Plants for Our Times: Goldenrod

A MULTIDIMENSIONAL INITIATION AND BOTANICAL EMPOWERMENT WITH SOLIDAGO

The Earth is calling on humans to rise in defense of our planetary future. As we navigate this era of turbulent change, we can ally with plants to fortify our bodies and amplify our resilience. Plants have the power to expand awareness and heal collective wounds when we connect with them in heartfelt ways. In this experiential and immersive evening, you will be initiated in the healing power of Goldenrod—learning how to speak in the language of plants and reclaiming your human right to be guided by the intelligence of nature.

To unify with the vibrational resonance of Goldenrod and enter its conscious field, we will begin with a ceremonial cleansing and blessing with the Goldenrod plant as we are bathed in the soothing sound waves of gong.

Through conscious ingestion of a special Goldenrod elixir made in ceremony for this evening, we will connect with Goldenrod in our bodies, merging fully with its healing intelligence as we learn about its medicinal qualities. In a guided meditation, activating all of our senses, we will cultivate telepathic connection with Goldenrod, deciphering its unique messages for our circle and the collective.

Supported by the magical power of the drum, we will then take a journey to meet Goldenrod in the spiritual realms, solidifying our new friendship and completing the energetic transmission of its healing gifts that we now have the privilege and honor to carry forward and share with others.

You will go home with an expanded understanding of your relationship to plants, and tools to connect with the natural world in new ways.

Bring a journal and pen.
