Sitting with Plants is an ongoing hour long community learning and meditation space, facilitated by Hannah Pearl and the plants. This space is dedicated to the wisdom and teachings of our Plant elders, aka Plantcestors.
We humans are the descendants of Plantcestors. We have co-evolved with plants and even share their DNA. They have been earthside far longer than us, which makes them our elders. They have seen it all, and have things to teach us about interdependence, how to live in harmony with the earth, and how to thrive in adversity.
Remembering and reclaiming our inherent kinship with the green world is a vital key on the path towards our survival and liberation as a species.
You are invited to be in this remembering with me. Our Plant teachers have some schooling to do….
Each session will be dedicated to a specific Plantcestor. Our time together includes: a guided meditation inspired by the Plant of the day, a deep dive about the Plant (medicinal uses, history, folklore), and a time to connect as a community through ritual and discussion.

Donations:
The Summer season will be a bit different than the past seasons: for this season, half of your donations will go towards scholarship funding for Hannah Pearl Apothecary! This will help make it more possible for me to extend lower sliding scales to folks who need it, for services such as individual well-being sessions and group classes.
