Respiratory Allies for Cold + Flu Season

Boost your respiratory system and get ready for cold and flu season with medicinal plant allies! We will taste soothing native respiratory plants such as mullein and plantain, expectorants like white pine and thyme, and uplifters such as sassafras and linden.

In this workshop we will discuss the physical medicine of the plants, their plant spirit medicine, as well as practical applications for integrating these respiratory allies into daily life. Following the wheel of self-care into autumn invites us to tend to the lungs, and let go of sadness, grief and whatever is ready to drop away, in order to create space for the fertile winter darkness. Come learn how to strengthen your lungs and breathe easy all through fall and winter!

Plant Medicine for Chakra Flow

PlantMedicineforChakraFlow.jpeg

For thousands of years the chakra system has offered insights into the flow of our energetic system. Tuning into the chakras is a great way to develop perception, find new inner tools, and work positively with the shadow self and healing wounds. We will review chakra colors, tones, and mantras, and explore using the pendulum, an ancient tool used for divination, connecting intuition with the physical realm. Utilizing the vibrational qualities of plants, we can begin to tune in to the body and psyche in order to assist in balancing and healing the system. We will taste plant preparations corresponding to each of the chakras (such as evening primrose, borage, aster, ghost pipe) and we’ll discuss how herbs can be used for chakra healing. We will also do a chakra plant spirit flower essence journey. Come liberate your inner rainbow!
