We begin September 2027


The Seven Plant Spirits Journey
A Seven-Month Sacred Plants Apprenticeship-
Online & 1 day in person.
Remembering Our Relationship with the Living World
There is an ancient wisdom carried by the plants—a quiet language that speaks through dreams, seasons, rivers, and your heart.
The Seven Plant Spirits Journey is a seven-month immersive experience for those called to deepen their relationship with 7 plants through ceremony, meditation, reflection, and community. This is for folks who have completed
YEAR ONE or who have done 2 one day retreats.
Together we will explore the symbolic teachings, cultural stories, and spiritual qualities of seven remarkable plant allies while cultivating our own inner wisdom.
This is not a course about consuming plants. It is an invitation to develop respectful relationship with the living world through observation, contemplation, creativity, and ceremonial practice. We will be working with plant spirits.
Are you missing being in at the Gaia Hive? This circle offers a place to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with the wisdom of the Earth. See old friends or make new ones.
