Deepening Plant Connections and Exploring the Realm of Plant Spirit Medicine

There is an art to learning medicine directly from the plants, to becoming so intimately entwined with them that we can merely hold a plant in the heart and transmit its healing energy into others. These secret teachings are becoming increasingly rare, so don’t miss this opportunity as Laura Clemmons guides you through the profound practice of Plant Spirit Medicine. Immerse yourself in the art of sitting with plants, attuning to their wisdom and listening deeply to their healing messages. This class offers an opportunity to enhance your intuitive voice through a deeper communion with plant wisdom.
