Plant Alchemy through the Seasons of the year 2025

Class Description:

Through the cycle of the year we will foster deep connection with the plant realm through art, medicine, tending ourselves and our gardens, and the cultivation of a variety of plants.   Each class will offer up hands on opportunities to work with plants and the beauty and magic they offer.  

These classes will begin around Spring Equinox 2025 and travel through the year to Spring Equinox of 2026.  Each season will offer up a specific plant to work with, and craft or medicine to make.  This series is for folks who are interested in learning more about plants, herbalism,  cultivation, or are interested and wanting to deepen their practices, or folks who have had some experience with plants and are seeking to deepen their relations with the plant realm. 

As a energetic practitioner, herbalist, sound healer, land steward, and teacher I offer up a unique way of working with the plants.  I hope to gift not only a hands on learning experience, but an accessible way to submerge yourself into the abundant wisdom and healing working with plants can offer to our body, mind, and spirit.
