Favorite Quotes:

  • “I knew that I was in it for the relationships. And it still is that way in the work study program… it’s really about what you get out of the relationships.” – Cate Stillman
  • “It’s such an unusual experience for people in this day and age to be able to be in a close relationship with plants.” – Cate Stillman
  • “The commercialization of plant medicine — I’m not a fan.” – Cate Stillman
  • “…understand that we’re collaborators with the plants.” – Cate Stillman
  • “Weeds are a problem. These edible, invasive weeds are a problem. When we start to understand that these plants are trying to feed us and nurture us and wake us the heck up! ” – Cate Stillman
  • “Ayurveda at the core is Svadhyaya — it’s Self-study.. It’s being seated in the Self. Part of Self-study — Self with a capital S — is ‘you are your ecosystem.’ You start to understand how who you are expands into all the stuff that feeds your body, that you are not separated from your food sources or your medicine sources; that all of that is now under the definition of Self. ” – Cate Stillman
  • “Our thrive is definitely not found in a plastic bottle or gel capsules….” – Cate Stillman
  • “If you’re putting it in a bottle and selling it and not really educating along the way about the native ecosystem the person’s living in and their connection to the water, and to the air, and to the earth, and to the nutrients, and you’re not helping that person actually heal their environment as they’re healing themselves, it is my belief that you’re doing a disservice and that you haven’t gone deep enough into your own Self study.” – Cate Stillman
  • “I don’t care if you live in Manhattan or Tokyo, or wherever you live, you walk outside and just notice: What plants are trying to connect with you? Are you available?” – Cate Stillman
