Herbs of Venus : Embodied Intuitive Herbalism Workshops

Embodied Intuitive Herbalism Workshops

Do you long for a sacred pause? A moment to listen deeply to what your body longs for? Pathways into connecting deeply with local plants?

Embodied Intuitive Herbalism welcomes you into a space of deep listening, plant connection and embodiment practices. During the workshop we will meet a plant through practices such as tea meditation, guided movement/dance, yoga nidra and sacred songs.

Our intention is to create a space for intuitive listening, embodiment, nourishment and deep relationship with plants.

We will be connecting with one plant per session. The workshops are standalone, but you are welcome to come to all three.

26th May, 2-5pm - Rose
29th September, 2-5pm - Lady's Mantle
10th November, 2-5pm - Marshmallow Root

What you'll need to bring

• wear comfortable and warm clothes (cosy socks and shawl would be great)
• snacks and water if needed
• a notebook for journaling
• pen/coloured pencils/drawing equipment

What you will take home with you

• experience of practices of Intuitive Herbalism
• a Yoga Nidra recording  of our co-created nidra to listen to at home
• a sense of connection and nourishment

What it is

• a group space in which to meet a plant deeply
• a space to explore how each plant lands in your body
• A space in which we ask ‘who is this being, and what is touched in me in this meeting?’ rather than asking ‘what is this plant good for?’
• A space for rest and gentle movement
   

What it isn't

• personal or group therapy
• a space where you will be taught about the medicinal or practical uses of plants

Your Facilitators

Fanny 

Originally from a land of lavender fields and olive groves, Fanny has been dedicated to serving the plants for many years, a journey which has taken her from dreaming with the twilight aroma of Ylang Ylang trees, to digging bare-handed in the forest for Lesser Celandine roots. 

Currently training as an Insight Herbalist at the School of Intuitive Herbalism, she feeds in her experience of dance, embodiment practices, wild living and sacred earth connection to offer a raw, embodied and soulful space in which to meet plants.

Emilia Jane

After a love of plants and nature seeded itself in her early childhood, Emilia Jane has been tending to her plant path since, firstly through community gardening, organic growing and foraging, which led her to herbalism.

Alongside her studies of Intuitive and Folk Herbalism, Emilia Jane studies and practices of Yoga, Yoga Nidra, painting and cyclical practises. She is glad to be sharing her grounded approach to plant connection, through workshops, herbal yoga classes and 1:1 plant sessions. She holds to heart pathways of deep rest and nourishment and is specialising in supporting women's health and well-being.
