A Deep Dive into Plant Connection
Join us for a journey of plant study that is guided largely by the plants themselves. This program is intended for those who wish to take their knowledge and understanding of plants as healing agents to another level. It's for those looking to narrow their lens and intensify their focus, to discover unique characteristics and subtle nuances within plants. Through this program, the plants' medicine is illuminated and a space opens up in which the plants can step in to become our teachers, our muses and our friends.
In the Plant Immersion Program, each participant works with one particular plant throughout the entire season. Through committed focus on the plant, as well as recorded impressions through writing, drawing and other forms of expression, there is much that is gleaned. I offer a framework, and guided support as needed, but this learning is largely self directed, so that you have the opportunity to explore in any direction that you feel pulled. As the season progresses, the learning eventually moves into a study of recorded knowledge, experience and lore surrounding the plant, which continues to enhance the immersion and deepen the connection between plant and person.
At each class, each participant shares some of their discoveries with the group. At a particular time, each participant will also prepare and share with the group a medicine made from their plant. While you work closely with your own special plant, you also glean teachings from other participants as they move through the same process with a different plant.
The medicine of plants is multifaceted and ever-evolving. Learning plant medicine is an endeavour that never stops. It is not just about learning a physical medicine to be taken internally or applied topically. Plants have a vibrational component that can inspire and transform. The Plant Immersion Program aims to open the doors to this possibility, and to hold space for it to take shape.
At each class, we will also focus on one of the elements (air, water, fire, earth, ether), examining the ways that they show up in the plants that we're studying, as well as in other plants that we encounter here. Becoming more familiar with the elemental influences on the plants, and on humans, we can find more wisdom in choosing the particular medicines and foods most appropriate for our wellness at particular times.
The program runs on Sundays, from May-September 2024. Each class runs from 10 am - 4pm on the following dates:
May 5th
June 9th
July 7th
August 25th
September 29th
A delicious plant based lunch is included, infused with some of the wild and locally cultivated foods of the season, and prepared by my husband, Chef Chris Byrne
The Plant Immersion Program takes place here at our farm in beautiful Prince Edward County.
For this type of program, I prefer to limit space to a small group.
