We invite you to join us in this powerful and immersive Plant Medicine Journey with Somatic Psychotherapist and Shamanic practitioner Maria Stay and Ruth Weaver BSc. (Hons) Medical Herbalist.

This is the second in a four part series of our Journey in to Plant Medicine workshops. In each, we are learning, somatically experiencIng, moving with and journeying with a native medicinal plant.

In this months workshop we will be exploring the wondrous Angelica Archangelica- Norwegian Angelica - ‘The Herb of the Angels’. Angelica is a medicinal plant used for conditions of the mind and heart as well as a multitude of other health conditions.

This session is a deep immersion into the medicine and magic of a Angelica through embodied practices where the traditional, scientific and energetic insights meet with myth, story, archetypes and spirit- culminating in a guided plant medicine journey.

Ruth and Maria weave together teachings from the medicinal and shamanic disciplines to offer a deep connection with the medicinal, psychosomatic and spiritual uses of the plant whilst creating a unique platform to explore what insights this plant holds for your individual physiology.

We will venture through different uses and applications of the medicine, both current and historical and how you can integrate it in to your medicinal tool box.

Breath, movement and proprioceptive practices will move us towards the mythical and ritual felt sense of this plant before delving in to a shamanic journey to discover how we can both support and be supported by this medicine.
