A guided meditation to discover the physical, emotional, spiritual and magical virtues of a plant.
No previous meditation experience, or plant knowledge, is required. Although there are physiological aspects to plant-human connection, learning from plants directly is usually described as ‘plant journeying’ or ‘intuitive herbalism’, as often detailed and consistent information is relayed to participants who do not know each other, or even which plant they are holding. This experience can be transformative in how you perceive not just the plants and trees around us, but your own intuitive and perceptive capabilities, too.
