Shamanic Herbalism

Plant Spirit Journey

Gandalf Goes Galactic

This talk frames the plant-induced ‘tripping’ experience and its subsequent integrations in a density-spectrum (rainbow-like) model of reality.   Such deep communions are a kind of practicing on a micro-cosmic level of a sacred shift in conscious awareness (evolution) that is happening on a planetary and galactic scale as well.   Using ‘as above so below’ metaphors, we work with the interstellar Merlin archetype as a Bridger of worlds in its expression as the earth-side (Gandalf) shamanic plant savant.   From there we re-View a whole range of way dialed-up transitioning processes we are currently experiencing as primordial healing activations, a surfacing of what needs to clear from the system to allow vibrational space for an upleveling.  Meaning things get worse before they get better!  

So, while it may look like the worlds within and without are unraveling and falling apart, might it all actually be coming  . .  . Together?  And if so, how might we best position ourselves in this great Adventure?   

Cacao & Rose ~ Connective Journey

Embodied Relating and Transformational Breathwork

Soul Alchemy is a journey weaving together the sacred medicines of cacao and rose, embodied relating, and transformational breathwork. This experience is designed to open your heart, deepen authentic connection, release somatic blockages and activate your inner wisdom and highest expression.

🌿 Cacao & Rose Ceremony 🌿

We begin by inviting the gentle yet powerful plant spirits of cacao and rose to guide us. These heart-opening allies help us connect to our intuitive channels, expand creativity, and step more fully into our authentic selves—both individually and in connection with others. We will be working with ceremonial cacao from the Quillabamba region of Peru, alongside the potent feminine medicine of the white rose. Through  ceremonial space, intention-setting and plant song, we will open our container to invite these plant spirits to guide our personal and collective journey. 

Kava Social

Songs for the Elements and Plants

Come join a song circle focused on songs about elements and plants. Through call and response we will learn songs that honor the wind, fire, earth water and how these elements live and move through us. Calling in our plant allies, we will sing songs for the plants. We will sing sweet songs and also powerful songs of resilience through climate change and catastrophe.

enChanting Plants Song Ceremony

What if our creation as humans had one purpose only?

And that purpose is to sing…
Created because water wants to hear us sing.
Because the sky wants to hear us sing.

Plants want to hear us sing.
We will feel into this possibility…

Recognizing our voice’s natural, distinct and unique capacity within the natural world. Different than all other beings. We will sing with the recognition that the plants are thirsty for our voices, hungry for our harmonies, craving our connection. We will offer thanks to the natural world through song, as though our song was specifically and earnestly requested.

Walking with the Plant Spirit

 (tentative)

Walking with the plant spirit is a somatic workshop that guides us through a journey of connecting with the metaphysical spirit of the plant kin. We will be going over what each plant symbolically represents, with the moon, house crafting , and the magic each plant brings.  

Shamanic Plant Ceremony with Fireweed

Join us in ceremony with Fireweed. We will work with a vibrational essence and tincture from the plant, do guided shamanic journeys, and sing and tone with the plant spirit.
The focus of these plant ceremonies is to
– experience a healing from the plant spirit
– develop a working relationship with the plant
– be introduced to the plant’s wisdom
– learn how its medicine pertains to you and your community.
Years ago, in an ayahuasca ceremony, the Oak tree showed up Jan, and stated that he wanted a ceremony. We did a ceremony for Oak in 2021. Every year since then, a new plant has stepped forward to have a ceremony. In 2025, it is Fireweed’s turn.
Fireweed is the first one to appear after a forest fire, when a forest has been clear cut, after a volcanic eruption and other disturbances.

The Haida people of the Pacific Northwest believe that fireweed is a symbol of resurrection and rebirth. The plant’s quick regrowth after fires is seen as a reminder that new life can emerge from destruction.

In the Tlingit tribe of Alaska, fireweed is believed to represent the transformation of negative energy into positive energy. The plant’s ability to thrive in areas affected by forest fires is seen as a metaphor for the human capacity to overcome adversity and emerge stronger.

… and from flower essence descriptions, we have:

“Fireweed flower essence assists the restoration of one’s self after a devastating loss.”

Indications: shock or trauma; energy stagnation on any level; feeling burned out; weak connection to the earth. 
Healing Qualities: strengthens the grounding connection to the earth; helps break up and move out old energy patterns that are being held in the etheric body so that new cycles of revitalization and renewal can be initiated.

Heart of Nature Song Circle

Songs in praise of natures wonder and majesty, songs to remember that we are woven intricately and inextricably into the web of life. The wisdom from root to fruit lives inside our bodies, the miraculous seed of creation planted inside our hearts.

The Spiritual Technology of Amazonian Master Plant Dietas

Have you done an Amazonian Master Plant Dieta(s), or participated in something similar to connect with the spirit of plants?  This is an opportunity to learn and share experiences. 

Todji did 22 Master Plant Dietas in Peru and Brazil over the course of 17 years, and can share some of his experience, and he is interested to hear about yours. 

The “Dieta” is a mysterious spiritual technology that has an architecture that can be experientially learned.  There are big risks and big rewards.  Get an idea of what they are before you embark. 

Were the ancient magical civilizations working with medicine plants with similar methods and spiritual technology? 

Are we in the entryway of a collective new portal of mediumistic relationships with higher than human consciousnesses that can come through channels opened by Master Plant Dietas? 

The language barrier is real and the information is important, so come share and learn so we can make our best decisions; we are in this together!

Western Red Cedar

The Medicine of Belonging

Red Cedar helps us understand our place here on Earth, a place that is intricately interwoven with all Life. She helps us to feel held, and guides us into our seat of center so that we can feel sturdy enough to emanate our truth, and share what’s ours to share for the collective. 

In this ceremonial workshop we will be guided by Red Cedar’s medicine to find a sense of safety and belonging in our bodies and align with our truth within. We will journey with Red Cedar to receive embodied healing, and insights about claiming not only our belonging, but also our unique medicine for these times. You’ll be guided to connect with a landscape of empowerment within you that’s inextricably connected to your medicine.

Nature Communication ~ Experiences with Land Devas

Land Devas can work with us to harmonize our interactions with the land we inhabit and with the nature spirits that surround us.

We will spend some time allowing ourselves to be guided by the Land Devas that care for the space at this event—listening to what is important for them to tell us, and then asking them any questions we would like together as a group. Once the Land Devas feel complete, the communication will continue flowing in alignment with the unique energy of those present. We may speak with animals, plants, fungi, or nature spirits that present themselves.

We are always communicating with the beings around us, whether or not we are aware of it, but we will learn a few techniques to experience Land Devas more fully. These techniques can also be used to increase awareness of nature spirits. By the end of the workshop, participants will be empowered to practice communicating with the Land Devas at their homes, as well as with any other being they wish to communicate with.
