All plants have their own unique energy and healing wisdoms. Learn how to tune into a plant using one or more of your five clair senses (clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc.) to personally receive plants' healing messages. We will use guided drumming meditation to tune into the plants in the garden, and will discuss some of the local medicinal species and the medicines they offer. Meditations will be lead outside, so dress appropriately for the weather.
