Welcome to Medicine Heart

Calling All Pioneers of Heart and Spirit

Welcome, pioneers! I’m not calling for explorers of new lands but rather those with the courage to journey within, pioneering a new way of being human. Beyond psychology, beyond ego-driven life, there lies a path open to all seekers, nature-lovers, and soul-searchers. I invite you to connect with nature—not just in its outer beauty, but in ways that deepen your relationship with the Earth and heal both ourselves and our world.

If you’re here, maybe you’re feeling called. Perhaps you sense there’s more beneath the surface of our science-based world, a connection to your true nature. Or maybe you’re seeking a deeper relationship with nature, beyond appearances and into genuine engagement and partnership.

I’m Karen Weinman, founder of Medicine Heart, an Andean Medicine woman, and your guide on this journey. Here on blog.Medicine Heart, you’ll find a collection of my writings, insights from my book-in-progress, videos, and podcasts. You’ll also find personal stories from my experiences in Peru, encounters with Nature Beings, and my own initiations in this ancient Andean lineage. Together, let’s explore how Andean Medicine can transform us, our communities, and our relationship with the Earth.

What is Andean Medicine, and How Does Nature Heal Us?

My mission here is to share the essence of Andean Medicine, as much as words allow. Unlike Western methods based on theories and intellectual understanding, Andean Medicine is a lived experience, rooted in nature’s wisdom and based on direct, embodied relationship. Originating from the high Andes, this wisdom tradition was passed down through the Inka and their descendants to offer guidance for a time when humanity might lose its balance with nature.

The Inka, who created an advanced civilisation grounded in collaboration with the natural world, believed that engaging with nature’s intelligence brings higher consciousness, automatically releasing heavy energies and restoring balance. When we honour and partner with nature, we open ourselves to healing on all levels—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and energetic—and step into a new way of being that benefits all life.

The Urgency of Reconnection

Today, we see the costs of living disconnected from nature. After a century of psychology-centred culture, we are, in many ways, more isolated, stressed, and detached from the planet and each other. Western society’s “What’s in it for me?” mentality has led to a toxic mindset that endangers the very resources we depend on. Now more than ever, we need the grounding and healing that nature offers.

This journey of reconnection is not quick or easy—it’s an unraveling of old ways and a commitment to a more harmonious future. And it starts with each of us. By nurturing our relationship with nature, we can heal our own energy and stop passing the weight of our unprocessed emotions on to future generations. In turn, our personal healing ripples out, touching our families, communities, and the larger world.

An Invitation to Journey Together

If you feel called to this path or are simply curious, know that there are many ways to begin. I regularly offer free talks, online workshops, and in-person ceremonies in the UK. My programs provide the chance to explore this journey in a supportive, hands-on way—reconnecting with nature, shedding heavy energies, and building a renewed relationship with the Earth.

It’s a privilege to share this ancient medicine in the Western world, with my Q’ero teacher’s blessing, and I’m honoured to offer you a place here to learn, share, and transform.
