Plant Wisdom Circle with Elder

In this month's plant wisdom circle we will work with the spirit of the Elder Tree, rich in folkloric story and medicine.

Elder (often called elderberry) supports us in becoming an open intuitive channel, getting comfortable with liminality and surrender, and is a guardian of the threshold between this world and the Otherworld. She is a plant that loves the season of the witch, and these darker, intuitive days.

We will create ceremonial space together, and call in the spirit of Elder. As we share in the plant medicine via the tincture, we channel insights for ourselves, one another, and the collective. The group journeying space creates a strong container for the medicine of the plant to come through.

You will have ample time to sit in silent meditation to connect with the spirit of Elder, and there will be time to share our experiences at the end.

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 at this time of deepening darkness, and when the Otherworld draws near. 

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