Upcoming
A Waterfall Hike: Bioregional Herbalism, Plant Connection, and Ecopoetics
November 30th / 1 pm / Angeles Forest
Join artist and herbalist Paige Emery on an afternoon hike to connect with the local plants and sacred waters of the Angeles Forest.
Along the trail we’ll pause to learn about working in right relationship with our regional flora, share tea brewed with herbs from Paige’s garden, hold a guided meditation to connect us with our local forest, and sit among our more-than-human neighbors for an ecopoetic writing session. No experience necessary ~ come as you are.
Winter Solstice Plant Ritual at Anima Mundi Apothecary
December 21st / Venice, CA / 7 pm
Join us on the Winter Solstice in an Earthly ritual to move in alignment with the rhythms of nature.
The evening ritual will move with a tea ceremony with native herbs and intentional wreath-making with native plants that can protect and bless our homes. Wreaths traditionally have been made with specific plants to bless and protect a home, and through working with native plants that grow on the land around us, we also deepen our relationship with the land we inhabit. With a collective altar, we will set and uplift our intentions for the season together with the energy of the Winter Solstice.
The Winter Solstice is an energetic opening for us to align more deeply with the moving energies of the Earth as we go into a time of restoration. As we, too, are part of the cycles of nature, honoring this time and Earthly connection through ritual helps foster the conditions for personal and collective transformation.
