February 15: Tree Spirit Medicine Workshop of Willow

The Tree Spirit Medicine of Willow is “Clarity – Knowing Your Path and Purpose.”
Each of us has an inherent purpose and path that we are meant to live. To not do so is the cause of much confusion and suffering. The yearning to live our vision and truth may be postponed, avoided or stifled, but it does not and will not go away. It must be acknowledged and expressed for us to live a joyful, fulfilling life. Willow medicine transforms confusion into clarity that we may come to know who we are and the path we need to walk.
In this workshop participants will directly receive Willow’s gifts of healing, wisdom and guidance by transmission through Monika.

April 5: Tree Spirit Medicine Workshop of Basswood

The Tree Spirit Medicine of Basswood is “Surrender.”
Basswood gifts us the grounding energy of deep, wide roots which create a strong foundation and sense of security, stability, safety and trust. This place of deep rootedness anchors us that we may surrender wholeheartedly and courageously into the depths the Great Mother Mystery, the source of all creation, out of which everything arises and everything returns to be transmuted and reborn. In these numinous depths of infinite potential, we are released from the constriction and resistance of limiting beliefs, traumas and indoctrination into the natural flow of the Mysterious, emptied and receptive to the voice of our own inner knowing.
In this workshop participants will directly receive Basswood’s gifts of healing, wisdom and guidance by transmission through Monika.

June 7: Dream Journeying to the Plant People

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, 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.
“Fabulous life-changing workshop. There is very little out there in the world of workshops to compare with the depth and level at which Monika strives to provide us with, particularly in this subject matter. It contains very high level tools for personal enrichment, all fitting within a day.“
“I really enjoyed the workshop and hope to be able to do more of them with you. It met my expectations, though I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I found your teaching easy to follow and understand. I really enjoyed the group, as well, they were lovely. It’s so nice to have community to discuss these experiences with.”
“I loved it so much and I’m so extremely grateful that I found it and signed up. The experience was profound.“
Date: Saturday, June 7th, 10:00 am to 5:00 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.

July 19: Tree Spirit Medicine Workshop of Oak

The Tree Spirit Medicine of Oak is “Resilience and Adaptation.”
Healthy resilience and adaptation are essential to withstand and navigate adversity and hardship. They support our innate capacity to extract from these experiences the potential blessings they contain so that they may be enfolded into our spirit as wisdom. Just as the Mighty Oak is shaped by years and weather, we too are shaped by our interactions with the world and the unique circumstances of our lives. Knowing we will not be toppled by storms, but will emerge instead hardier, wiser and more capable at their passing, engenders deep self-trust and nourishes that indomitable seed of potential within each of us to grow into our truest expression of self.
In this workshop participants will directly receive Oak’s gifts of healing, wisdom and guidance by transmission through Monika. Experiences will be shared and interpreted so that we may all learn from each other the depth and breadth of Oak’s tree spirit medicine. It will be with you always whenever you need it.
