                           Oregon 2025

​

​

  In 2025 I am going to be changing things for my local Oregon folks and offering more all day long plant medicine immersions. By only having it as a day trip it will allow more folks to be able to attend. My intention is to offer these walks 2-3x a month.

                                        Mount Baker Plant Immersion

 

                                                 July 15-18th

 

These retreats are not simply herbal educational trips – these events will focus on allowing the land and the plants to lead the way –  providing space for healing, personal growth, discovery and community bonding, by tapping into the intuitive and synchronistic practices of “discovering new” scents, aromas, tastes, sounds and energies of our surroundings.

 

What to Expect:

During our time together we will focus on the subtle energies of the plants and the land we will be inhabiting. We will be sitting directly with the plants in their natural habitat, embracing all they have to teach us. We will listen deeply and tune into the subtle world of plant spirit medicine. We will do this through: group plant meditations, sitting directly with the plants, tea circles, dream journey work, or other inspired insightful experiments guided by the plants. This is a form of surrendering to the flow, allowing mother earth, nature, and the elements to work their magic. 

 

These trips can be very transformative and healing, bringing each of us closer to ourselves. That being said we will intentionally be in situations that are out of our normal comfort zones (meaning, we will be camping without the normal comforts of life including using a pit toilet and rivers, lakes or outdoor shower for bathing, and dealing with things like bugs and getting dirty – this is all a part of the process of connecting with nature). This helps to loosen up stuck energies allowing for a deep transformation and change to take place. Working in this way creates an imprint of the teaching upon our being, allowing us to have a deeper understanding of the way “medicinal” plants work. By spending quality, focused time in the natural world we are able to witness these subtle energies and ways of healing.

 

This retreat is also a lesson in living and working together in community. Our hope is to grow our herbal community. It is important to create meaningful relationships and connections that will continue to grow after the retreats are finished.

​

Intentions: We ask that everyone sets an intention for what they seek for themselves during our time together. Having an intention allows for one to have a compass to find your way when things get difficult. It also brings focus to what it is you are striving to achieve. 

 

Plant spirit medicine/meditation: A potent way to connect with the energetic essence of plants, we will do this through: group plant meditations, sitting directly with the plants, tea circles, dream journey work, or other inspired insightful experiments guided by the plants.

 

Hikes: Hiking is a part of this journey (Although not super strenuous, we expect participants to be able to hike at least 3-5 miles mostly on trails with some off trail travel to get to the plants we are going to be working with.) There is something about walking through the forest, soaking in the sounds, smells, and energy. It is a form of walking meditation and a great way to set the stage for working with our plant friends.

 

Sharing circle: Sharing is an intimate and sacred way of expressing our experiences. It is a way for us all to support each other as this work can be really moving. Sharing with each other allows us to develop a sense of community, practicing being vulnerable in a supportive setting, and being witnessed by our fellow plant warriors. It is also a great way for us all to learn from each other.  

 

Respectful Wildcrafting: We will learn the proper ways to respectfully harvest medicine from the land, along with the best way to go about harvesting different plants, during what times of year, best locations, plant identification, and logistics about where you can/cannot, or should/should not, wildcraft. This is one of my favorite ways to connect with and learn from the plants. We will only be harvesting from large stands of plants on these trips, just enough to learn and make a small amount of medicine as a group.

 

Medicine Making: We’ll learn about making tinctures, salves, oxymels, syrups, decoctions vs infusions, medicated oils, juicing herbs, herbs as food, herbal fermented foods, and traditional uses. You will walk away with different medicines of each of the herbs we work with to help fill your herbal apothecary.

​

Cost: We are offering a pay what you can sliding scale, starting at $600 

​

Cost includes: Campsite fees, Materia Medica monographs, herbal tinctures, recipes and other notes.  

 

Food: We will be doing potluck style meals. The idea is to focus on pure clean food with limited spice. As fatty, spicy, and rich food dull our senses which in turn make it harder for us to connect with the subtle energies of the forest and the plants. You will receive more information on this as we get closer to our departure date.

Packing list: You will receive a detailed list on what to and not to bring with you.

 

Caveats: We will not be allowing people to bring dogs or friends with them. Also we request no use of alcohol, marijuana, or any other substances while you are with us.

 

You will be asked to sign a liability waiver and a wildcrafting agreement.
