KIN

Ancestral + Native Plants

A MONTHLY space of EARTH CONNECTION .
Weaving a reciprocal relationship with our human and beyond human kin.

As October is a time when the veils between worlds feel much thinner (the heavy air and outwardness of summer lifts to the freshness of fall air and the inward pull of deeper listening), it offers a beautiful moment for ritual, magic, and connection.
Together, we will explore this sacred space through tea meditation, medicine making, and a drum journey in honor of Samhain, tapping into the wisdom of our ancestors and the land itself.

May this space serve whatever intention you’d like to receive for yourself.
May it be a space of connection + healing + beauty + joy + liberation.

I look forward to gathering with you and the plants this month! See you in class <3

Land Communion Meditation

  • Come as you are. Set up in a quiet and comfortable space where you will be undisturbed. Have support you may need to sit for meditation.

    Infuse your plant for tea. Depending on your plant, maybe you would want to do an overnight infusion, or simply infuse for 20 minutes before. If you don't know for your plant, please reach out and I can help!

    • incense/sacred smoke + a light.

    • a journal + pen.

Drum Journey

    • Set up in a comfortable space where you will not be disturbed.

      Prepare your space to be as dimly lit as possible. Have your blinds down if it is daytime, etc.

      Set up on the floor with cushions, support, and whatever you need to feel comfortable to sit and lay down on the floor.

      Prepare an altar if you feel called to, with objects that will support your journey - if any. Maybe it is ancestral items you have, totems of protection, your plant allies in a bowl.

      Have a candle lit with you as well, if you are able to.

      Come as you are - in comfortable clothing.

      Prepare yourself for ceremony in whatever way feels good to you. Maybe it's anointing your body with oils, clearing your body with sacred smoke, laying on the Earth outside.

      If you are able - I invite you to shower/bathe before ceremony to wash off the day/night. & sacred smoke cleanse your space.
