About this Event
FLOW OF THE EVENT
The morning will begin by clearing our energies with blessing herbs as we enter the circle.
You will be introduced to at least 5 plants/trees/flowers, learning their folklore and medicinal properties.
After we walk the land together, we will gather in circle for a guided Tea Meditation. There will be space for reflection and sharing.
You will leave the experience feeling more connected to the land we live on in a gathering of community and plants that you can bring into your kitchen or add to your medicine cabinet.
