Bio:
Sajah Popham, founder of Organic
Unity and The School of Evolutionary Herbalism, is a student of the
universal truths found within both ancient and modern herbal
traditions from around the world. The focus of his work is on
integrating ancient teachings for a new paradigm of plant medicine,
one that is truly holistic in its honoring of the spirit,
energetics, and body of both people and plants. His unique
synthesis bridges herbalism not only east and west, but north and
south, above and below, into a universal philosophy that
encompasses indigenous wisdom, Ayurveda, western Alchemy and
Spagyrics, Astrology, clinical herbalism, and modern
pharmacology. Sajah’s
vitalist approach utilizes plants not only for physiological
healing and rejuvenation, but for the evolution of consciousness,
for a truly holistic practice of plant medicine. Sajah’s teachings
embody a heartfelt respect, honour and reverence for the vast
intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper
into the nature of our medicines and ourselves. He lives in
southern Oregon with his wife where he teaches at his school, makes
spagyric medicines, and practices his art.
