Greetings,

Thank you for your interest in this workshop! These teachings are very close to my heart, and I am pleased to be offering them at this time. Grief is a sacred thread that is woven into the fabric of human experience. Just as humans have co-evolved alongside our plant friends, plants have in turn co-evolved alongside our various forms of grief.

This is an introductory workshop rooted in the relationship between plant medicine and grief. It is meant to be a practical and accessible approach to grief tending through rituals as simple as brewing a cup of Rose tea and drinking it quietly. My intention is for each participant to come away with an expanded toolbelt for ways to relate with their grief when it arises, and ways to be able to support their loved ones with what will be offered during our time together. 

We will also discuss the medicinal aspects of grief, and how a true honoring of grief can open one to greater compassion for oneself and others.

Important Note: This is not a “grief support group”, meaning that you will not be expected to do the emotional labor of baring your soul to a zoom room full of people you may or may not know, or the labor of holding space for others. This space is for you to be held, to rest, receive, and to seek the solace of our plancestors. In this way, we will be centering the plants and their wisdom.

Workshop includes:

• An introduction to an ancient council of Plant Elders, AKA Plancestors, who are particularly supportive for the grief process, with affinities for the heart, lungs and nervous systems. Some of the plants joining us will include- Rose, Hawthorn, Willow, Motherwort, Borage and beyond.

• Ritual suggestions for grief tending

• Optional writing prompts

• Guided Meditation

• Recording of the workshop

• A bottle of Hannah Pearl Apothecary’s “When Hearts Sing” grief support formula which will be mailed to you prior to the workshop (or pick up available for Bay Area folks)
