Plant Walk + Tea Ceremony

FLOW OF THE EVENT

The morning will begin by clearing our energies with blessing herbs as we enter the circle.

You will be introduced to at least 5 plants/trees/flowers, learning their folklore and medicinal properties.

After we walk the land together, we will gather in circle for a guided Tea Meditation. There will be space for reflection and sharing.

You will leave the experience feeling more connected to the land we live on in a gathering of community and plants that you can bring into your kitchen or add to your medicine cabinet.
