These seasonal workshops focus on getting to know some of our seasonal plants more intimately, using our senses and intuition as well as practical interaction and creative writing.
During our spring workshop, we'll work with daisy, heather and yarrow.
We'll visit each of these plants; discussing our intuitive observations when we meditate beside them, exploring the sensations they provoke when handled, smelt and tasted, and connecting all these characteristics to their medicinal actions and practical use. We'll also dive a little deeper into their folklore and stories, and creatively play with some plant dreaming and poetry.
From cough curing syrups to anti-inflammatory teas, fever fighting flowers, energy protecting auras and affirmative incense...you'll definitely be leaving with a deeper connection to these three!
