About a year ago, we used to do a '5 question' interview with Natural Medicine members. It was a great way to get to know one another! This challenge has the same spirit - to encourage us to get to know one another and engage in the community, both on HIVE and in Natural Medicine. All you need to do is choose 5 questions from the 31 below, and write. Whether it's astrology, alchemy, herbalism, meditation or anything that helps you heal body, mind and soul - or that keeps you true to your path, you can write about it!

The questions below are from people within the Natural Medicine community, posed by @ganjafarmer, @lafe, @pavanjr, @drrune, @vicvperezdelara and @minismallholding - all who are set a beneficiary on this post.

You must answer FIVE of these questions. You can do more than one post (eg one question per post, or two posts with five questions each, or any variation that you think fits) but choose 5 to respond to.

1. How did your journey in this path/with this practice began?
