In this month's plant wisdom circle we will work with the spirit of the Cottonwood tree, a beacon of light and renewal.

Last year with Cottonwood, folks experienced:

Connection to the inner child, warmth + playfulness, deep nourishment, grandmother energy, deep grounding, light in the darkness, an illuminating presence, the heart of the earth being with us, the invitation for slowness in order to regenerate, and more.*

Together we will create a ceremonial space to journey with Cottonwood's medicine. The group journeying space creates a strong container for the medicine of the plant to come through. As we share in the plant medicine, we channel insights for ourselves, one another, and the collective. This ancestral practice of deep intuitive listening and dreaming together is such a potent and important gift to the Earth and ourselves.

You will have time to sit in silent meditation to connect with the spirit of Cottonwood, and I will also lead guided meditation/journey to connect with the spirit of renewal at this mid-winter time.

These spaces provide the pivotal practice of trusting our intuitive inklings, and receiving validation of them within a community setting. Being in intentional space to honor and listen to the plants is an ancestral practice that helps us remember how to be in relationship with the forces of nature. It is a practice that is greatly appreciated by the plants, and it feeds our deep, soul-selves.

Join us in community during the last weeks of Winter to listen to the voices of the Cottonwood trees for our emergence into Spring.

(*I share the information above to help give you a little window into the possibilities of how Cottonwood can work with you, however plant medicines are very personal and your relationship will be unique. Come find out what Cottonwood has to share with you!)

*Create Ceremony

*Journey with the spirit of Cottonwood

*Practice opening your intuitive channel and receiving insight and messages from the unseen world

Sliding scale $25-$45.
