants with curiosity, humility and reverence, they can teach you a great deal about yourself, sacred living and your connection with others.

This is likely not news to you. You’ve probably long suspected there is much more to understand about plants, evolution and your relationship with the natural world.

You may be fascinated by systems of natural medicine like Ayurveda, Chinese wisdom and working with herbs.

You may be curious about the ways that essential oils, flowers and herbs affect your moods and shift your consciousness.

The challenge though, is that a new-paradigm relationship with plants can take a lifetime of study in many disciplines — from botany and medicine to sacred traditions and spiritual practices.

Rather than trying to sift through all this information on your own, what if you could take a 6-month, virtual journey with a master guide who has spent decades being initiated into the practical, medical, psychological and spiritual powers of plants ?

Such a guide can navigate you through the hype and misinformation you are sure to encounter. Science tends to view the esoteric healing lore of plants with skepticism, preferring the cold, clinical certainty of pharmaceutical drugs. On the other side, every major botanical tradition that holds great wisdom also has blind spots and knowledge gaps.

Imagine a virtual apprenticeship with one of the most respected teachers on the planet — a wise sage at the forefront of experimentation and practice with 30 years of clinical study behind him. David Crow, LAc, founder of the highly-respected Floracopeia, is one of today’s greatest synthesizers of wisdom lineages regarding plants. He not only has studied and assimilated the research, he’s spent decades immersing himself in the ancient healing arts and has committed his life to passionately sharing how others can safely benefits from the power of plants.

And now he can accelerate your learning and open a whole new world, one that empowers you to better heal and nourish your body, mind and soul — and help your loved ones do the same.

In the Medicinal Plants & Spiritual Evolution Intensive, David will share precise insights about using a wide array of plants — from medicinal mushrooms to flowering herbs — for healing, cleansing, longevity, cognitive functioning, meditation and much more.

David has journeyed deep into Chinese and Ayurvedic traditions. He’s learned from masters the world over and synthesized what really works into 16 sessions in which you’ll discover the full spectrum of the powers of medicinal plants — from clearing your mind to detoxing your body to liberating your soul.

Applying his clear insights and practices, you’ll see the plant kingdom with new eyes and experience life in a more multidimensional way. Each plant, herb and flower is a pathway into a deeper relationship with your body, mind and soul — and thus, a portal to spiritual awakening.

If you choose to take this journey with David, you’ll experience a profound new understanding of medicinal plants that links your biology, ecology, the growth of your consciousness and a felt sense of connection with all of life.

This new relationship with plants is ultimately a transformational journey in which you become intimately interconnected with the intelligence of nature in a grounded, earthy and sustainable way.

As you experience your biological unity with the plant kingdom, your consciousness opens to a new understanding of medicinal herbs, aromatherapy, meditation and spirituality. This powerful experiences can manifest in many ways, from the herb gardens you grow to your use of essential oils.

By understanding plants in a multidimensional way, you open up a deeper cosmological view and a more dynamic relationship with the life force of the universe. You cultivate more prana or chi. You harmonize your bodily systems. You heal old traumas.

You can envision this new relationship with the plant kingdom in terms of growing new and deeper roots for embodied living. This strengthened root system allows you to weather metaphorical storms, droughts and other life challenges — from health crises to aging to the loss of loved ones.

Becoming more grounded emotionally and spiritually through our relationship with plants has collective benefits as well. A deeper awareness of our biological relationship with plants will result in a healthier culture.

Put simply, reconnecting with plants reestablishes our relationship with the ground of being.

Our planet is in ecological crisis in part because we have come to view ourselves as separate and “above” nature, causing us to be destructive and wasteful, not to mention unhealthy and unhappy.

The Value of a Master Guide

There is perhaps no better guide for this journey into a new paradigm of relating to the plant kingdom than David Crow, who unifies wisdom from many streams of healing practices into a coherent understanding.

For more than 30 years he’s pioneered a path that’s about harnessing the power of plants to infuse more intelligence in your body, mind and soul — giving you a more organic wisdom and sustainable connection with life.

David will show you how to relate more deeply with medicinal plants for rejuvenation, cleansing and awakening.

He’ll draw from strands as diverse as Ayurveda, Chinese medicine and essential oils to shift the foundation of how you relate to plants — from seeing them as mechanistic objects to wise, sentient allies.

You’ll receive a profound understanding of working with medicinal plants, food plants, flowers, mushrooms, aromatic ceremonial plants and essential oils as a doorway into understanding health, spirituality and true wellness.

You’ll learn about detoxifiers, adaptogens, anti-inflammatories, cognitive enhancers, pain relievers, longevity enhancers, and sacred plants for opening meditative consciousness.

David will balance high-level theoretical and spiritual insights alongside specific remedies and protocols that you can put into practice in your life immediately. You’ll learn how to eat more healthfully and joyfully in a way that really nourishes your body. You’ll discover specific therapeutic herbs, plant essences and oils that can rebuild your energy and clarify your focus.

In every class, you’ll gain important practical information about medicinal plants that can be applied for physical and emotional balance.

And you’ll also engage a paradigm shift toward real reverence for plants, which is the beginning of a sacred relationship with nature.
