The world is changing rapidly. Between Climate change, ecosystems collapse, and the broken political, economic, and social systems, our nervous systems are put under extreme pressure. Yet, your nervous system holds the key to your health and to being able to engage fully in your life.
Herbal medicine and simple rituals aid enormously in moving through these times of evolutionary transformation with more emotional ease, greater mental clarity, and physical and spiritual peace.
Nourishing herbs like oatstraw (Avena sativa) and nettles (Urtica spp.) help us find our strength. Nervines can help with pain relief, deep sleep, and clear skin. We’ll hone in on the gifts of sedating skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), uplifting St. John’s/Joan’s wort (Hypericum perforatum.

Turn it up! Turn it down. Have we come to believe it must be true because it’s loud? Lights flash and voices shout from every corner.
The noise is deafening, and it seems we’ve forgotten how to listen to the softer voices offering wisdom for this Shifting Now. It seems we’ve come to believe for something to be effective it must pack a punch, require extensive travel, pause our daily life, and disrupt. But this is not so.
We can experience the Sacred in this place -- right here, right now. And we will.
Join us as we turn it down, drop into our hearts, and tune into the softer -- but no less sacred -- voice of the plants. Together, we will listen and gather sacred plant medicine right where we are.
In our time together, you will be invited through conversation and participation to open to the possibility of communicating with plants and receiving sacred medicine messages while in a state of normal consciousness.
Space will be held for you to sit and listen with a plant, experience its essence, receive its messages, share your experience (if you choose), and be blessed by the medicine shared by others.

Join us for an exceptional discussion on Embodied Plant Medicine with Amanda Nicole.
What if my body is my basket, and I become the Tulip Poplar tree? The call of the plants is not primarily for them but for me -- a Divine invitation to fully Embody and Be. When I am the vessel holding Nettles' green leaves, the cup remains empty, untouched by tea, and I am the Medicine and the Medicine is me.
Some of the themes we explore:
* Plants as Instruments of Incarnation
* Embodied Plant Medicine -- Becoming the Divine Rose
* Sexual Trauma & Plant Medicine
* Bear as Guide & Companion
* Listening to the Voices of the Land
