Plant Spirit Healing - Elder

Prized by chefs and winemakers for its fragrant flowers and berries, elder also has many magical associations and is steeped in mythology throughout the Celtic world, symbolising protection, and it’s said that if you stand under an elder tree on Midsummer’s Eve, you’ll catch a glimpse of the fae.

In this workshop, you’ll learn about the culinary and medicinal properties of elder and how to prepare immune-boosting remedies for different ailments, reflecting on how our ancestors would have used elder in their daily lives. You’ll make your own safe and effective elder-based remedy that you can take home with you, learning valuable skills about preparation, use, storage and dosage.

You’ll also learn how you can work with elder to support your personal and spiritual growth, taking part in a ceremony to honour the spirit of the plant before undertaking a guided shamanic journey to seek wisdom, guidance and healing from her.

The workshop will start at 2.00 pm and finish at 5.30 pm.
