Dream Journeying to the Plant People (June 8, 2024)
Awaken your natural capacity to speak with the spirits of plants!
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, I will share my knowledge of how to speak with the spirit of plants in an easy way called ‘dream journeying.’
Dream Journeying has been around since the beginning of time. It is a two-stage process of getting to know the nature of a plant and then dreaming in an intentional way while still awake to meet and commune with its spirit.
We were all born with the ability to speak to plant spirits, and this way of dream learning from plants is available to everybody. You do not need 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.
Date: Saturday, June 8th; 10:30 am to 5:30 pm EST.
Format: You can attend this workshop either in person at Living Earth School of Herbalism in Maple, Ontario, or through Zoom.
Fee: $100. You will receive extensive handouts detailing the process of dream journeying and how to interpret your experiences.
