- The Tree Spirit Medicine of Sumac is “Lightness of Being.” Sumac brings light into dark places within our psyche. It catches us from descending into the darkness, depression and hopelessness that comes from not living out of our true expression. The gift of Sumac medicine is radiant lightness of being. It brings us to that luminous and transformational place of pure presence and joy with an open heart where we find truth and peace within ourselves.
