You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

Join herbalist, medicine woman, and plant spirit teacher Marysia Miernowska for a nourishing, magickal weekend of deep communion with the Earth, Waters, Autumnal Air, and Eternal flame within you.

In a safe and sacred container, you will be guided in:

  • Shamanic Tea Meditations
  • Drinking herbs for the Fall
  • Entering restorative states of embodied meditation
  • Connecting to the land and elements
  • Making herbal medicine from the land to take home
  • Making flower essences
  • Plant ID and learning about nourishing medicinal herbs, many which likely grow around you.
  • Earth based rituals & journal prompts
  • Wildcrafting and gardening

Through restoring the ancient knowledge of folk healing and plant medicine, we hope to heal the separation that has occurred between ourselves and nature and awaken a collective passion to protect this Earth we all call home.
