Numen: the animating force in all things living.

Numen: the Healing Power of Plants bridges worlds that aren’t often linked: spirit, ecology, and health, to show how each is essential in healing. We are creating this blog to extend the exploration initiated in the film to conversations about healthcare in our communities.

Our vision in producing Numen is to help launch a grassroots medicine movement that is as widespread and powerful as the local food movement. We hope that the film as well as discussions around topics in the film at screenings and here, on-line, can spark new conversations and debates about health and wellness and inspire real, tangible actions in communities across the country.
