Shamanic Herbalism - Honoring and Using Plants of Power
Shamanic Herbalism is an
exploration into the ancient ways of honoring and using plants of
power. Plants of power support the evolution of consciousness and
spiritual growth.
As ancient and indigenous peoples have done since the
beginning of time you will learn how to communicate with plants to tap
into their sacred medicine, spirit, essence and guidance.
Become skilled in using these plants in ceremony for healing, personal
transformation and as ways of reconnecting with the spirit of the Earth. Learn
unique processes to help reawaken your capacity to learn directly from
plants.
Human being's loss of direct connection with the plant spirit world has resulted in many forms of psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual dis-ease. Reconnecting with the plants through ceremonial plant medicines, we are gifted with the recuperative offerings from the heart of Nature.
Shamanic Herbalism is a soulful journey of Self and Spirit that takes us deep into the ancient secrets of the Earth. This truly memorable journey into earth medicine and plant enchantment is one you will not want to miss.
“Plants
have long been primary teachers for those who travel deep into the
heart of the world, for those who seek the soul teaching that only the
wild can bring.”
~Stephen Harrod Buhner
