In these gatherings, we request the wisdom of the plant kingdom and discover how we can work with them to support us in our self healing. We explore their physical properties, traditional uses and, as we shamanic journey, we ask for their guidance and spiritual teachings.

In this circle, a few days before Samhain (Halloween), we connect with the bountiful Gourd. 

The circle is every 2 weeks and at each gathering we work with a different member or aspect of the plant kingdom to connect, discover and honour their own individual medicine. The plant we will be working with may sometimes be in the title of the event and at other times we may be guided on the night!

Joining The Circle

You can secure your place by booking online. The circle is a closed online meeting where we (currently) connect through Zoom, an online webinar platform. You can participate either with or without video, on a laptop, smartphone, chromebook or tablet.

On securing your place, the online link and passcode for you to access the circle for the date you have booked will be in your ticket confirmation email and in the reminder email sent before the event - each circle will have a different online link and passcode.

If you have a ceremonial rattle or drum, please feel free to bring this to the circle to use in our journeying. If not, please do not worry as I will drum and guide us for our journeying. You do not need experience of shamanic journeying to join this circle.

Plant Medicine Circles are held every 2 weeks - if you would like to secure your place for upcoming circles or regular participation, future dates are on the Plant Medicine Circle events page. You can also secure your place at future circles by booking several dates in advance here - each Zoom meeting link will be sent to you.

Creating Your Sacred Space

To prepare for the session, find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed and which feels comfortable and warm. You may wish to have a plant or flowers present in your space during the circle. Depending on the plant we are working with at each circle, it may also be useful to have a little of the plant or to source a picture of the plant to reference but this is not required to participate. 

It is often useful to have a pen and paper to hand to write down any experiences you may have during the shamanic journeying time of the webinar and a blanket handy for during or after the shamanic journeying.

After The Circle

Be sure to drink plenty of water afterwards. If you feel a little light headed, eat a light snack and rest if you need to.
