About

As a child, Sarah Wu Spent a lot of time outside making friends with animals, trolls, and flowers. As an angry 90's art kid she naturally wanted to challenge her Catholic upbringing. She actually preferred the teachings and practices that honored feminine power as well as masculine. Because it's all about balance! It didn't take Sarah very long to realize she was indeed, a Witch. But not the witch you might think. She isn't out to steal your money, life, beauty or anything like that. Think more along the lines of Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz, but here to help along your wellness journey. Sarah is a wise herbal medicine woman residing in the Southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica at Punta Mona, a beachfront botanical collection and permaculture farm. At Punta Mona Center Sarah is the Director and Educational Curator. She is also one of the Co-Founders of Envision Festival, a celebration dedicated to awakening our human potential. The festival takes place in the next town over from where I'm currently living in Costa Rica so I was very excited to chat with Sarah about the intention and operation behind the festival. Sarah and I also discuss her tough journey with in-vitro fertilization. If you're considering in-vitro for your family, you're going to want to listen to Sarah's advice and personal experience. We talk all about the placebo effect in healing practices, walking the self-healing path as a healer, the murder of innocent women during the witch trials, exploitation of plants for medicine, lessons from off-grid living, and practicing non-attachment as a retreat facilitator. For those of you plant loving, meditating, wandering collections of light and love out there who want to hear from The Village Witch herself, you're in the right place! I also have a BIG announcement to share at the end of this episode so be sure to stick around until the very end! If you do, YOU get to be a part of the future of Wander Well Podcast!
