Indigenous peoples have been using direct perception for sensing their environs for millennia. Today this is referred to as ‘heart literacy’ or ‘heart coherence’. Based on the teachings of the Heartmath Institute and Stephen Buhner this two-day intensive will teach clear techniques for accessing the heart for knowing the plants around us. Many of these skills are not relegated to only the healer or shamanic realms but are meant for our everyday relationship with life. This being said, we will also share stories of how profound these skills are for practitioners in the realms of diagnosis. Native peoples the world over are able to ask the plants directly for information, we too can develop the elegance of this form of inquiry.

This experiential class will teach simple techniques for developing intimate relationships with the plants around us. These include wide angle vision, sketching, organoleptics, journaling and other methods in order to understand the depth of the relationships that are available to us with plants. We will also pay tribute to Goethe and his study of plant morphology.

What a beautiful way to celebrate the Spring Equinox
