HGU 2: Deepening, An herbal journey for women
March 23, 2019 to February 29, 2020 ~

Tuition: $1400.

​

 

A Wise Woman's Herbal Journey 
 

This is a journey for women harboring a secret desire

for cultivating intimacy with Earth through

the sensuous practice of life. 

~An experience of living into the place you inhabit, of being one with Earth~

 

In HGU2 you will explore the language of plants by integrating the tools of the botanist, developing the eyes of the naturalist and deepening the meaning and use of herbs for the wise woman herbalist.

 

A Wise Women's Herbal Journey is an opportunity to join with women and experience the rich, potent history of the wisdom tradition of women through time, with women today and for women yet to come. 

A ritual, an offering, a shared experience…

​

As we journey through the year and a day together...
we recognize who we are...
we do what we've come to do on this beautiful

blue-green planet hurtling through space...

We laugh! We cry! We rejoice!

It's time!

To join together, as women, for a year and a day. Let us see ourselves, nourish ourselves, and celebrate each other. Together, we create our world in ways yet to be imagined… 

​

Interested? 

​

 

We set out on a journey! Marking a route, leaning into the rhythm of land and sky and sea. Together, we create an earth-centered, woman-honoring celebration complete with 

connection, ceremony and transformation 
climaxing in a rendezvous with life! 

​

This offering is a synthesis of my 45 years practice as an herbalist~gardener, pilgrim~adventurer, grandmother~earth-keeper and lover of life. Combined with the stories each woman brings to the table,  these ingredients slowly marinate over the course of the journey and simmer into a

sweet and savory feast.

“I’ve found others committed to putting energy toward endeavors that cultivate life and make a positive impact in the world today, rather than being dragged down by the challenges of this time.”... Kimberly
