The concept of being “botanical” highlights that humans are not separate from nature; rather, we are deeply connected to it, as our ancestors philosophy. When we acknowledge the harm or violence present within ourselves and society, we can ask important questions: How does my inner nature influence the world around me? In what ways am I contributing to my current situation? What steps can I take to change and improve the world we live in?
