⧫ A journey of communion, spiritual renewal & practical wisdom with our local plant teachers. ⧫This journey is for those who seek to commune deeply with the spirits of nature as we turn towards the dark half of the year.
*
As the silence grows around us and the nights lengthen, we’re invited to soften into an increasing stillness which heightens our ability to listen deeply, and to immerse ourselves in practices of contemplation, mystery and magic.
In this journey we will gather together to work with plants and tap into the wisdom of nature, to a deeper understanding of our lives and place within the natural world.
⧫ What will we do? ⧫
In this series we will meet 5 times with the same group and dedicate each evening to a devotion, an inquiry and a celebration of *One Local Plant at a Time*.
We will explore this plant through communion practices, trance, journeys, rituals, self and group inquiries and other technologies that engage our soma, our energy system, our hearts, minds and bellies and the group intelligence.
We’ll also explore each plant’s lore through story and song, practical ways to work with these plants for medicine and magic and learn how to establish a spiritual practice with local plant teachers.
*
After each meeting you will go home with remedies (such as tinctures, elixirs, teas, oils) and practices to work with until the next meeting, to integrate and anchor your insights and relationship with each plant in your daily life.
⧫ Why Local Plant Magic? ⧫
We live in a time when so much is accessible to us. There are many plants from far away lands that are well known for their consciousness shifting properties, and there can be a tendency to think that only these plants have deep magic, or only these plants can shift our consciousness in noticeable ways.
However… **Every plant is consciousness shifting** (or has the potential to be).
And the plants that grow in the same ground that we walk upon hold particular wisdom for us. Despite our ever more global perspective, we are creatures that are deeply tied to place, and wired for (and often we're deeply yearning for) relationship, reciprocity and real connection with our environments and the natural intelligences within them.
⧫ About my approach — direct experience, cultivating intuition and discernment ⧫
A significant aspect of my approach to plant work is an emphasis on the importance of direct experiential work with the plant. This means cultivating states of stillness, simplicity and communion and learning to listen deeply through your own being, through your body and your energy system.
This is is a way of reclaiming your own channel in relationship to the spirits that surround us. It profoundly enhances your ability to work with them and receive their guidance. It also supports you to strengthen your intuitive and discernment capacities which are applicable in every part of life.
I balance this with deep curiosity about and acknowledgement of the importance of the story and song of the plant world as well as an understanding of its medicinal properties and actions. My invitation is to dive into working with plants holistically and in intimacy.
