Magic and Medicine, A retreat to inspire connection all realms - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual

When we’re rooted in our own lineage and knowing as herbalists, we can sweep past distraction, overwhelm, dislocation, and lethargy. We light up with consistent passion, motivation, empowerment, and vitality - not only as healers, coaches, and teachers, but in everything we do.

We can take back our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, and be guides for others who wish to do the same, creating a movement of folks ready to get off the Whole Foods bandwagon and step fully into true vitality, interdependence and creativity.

We can find the spiritual practices and rituals that do not come from outside of us but that connect deeply within, into our hearts, into the song of our ancestors, into the potency of remembering, and forge an unbreakable bond to the plants and the rest of the web of life to find the answers and the medicine that this world so desperately needs.

It's easy to get caught up in being 'busy' and forgetting to prioritize your spiritual self and so this June I am beginning a quest to immerse myself in daily practice and discover my own power and strength. 

During the month I will gather, grow, and chop herbs. Make herbal infused, enchanted honeys, vinegars, tinctures, salves, body care products, and teas, all with an eye and heart-string on deep listening for the medicine that the plants dream of sharing with us.

I will spend time in fields, meadows, mountains, wild open spaces, cultivated medicinal gardens, and other earthy places. Delve into the practices of sustainable, respectful wildcrafting and herb cultivation in both the city and country.

There will be a focus on new plants and practices I am less familiar with. I will learn the practical science of herbal medicine. This course will be grounded in the practical application of herbs for human health as much as it will be magical. Learn more about herbal energetics, moon magic, herbal magic, the healing properties of plants, and the many different forms that medicine can take: essential oils, flower essences, tinctures, and more.

Begin each morning with a witchy ritual to wake up my inner knowing, ancestral memory, make a wild brew, and in-drink knowing from a place of deep intentions for healing, the healing of ancestors and descendants, and Mother Earth.

This focused, devoted, intense deep dive is exactly what my spirit has been calling out for and dreaming of since being quieted and put aside during the last few years. I'll be posting rituals, outings and my progress here so that you can follow along on my journey. I'd love to hear about your own experiences and if you're planning to do a self-guided retreat this year! Feel free to leave a comment below ✨🧙🏻‍♀️
