About this Event

🌱 What are Plant Connection Circles?


Guided wellbeing events designed to help you:

  • Reconnect with nature and local plants
  • Restore your nervous system and emotional wellbeing
  • Learn about herbal medicine, plant support, and ecology
  • Feel more grounded, inspired, and connected
  • Support local community gardens and climate action


Each session lasts approx. 3 hours and focuses on a different local plant explored through learning, tea, breath, sound, and reflection.



✨ What you’ll experience


Plant exploration with Wendy Dooner

  • Medicinal uses and health benefits
  • Climate and ecological role
  • Tea tasting ceremony




Guided breathwork, sound and visualisation with Ishka


  • Breathwork, music and live instruments to support deep relaxation and inner connection
  • No experience needed



Simple, practical ways to support the earth

  • How to grow, support pollinators, and relate more consciously to plants
  • How to get involved with local green spaces




🌀 About Breathwork

Breathwork is a guided practice using conscious breathing, music, and sound therapy to help you:

  • Calm the nervous system
  • Release stress and tension
  • Feel more grounded and connected
  • Access insight, clarity, and emotional wellbeing

This is a gentle, music-led breathwork journey focused on relaxation, emotional release, and connection - not a push-your-limits or hyperventilation style.


Ishka Breathwork is safe, trauma-aware, and fully guided.


No prior experience is needed and everything is provided.

You are always in control of your experience and can pause, sit up, or step outside at any time.

Breathwork is generally very safe, but extra care is needed with certain conditions (e.g. PTSD, panic attacks, some heart conditions, epilepsy, pregnancy). All participants are required to sign a waiver form before the session.

Please get in touch if you are unsure or have any questions before booking.



🌿 Who it’s for

These circles are:

  • Friendly, welcoming & inclusive
  • Open to all adults (18+)
  • Suitable for beginners and experienced people alike
  • A calm, supportive space to explore something new and meet like minded people


You do not need any knowledge of plants, meditation, or breathwork.



📅 About the series

There are three linked sessions, each focusing on a different plant.

You can attend one, two, or all three - each session stands alone but together they form a deeper journey.


🌿 Circle 1 - Nettle (Saturday 28th February)

Often seen as a ‘W**d’, nettle is one of our most powerful local super-plants. Traditionally used to support the blood, joints, allergies, and overall vitality, it’s deeply nourishing and restorative. Nettle helps us build boundaries, resilience, and a strong sense of self.


🌿 Circle 2 - Elderflower (Saturday 14th March)

Elderflower is traditionally used for the immune system, respiratory health, and seasonal support. It brings lightness and softening - helping us release tension and reconnect with the subtler, more spacious parts of ourselves.


🌿 Circle 3 - Hawthorn (Saturday 28th March)

Hawthorn is one of our greatest heart medicines, traditionally used to support emotional and physical heart health, circulation, and nervous system balance. Hawthorn invites us to feel safe enough to open, reminding us that true resilience comes from connection.




💚 Community and Climate Impact
  • 100% of paid ticket income is donated to local community gardens, supporting food growing, composting and biodiversity and community climate action
  • A number of spaces are funded by Dundee Changemakers for people facing financial or cultural barriers - if you know someone who would be keen to attend but this applies to, please get in touch to find out more
