About this Event
This is an evening to explore your intuition, meet the wisdom of the plants and learn practices that open your perception of the plant world. Are you curious about experiencing herbs beyond their physical properties? Bring your curiosity and playful selves to this mystery plant journey.
Intuitive Herbalism is an embodied practice where we learn to listen and attune to the subtle level of the plant realm. The plants can act as a mirror, showing us the parts of ourselves that need our attention. This is a practice that honours the spirit of the plants and invites us to come into our true nature beyond our social conditioning.
We’ll begin the evening with a group meditation and breathing exercises to welcome us into the space before introducing our mystery herb. This will be an everyday herb that grows commonly in the garden. We’ll meet this plant through a guided journey and embodied exercises working with both the physical plant and a hot water infusion to collectively paint a picture of who this plant is and what they are offering us.
What to expect:
- Learn how to meet the wisdom of the plants beyond their physical healing abilities
- Learn how your intuition speaks to you
- Embodied exercises which bring creativity and insight
- To be invited into a playful childlike state to experience plants in a new way
