Plant Wisdom Circle with St. John's Wort

In this month's plant wisdom circle we will work with the spirit of the St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum), a bright beacon of sunshine medicine that also has such deep comfort and teachings of the darkness.

I've always worked with Hypericum around Summer Solstice when they're blooming, but each time, I sense the deep relationship with the darkness that wants to be explored more. SO I promised him we'd sit with him in a community circle in the darkest days.

St. John's Wort helps us receive more light into our energy system, and step into the brightness of our own light. This plant often targets the solar plexus, and helps us stand more fully and confidently in our true identity. 

St. John’s Wort has been worked with for at least 2,000 years for magical protection, clearing unwanted energies, and keeping away demonic forces.

It is said that no evil can co-exist in the same space when St. John’s Wort is present.

Last year, folks experienced: the medicine of accepting who they are fully, following their joy, seeing aspects of their identity and allowing themselves to be who they are without controlling themselves, a sense of watering the seeds of who they are, healing their relationship with fire, and a general sense of being deeply supported.*

Together we will honor the darkest night and ever-lasting light by creating ceremonial space to journey with St. John's Wort'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 via the tincture, 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. 

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 deep introspective time of attuned listening to the spiritual lights within.  

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

Sliding scale $35-$55.

The messages and wisdom that is received in these plant circles is then shared as medicine for the collective in my Plant Wisdom Circle Podcast. The plants have asked that their messages be spread far and wide. And you get to be a part of this!

I record the sharing circle on my phone to be used only for my own personal use in organizing the messages that come through the group, and afterwards it will be deleted.
