I don’t know the old songs —
but if I listen carefully,
maybe the plants will trust me
enough to take me into their
wild green magic
and teach them to me.

Choosing Your Plant
You can choose ANY plant, herb, mushroom, tree, moss or lichen for this series. Perhaps there’s a special plant or tree that you have heard whispering your name or a mushroom that you have an unexplainable interest in. Maybe there is an herb that has come to you in dreams or a plant that you intuitively feel drawn to but aren't sure what to do to connect with them.
Weekly Circles
We will gather each week to discuss our wild companions, reflect on mystical experiences and support each other's journey. We'll share poetry and other inspiration while also tracking the dreams, curiosities and subtle insights that emerge from the time we are spending with our plant or mushroom ally. Each session will offer new rituals, resources and prompts for deeper exploration plus opportunities for sharing and storytelling.
On Your Own
You will receive a ritual guidebook plus journaling prompts as invitations to expand your journey and stay connected to your wild companion in during the days between our gatherings. These offerings are optional, and you can choose to experiment with the ideas that resonate with you.
Week-By-Week Overview
Week One: Preparation
We will review the structure of the series and we will each start thinking about which plant or mushroom ally we will be journeying with for this six week adventure. If you are undecided, Michelle will offer insights and suggestions for how to let a plant choose you! We will discuss intentions and ideas for preparation rituals, review our ritual guidebooks and start our walk along the path of plant spirit medicine.
Week Two: Threshold
We will walk through the Plant Spirit threshold together on this day and start tracking curiosities, synchronicities and other experiences. We'll explore the myriads of ways plants communicate and start attuning ourselves to their mystical language. There will be writing prompts, time for sharing and suggestions for practices that can be done outside of our groups for those wanting to go deeper.
Week Three:
Medicine Journeys
A Plant Spirit Medicine Journey is a way of connecting with the consciousness or spirit of a plant that involves ingesting a tea or engaging in some other medicinal preparation (such as a smoke, oil or essence). However, these journeys do not require a psychoactive plant; all plants have wisdom and the capacity to communicate. There are many ways to journey and we'll explore them together and prepare for our own intimate medicine journeys with our wild companions.
Week Four
Soulcrafting
This week we bring art, mythopoetics and poetry into our time together while becoming curious about the "story under the story". As we continue to track synchronicities, dreams, memories any mystical insights, we look to our wild companion and nature for invitations and ways to deepen our relationships.
Week Five
Initiations & Immersions
This week we explore the practice of plant initiations, nature immersions and dieta-inspired practices. These rituals invite us into extended and intimate connection with our wild companions and offer ideas for creating immersive ceremonies with plants and mushrooms. We will also start discussing the concepts of amplification, integration and embodiment as ways to weave insights, experiences and plant wisdom into our everyday lives.
Week Six:
Integration & Gratitude
As we reflect on our journeys and savor the friendships that have been made - both with our plant allies and each other - we will take time to close our series in gratitude for the green world that supports and nourishes us. We will discuss creative ways to engage in sacred reciprocity and continue the journey beyond the series.
In our bones, we need the natural curves of hills. the whisper of pines. the possibility of wildness. ~Richard Louv
