This Week on “The Manual That Never Arrived” – Podcast
In today's episode – that will be in english, we sit down with a woman whose work has transformed the lives of thousands- including our own. Marysia Miernowska is an herbalist, teacher, author of The Witch’s Herbal Apothecary, mother, and founder of The School of the Sacred Wild and Gaia School of Healing. Known as a steward of the Earth and a voice for the plants, Marysia bridges ancestral herbalism, earth magic, feminine wisdom and modern healing.
In this episode, Marysia shares her story- how her journey with herbalism began after a deep burnout while working in architecture, which brought her onto the plant path. She later started teaching herbalism from her living room in Santa Monica. What began as a small circle of women gathering in ceremony with the plants has now grown into an international online school, training herbalists and awakening “modern-day witches” all over the world.
She also opens up about the next chapter of her healing- when black mold, parasites, and gut imbalance arrived and invited her into an even deeper relationship with her body, the plants, and the way she teaches healing.

This conversation is filled with wisdom, softness and fierce truth.
