Plants enChant

with Morgan Brent We will explore some ways to birth or ‘catch’ songs from the deeper strata of the imagination. This discussion includes how these ‘veins’ of the collective consciousness (Gaian Dreamtime) can be understood, the often ‘lost’ treasures of archetypes that exist there, and the genre of songs (‘Gaian Folk’) that emerge from them.    Gaian Folk songs are much about transitioning us out of our history, our ‘Dream of separation’,  and into the dawning ‘Age of remembering’.  We will focus on a few prophecy songs to allow resonance with life @ an elevated frequency, and practice ...

with Todji This is a workshop to learn and practice singing ceremonial songs and to accompanying yourself with percussion or another instrument that you bring, for all levels.  If you wish to learn to sing and play a drum, shaker or clap your hands in rhythm while singing, we will practice this.  I will teach a few ceremonial songs, along with drum and shaker patterns with guitar strums that match, and we will practice the songs and the rhythm separately, and then put them together to create a beautiful offering of ceremonial song!  I wish that all participants come away with new songs, ...

with Melissa Rose Schaefer Building true Gaian reciprocity with our plant kin means first shifting from extractive or distracted paradigms of plant medicine to one of deeper spiritual relationship. We are invited to listen deeply to the voices of the plant realm in order to understand how we may tend reciprocity with these beings, and the whole of the natural world, in both spiritual and practical ways. The deeper relationships forged through reciprocity offer us an opportunity to receive the fullness of the healing, wisdom and magic that the plants have to offer.   In this workshop we ...

Eostar Kamala After the popular weekly Microdosing FAQ Zoom Calls and 6-week Mindfulness in Microdosing Courses that Eostar has been leading, she will talk about her experience in microdosing psychedelics in an intentional and conscious container. Based on her interviews with clients, Eostar found that many people who try microdosing on their own, don’t get much of a result because they do not persevere staying on a protocol over at least a few months period of time. They also often lack guidance or an intentional container.  “Mindfulness in Microdosing” is an answer to a growing demand ...

Ingrid Larson  Communication with plants, animals, and Earth is an innate ability that we all have. Do you have a special connection to a place that you would like to connect even more deeply with?

In this workshop people can ask questions of any being of nature and I’ll relay what they want ...
