There is a longing inside many of us to connect more deeply with the earth.
In our modern world, we’ve been mostly separated from the knowledge and wisdom found in plants. It is time to rekindle this knowing and relationship with the herbal and green realm again.
When the green veil is lifted, you begin to see the world differently. There is a palpable shift when you see—and learn how to work with—the magic and wisdom of the plants and trees, and this can bring you closer to that place of deep remembrance and connection with the earth.
This is an offering and a journey to awaken your senses, attune your instincts, open up your perception, and deepen your ability to commune with and listen to our green allies.
We will learn how to listen to, make magic with, and be in connection with 13 powerful plants.
We’ll journey deeply with one plant at a time. Each month you will receive tips and invitations to connect with each plant including different herbal preparations, and exercises to open up your gateways of perception to communicate with and commune directly.
The intention in this circle will be to sit with one plant, and let the wisdom slowly unfold like a relationship over time.
Some plants you will find more ease to connect with, and others may take awhile to develop. Just like people! We will work with the following plants, and each circle will include:
🌿 A LIVE call
🌿 Connection in community with others on the green path
🌿 A resource guide to help you begin or deepen your journey with each herbal ally
Each plant was chosen for their accessibility to most folks, as well as for the power of their medicine. Even if you have been working with these plants for years there is much to be learned and deepened in our relationship and through direct communion with each green ally.
This is a continued journey for those who’ve participated in the previous Journey with 13 Herbal Allies course.
All of the herbal allies will be new for 2025, and it is a great joy to offer this hands–on circle again.
And remember if you are new to the herbal allies, you are also welcome to join us.
I cannot wait to begin.

NOTE : Herbalism doesn’t have to be put in the place of either or—working with plants can support anything else you are doing to support your system and overall health. All of our ancestors at some point had a deep connection to the land, to the herbs and plants or green realm, to the animals and waters in order to survive. This connection to our roots and deeper belonging was severed, and it is time to reclaim the wisdom we all long for again.
