Join us as Mountain Rose Herbs’ Chief Marketing & Brand Officer, Thomas Dick, interviews local Eugene celebrity and beloved herbal educator, Howie Brounstein. Howie runs the Columbines School of Botanical Studies and was kind enough to step out of the woods and into our office for an in-person podcast interview. It was great to see our good friend face to face and chat about his unique herbal path - including backyard potions and hitchhiking across Western North America. With decades of hands-on experience, Howie talks to us about the impacts of wild crafting and the healing process of forming connections with the plants (and ecosystem) you harvest (from). We hope you enjoy this week’s entertaining and story-full episode!

Visit the [Columbines School of Botanical Studies website](https://botanicalstudies.net/).

 **Howie Brounstein** has taught botany, herbalism, and wildcrafting extensively for decades, including at such herbal establishments as the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine. He is the co-owner and a primary instructor of the Columbines School of Botanical Studies and has a clinical practice in Eugene, Oregon.
