Guest speaker: Kathleen “Kat” Harrison
PROGRAM NOTES:
[NOTE: All quotations are by Kat Harrison.]
“If a bird you’re not used to seeing comes and sits on a tree outside your window and calls, and calls, and calls. It’s not just a bird of a trip. It’s a bird that has a message that it is sending you that may be positive, that may be a warning. It’s something you pay attention to.”
“You really need to, at least part of the time, speak [out loud] to the entity that you are invoking the presence of. That the whole idea with these medicines is to go into an active, right now, relationship between beings. It’s inter-species communication.”
“In order to do this kind of magical work, energy transforming work, you have to create a vulnerable oasis. You have to be willing to be open and be vulnerable, and in order to do that you have to set up protection around you, around the people you’re working with, or even the place you’re working. And one of the ways to set up protection is to plant plants that carry that kind of protective power around you.”

[From their Web site: “Thank you for considering Gaian Botanicals as your source for high quality ethnobotanicals, herbs and teas. We are a small privately owned and operated specialty shop who imports direct from growers & harvesters in small quantities to ensure everything is fresh. We use our own contracted laboratory to manufacture high quality, safe and effective botanical extracts. We maintain the highest level of respect and great relationships with the plants, those who cultivate and manufacture our extracts, our customers and Gaia. We take great care with every aspect of our business and keep overhead low to save you money!”]
Having discovered your podcasts about three months ago, I’ve been listening through the entire library (and now I’m also working through Shroom With A View which I found because of your mention of them). Of all I’ve heard so far, Kat Harrison and Jonathan Ott are my favorites. I just feel like I could listen to either of them all day long!
This particular talk has effected me deeply since the first time I heard it a few weeks ago while laying under the stars on a hot summer night. I’m especially fascinated by what Harrison said about shamans across the Americas seeing Tobacco as the most important ally, “How could you pray without it?” This has led me to spend some very deep time in conversation with that plant.
Thank you so much for making all of these talks available, and for your wonderful commentary before and after.
Haha around 20 mins she says “infiltrate” and it sounded just like Terence, I cracked up. Kat is so delightful.
Many thanks for yet another informative talk by this beautiful soul… anyone else out there with any of Harrison’s previous tapes/lectures should start coughing them up now! It’s getting serious out in the global drama-sphere and it’s voices like Kat that help us maintain balance, center, and a much-needed feminine perspective.
Seriously! THANKS. Absolutely loving these talks from Kat and I echo the request for moooore if you have them.
Another great talk Lorenzo! Thanks for all the work you do.
I’m also really liking these Kat Harrison talks, so if you have more please lay them on us.
