Plant Wisdom: A Mind, Body, and Medicine Workshop

Saturday, May 9th, 2pm - 3pm on the trails

This immersive workshop invites participants to slow down and connect with the plant world in a way that is both deeply personal and practically grounded. Through a guided plant spirit meditation and gentle, mindful movement, participants are led into a quiet awareness of the plant they are working with — tuning into its presence, energy, and essence in a way that goes beyond the purely intellectual. This contemplative experience is woven together with rich, accessible teaching on the plant's medicinal properties, traditional uses, and real-world applications, giving participants both a felt sense of the plant and the practical knowledge to confidently work with it. Whether you are new to herbal medicine or deepening an existing practice, this workshop offers a rare blend of intuitive connection and clinical grounding, leaving you with a meaningful relationship with the plant and the tools to bring its healing gifts into your everyday life.
