Deepening the Circle Plant Spirit (Deva) and Spiritual Herbalism Class

Spring 2025 Overview

🌿 Intentions and Outcomes for this Class 🌿
✨ Deepen your understanding of the sacred relationship between humans and the plant world.
✨ Learn rituals to engage with plants on a spiritual level.
✨ Gain hands-on experience creating medicines, teas, essences, tinctures, and more.
✨ Explore the art of herbal crafting—incense, sachets, and handmade sacred items.
✨ Create spiritual tools, poppets, talismans, and altar pieces.
✨ Connect with kindred spirits on this path of learning and transformation.

I warmly invite you to join me in a series of workshops dedicated to deepening our bond with our Plant Relatives and with one another. Together, we will honor the Spirits (Devas) of the plant world, listening to their wisdom, witnessing their cycles of life and transformation, and learning how to walk in harmony with their energies.

From seed to table, tea to pillow, and back to Earth, we will practice plant allyship, medicine-making, and spiritual work through ritual, reflection, study, and hands-on creation.

Each 4-week session is offered on a sliding scale of $100-$200. You are welcome to pay in advance or in smaller, more manageable installments—please reach out to me personally to find a plan that works best for you.

For all in-person classes, I will provide a Community Cook Brunch of fruit, eggs, and bread, sharing in the nourishment of body and spirit.

🌿 Spring and Nettles: A Time of Renewal 🌿

Spring is the season of Nettles—a time for waking, cleansing, and moving stagnation from our bodies and spirits. Nettles teaches us that the sting of transformation is also the gift of healing.

Come spend four Saturdays in my garden, surrounded by the whispers of green, as we take a deep dive into the powerful and often misunderstood essence of the Plant Deva, Nettles.

I look forward to sharing this sacred journey with you. 💚

This version keeps the warmth and spirituality while making the flow more inviting and engaging. Let me know if you'd like any adjustments! 🌿✨
