ABOUT THIS WORK
Join Clare MacQuade to journey with the physical and spiritual medicine of some of our native trees - Birch, Hawthorn, Willow, and Elder.
These circles are open to all who would like to explore their connection and relationship with the land and trees around us. You need have no prior experience of herbal or shamanic medicine to join.
In each circle, we will gather to explore in depth the medicine of one tree.
We will begin with a guided meditation to ground us into ourselves, our surroundings, and our intentions for working with this medicine.
We will sip an infusion of the tree we are working with, moving through a mindful herbal tea tasting, feeling how the medicine moves through each of us individually and spend some time discussing the medicinal properties in both the physical and spiritual sense and sharing in the lore of the tree.
We will then settle into a guided drumming journey to dream with the tree. There will be space for sharing anything you wish to in circle and grounding in the woodland before closing.
Please bring a packed lunch or snacks, and water.
We will give offerings to the land and trees to honour our relationship with them before beginning. Your offering may be anything you choose so long as it is safe for the animals and earth to be brought to the woodland and left in nature. It need not be big or showy or even a ‘thing’; it may be a song, a prayer, or a way of tending to the land. Your intention offered is the main thing.
ABOUT CLARE
Clare is a consulting Medical Herbalist and Shamanic Practitioner in Edinburgh.
She began her study of herbs in 2005 after meeting them along the way of her own healing path and has worked closely with them, deepening her relationship with and understanding of their medicine with ongoing study and practice, ever since.
Clare began journeying into Shamanic Medicine in 2016 at a turning point in her life, with a year of personal exploration before embarking on practitioner training. This exploration deeply changed the way she related to the natural world around her - the land, trees, plants, animals, and seasons - and the ripples of that change continue move through her personal and professional practice, influencing how she approaches her Herbal Medicine practice as well as her Shamanic Work.
Clare feels a strong call to guide others in anchoring into the energy, seasons, and stories of these lands and in empowering themselves with knowledge of the medicine all around us and how to work with it.
