In this 4-hour workshop you will get an introduction to the history, lore, and medicinal use of several poisonous plants. You will learn how to communicate with the spirits of these plants and how to experience their medicine and messages without having to ingest them. We will discuss how poisonous plants can be great allies to healers, therapists, and anyone interested in supporting themselves and others during difficult times.

We will use Shamanic Journeying to deeply drop into the messages of the plants. Through the assistance of ritual staving (using the sound of a staff against the floor in a similar way one would use a drum), mindfulness, divination, and safe, topical application of plant medicine, you will be able to quiet the mind and experience the deep rest that only comes from a truly peaceful mind. This quieting allows for messages to clearly come through that are usually obstructed by the chattering of the thinking mind.

You do not need any prior experience with spiritual work, witchcraft, or herbalism - all levels of experience are welcome.
