This week on Tea Talks with Jiling, we are joined by the author, naturalist, and former pro-boxer, Vanessa Chakour. Vanessa fosters intimacy with inner and outer wilds through writing, herbalism, martial arts, and land stewardship. She is the author of Awakening Artemis, a memoir told through the lens of 24 medicinal plants, and Earthly Bodies: Embracing Animal Nature, which delves into the parallels between human struggles and the experiences of our wild neighbors, offering insights on self-discovery and coexistence. She lives in Western Massachusetts where she collaborates with her local ecosystem and is a devoted student of nature.
