During this 2 day workshop we will be honouring and meeting shamanic teacher plants.

• Unfurl your own ability to communicate with these powerful, ancient plant spirits and access their wisdom.
• Work with the invisibles, the plant spirits, and feel the essence of each plants magic.
• Receive messages from the invisibles expressly for you.

The Art of the Invisible weekend does not involve the ingestion of any plant medicines.  Instead we will work with the plants themselves, developing a relationship with the physical body of the plant.  Using both direct perception and heart based cognition we will transcend the physical with a true feeling, a knowing of the individual plants.  To conclude the work with each plant we encounter we will undertake a shamanic journey to meet with the spirit of each plant and ask for a personal message. 

Accessing the wisdom of the teacher plants in this manner is more gentle than ingestion, allowing time for you to really start to know the plant and bring the teachings back into your daily life.  This is the way of the ancients and is the groundwork for deeper interactions between yourself and the teacher plants.  You will not find an indigenous shaman who has not met and acquainted themselves with the physical plant and its spirit before ingesting the sacrament and working with it in far realms.

This weekend will be highly experiential, we will learn from the plants themselves.

Side Note: At this time, interest in ancient teacher plants is rapidly widening, their ingestion as sacrament, as divine medicine, is becoming mainstream.  Yet as quickly as each sacred plant emmerges into the mass consciousness they are being scheduled, made illegal and classified as dangerous drugs.  The truth is they are very powerful and not for everyone.  Part of the reason perhaps being that our cultural context is so distant and foreign from the lands in which these plants traditionally grow and are consumed within sacred ceremonies.  And so despite beautiful and amazing insights experienced during western ceremonies it can be difficult to extract a personal message and to follow through on your insightful thoughts.  Through joining this workshop learn a different way to approach these revered teachers and leave inspired, empassioned and with each plant deeply embedded within your heart...
