Do you want to:

• Learn more about plants & their healing properties on all levels - physical, emotional & spiritual?
• Become empowered as you gain the tools to take back a greater degree of responsibility for your own well being?
• Find a deeper level of connection with nature?

The 6 sessions are spread one a month over the growing season.  During the series you will learn to develop the acuity to communicate with plants, not just expressing your needs and wants but to be able to discern a palpable response and turn that into useable information.  This work is highly experiential - you will learn through experiencing, a method which touches each of your senses, and so becomes easier to remember than simply learning from books.

The practical sessions will cover:

• Learning unique processes to help reawaken your capacity to learn directly from plants, to tap into their sacred medicine, spirit essence and guidance.
• Enter the dreaming of the world using shamanic journey and other methods.
• Herbal remedy making (tinctures, oils, salves etc.).
• Foraging for wild greens & their value as a preventative medicine.
• Development of sensory acuity and direct perception.
• Using the heart as the primary organ of perception.
• Accessing your own body wisdom.
• Learning to trancend linear time to "go back" & heal old wounds that are creating current behaviours & patterns that may be detrimental or have an undermining effect on your life.

The course will involve assignments between sessions, to practice your new skills and ensure your relationship with plants and herbal medicines ascends to the next level, the sacred.
