About the event
Why are plants seen as sacred? And how were they used?
We'll be exploring the virtues, the symbolism, the myths and magic of many beautiful herbs such as Rose, Lily, Angelica, Bay, Sage, Juniper. They were used in centuries past by monastic communities and everyday folk for healing and also for ritual, incense, for feast days and special celebrations.
Today we use them to heal us, to help us meditate, uplifting us and filling our lives with joy!
It's curious and intriguing to learn about their historic connections! And the medicine they offer us too!
£45 Includes herbal refreshment, a herb walk, a sacred plant gift to take home.
