Women and Earth Medicine
What does it mean to be part of nature? How do we live that in our day to day, now? Humans have evolved over time, through our relationship with the land. The plants as food, medicine and fibre are a deep part of us.
This workshop allows us to be deeply in the present, with the plant kingdom. Earthing, drumming and playful interactions on the land are all part of re-wilding our souls. Spending time with the plants that speak to us, is part of re-building our knowledge. Meeting, greeting, observing and allowing our intuition and the plant kingdom to merge together and remember each other.
Meeting Locations: Meet up info and forms will be e-mailed prior to the outing.
Price per person: $65
