When: Saturday, September 24th 2016 10:30am – 4:30pm

Where: Leahurst Court, Leahurst Court Road, Brighton BN1 6UN 

Exact location provided after registration (note – unfortunately, venue is on the 2nd floor and not wheelchair accessible)

What: This is a day to connect with plants more deeply, and is a mix of intuitive herbalism (getting to know a plant’s uses through direct experience), and connecting with the metaphysical, or spiritual, aspect of plants. (You don’t need to have experience in herbalism, horticulture, botany etc – any such expertise that people bring will be put aside for the day anyway! )

Some skills we work on are:

-Slowing down to plant speed

-Heart-centered communication with plants

-Listening to the body via various senses

The session is experiential. There will be a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities, and some individual activities as well as paired or group activities.

This is for anyone who:

– loves plants

– wants to deepen their connection with the non-human world

– wants to recover some of the enchantment with nature that they felt as a child

The specific outcomes of this kind of session are different for each person (and sometimes ripples occur in the days and weeks that follow), but all will hopefully leave having had a deeper experience with plants than they routinely have. My sense is that individuals get what is needed for them at the time, and my hope is that people leave with the confidence to continue exploring on their own.

At the end of this kind of session, past participants have reported:

• finding some relief from anxiety
• feeling energized
• finding respite from day-to-day life
• opening up a rich world of relationship and being

Cost: £15/£10 concessions (includes an organic, vegan, gluten-free lunch)
