Plant Spirit Weekend
June 25 - 27 (Friday - Sunday), Canaan, Maine (1.5 hours north of Portland)

We'll drink spring waters, meditate in the morning sunshine, walk quietly and carefully on our Earth, harvest medicines and make tinctures, oils, and flower essences, share stories in the evening glow of the fire, and connect deeply with the Spirit of the Plants with whom we are communing.
The program begins at 5pm on Friday evening. We'll share a potluck meal that evening.
Saturday's meals and Sunday breakfast are included in the program.
The program concludes on Sunday at noon.

Summer Herb Kids Camp!
Thursday and Friday, July 8 + 9, 9:00am - 3:00pm
garden in Portland (and surrounding Portland Trails)
For youth entering 6th or 7th grade in the fall
A magical pair of days in our medicinal herb garden preparing delicious teas, oils, salves, and honeys and exploring local trails and forest ecology. There will be much to smell and taste! And so much to bring home! We will hold ceremony and deep acknowledgement of the plants, hear stories of current and ancestral relationship with these green Beings, and explore what it means to trust our intuition.
This is intended for youngsters enamored with the plants who hold the kind of curiosity that makes their eyes shine brightly!
This program will run with a minimum of 6 participants and a maximum of 8 participants. ($140)

We will cover approximately 12 new plants each day, to varying depths. Some we'll REALLY spend time with and taste and hear extended stories about, some we'll see in the garden and hear just a few nuggets about. We'll also hear some names several times over the four sessions, as they support multiple body systems.
Anticipate this as an opportunity for internal exploration as well as external exploration of the natural world - a magical combination.
