Magic of Christmas Plants

The Spirit of Winter Solstice and Christmas Plants

Rediscover the magic of Midwinter by connecting with these powerful plants.

Even though reference to Holly, Ivy, Fir and Mistletoe exists in songs and tales, our powerful connection to these Midwinter plants has somewhat disappeared. In this workshop, you will learn more about the traditional ways of working with these plants and create your own personal relationship with them. To achieve this, you will go on a shamanic journey to meet their Spirit and get direct revelation about their gifts and powers.

This workshop is part of the Series:

The Spirit of Nature

Nature is one of the visible faces of Spirit. It is full of teachings, transformation and healing power.

You don't have to travel to the jungle, climb the highest mountains, or take drugs to connect to Spirit plants - nature is all around you; rocks, plants, rivers, trees, the 'weeds' at the edge of the parking lot, the pigeons in the city square. Wherever you live, you will find a bit of nature: There you will feel the connection to the universal life force and receive answers if you ask with respect.

In these workshops, by honouring nature, you will honour yourself.
