SOOTHING THE SOUL: Herbal Gateways for Grief and Loss

SOOTHING THE SOUL 
HERBAL GATEWAYS FOR GRIEF AND LOSS

How plant medicine can offer solace

Grief touches us all at different moments in life, arising from personal loss, collective sorrow, or the deep shifts of the earth herself. This workshop offers a nurturing space to explore herbal allies that can help hold and guide us through the many faces and stages of grief—from the shock of loss to the long, aching waves of sorrow that can feel never ending. 

Together, we will work with plants such as hawthorn, Reishi, passionflower, skullcap, oat seed, and wood betony, alongside the gentle power of flower essences, to support the heart, mind, and body. 

Return to embodied wholeness with these allies that nourish your heart while experiencing grief

We will explore how these herbs can help balance the physical and emotional toll of grief, soothing nervous exhaustion, tending to heartbreak, and offering strength for the journey ahead. Whether you are navigating personal loss, carrying collective grief, or feeling the weight of earth changes, this workshop invites you to connect with nature’s wisdom for solace, resilience, and renewal.

Connect with plant spirits and develop communion with these herbs to access a greater sense of coping and moving with grief, allowing the heart to open, vulnerability and loss to feel more supported and a sense of hope in the future. 

What you will receive:

- Knowledge of specific herbs and flower essences to support different stages of grief. 

- Practical techniques for incorporating these herbal allies into your daily life. 

- Insights into the physical and emotional effects of grief and how to address them holistically. 

- A deeper connection with nature's wisdom and tools for fostering resilience and hope

- Workshop replay link for each registered person.
