June 7: Dream Journeying to the Plant People

Plants are fully aware beings that have intelligence and spirit as well as a great deal of wisdom that they are willing to share with us – we need only learn how to hear them.

In this workshop, you will learn how communicate with the spirit of plants through a shamanic process called ‘dream journeying.’ Dream Journeying involves dreaming to the spirit of a plant in an intentional way while still awake (called non-ordinary reality) to meet and commune with its spirit. We all have the innate ability to speak with the plant spirits. This way of dream learning from them is available to everybody and doesn’t require years of specialized training to awaken this inherent gift.

During the workshop, you will meet and dream with a plant that calls to you that will serve as your guide and teacher. By dream journeying to the plant people, you will develop an intimate, two-way relationship with plants and learn directly from them of their wisdom, blessings, messages, and medicines.
