Step into the magic of October with an afternoon of plants, community, and creativity! As the veil thins and the darker half of the year begins, turning to seasonal herbs like elderberry, rosemary, and mugwort—plants long associated with protection, memory, and dream work—help tap us into the medicine of the season and prepare our bodies and spirits for the darker months ahead. After discussing a handful of seasonal plants, we’ll craft a hands-on herbal preparation, explore ways to weave herbs into ritual, and dive into a guided writing practice that honors our ancestors, the plants, and the turning of the year. This beginner-friendly class offers both practical plant knowledge and a nourishing space for ritual, release, and creativity. All are warmly welcome to join us to sip tea, connect with the plants, and celebrate the magic and wisdom within ourselves and the natural world around us.Facilitator Bio:
