Working with plants as living, evolved, complex beings and coming to them from a place of reverence, allows access to a deeper medicine. In this way plants can act as our allies and be profoundly helpful, not only for physical ailments, but also on our personal spiritual journey.
Develop your intuitive senses to work with plants for mind, body and spirit. During the weekend you’ll find your own plant ally to work with at this stage your in life’s journey and we’ll prepare an essence from your plant to take home and use.
