PLANT ALLIES

Identify specific plant friends that really work to support your joy, energy and mood.

Create relationships with medicine plants for depth and potency in your herbal walk.

Wild-hearted herbalism needs to move beyond simply matching herbs to symptoms. The depth of healing needed in the world requires us to reclaim our connection with medicine plants as teachers and allies.

This 5 week Plant Allies course is designed to awaken your capacity to learn directly from the plants, and give you confidence and clarity in working with herbs in clinical practice, personal use and spiritual arts.

This course teaches Embodied Plant Listening - inspired by Amazonian Dieta traditions, and Stephen Harrod Buhner's heart perception work. You will receive numbered bottles of herbal tinctures, and each week the whole group will take the herb three times daily, at a low dose, and engage in a daily reflection process. Taking the herb blind allows you to develop your non-rational perception, without your mind interfering.

Plant Allies is designed for herbalists, naturopaths, rewilders, plant walkers of all types and those on a wild path of healing.
BONUS: Your daily plant attunement homework is a moment of self-connection, reflection and stillness - bringing you not just plant wisdom but a meditative practice for plant folk.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is this an online course?
Kind Of! Most of the classes are online in small groups, but I have worked hard to make this as interactive, dynamic and embodied as possible. You will have your physical journal and herbal learning kit, as well as the 4 day immersive retreat in the middle.
What do I get when I sign up?
You will receive two herbal learning kits in the post - valued at $150. These include 4 bottles of tinctures, plus a plant connection journal.
You’ll also get instant access to the bonus mini-course “The Foundations of Ancient Herbalism”.
Are the classes recorded if I miss one?
There is a recorded class on each plant if you miss the live classes, or want to revisit the content (you will definitely want to do this!). The powerful experiences and observations of the group are key to the depth of this course, and are only available live. If you can’t commit to at least 70% of the live classes, I don’t recommend you join.
How many people are in the course at once?
I’m committed to dynamic, interactive classes, which means I cap each group at 15 people. This means I have to charge a little more than some online teachers, it’s beyond worth it!
What does this require of me?
All you need is 10-15 minutes of your day for personal practice, plus 2 hours per week for the group calls. It works best when you are able to commit to the process (the plants like this better too!) and be fairly stable in your routine. Don’t sign up if you are planning on travelling a lot, are pregnant/postpartum or in a party-hard phase of life. You just won’t be able to tune in to the plant in the way the course requires.
What is your cancellation policy?
I offer a full refund up until 20 days before the first class. I take very small numbers of students, and pay for retreat venue, catering, herbal supplies and more for each student enrolled. Between 20 days and the first class, I offer a 50% refund for cancellations.
Once the course has started, if you need to drop out for personal hardship reasons then you can join in a future group to continue your journey.
