About This Event

We live in inherently dysregulating times which deeply impact our spirits and nervous systems, individually and collectively. This class offers a space to tap into one our oldest and deepest relationships. Our plant kin offer a space of remembrance, friendship, and support, especially in the aftermath of individual and collective trauma. They also connect with our bodies medicinally, offering calm and comfort in moments of distress. This class will explore how remembering our interconnection to all beings allows us to access our grief and also offers medicine to keep going. We will explore what it means to be in reciprocal relationship with our plant kin, tell stories, hold space, and engage in embodied practice.

Location TBD, probably south Minneapolis.

Accessibility: This event will be held on even and sloped ground with short grass, potentially also sidewalk. We will mostly be sitting; total distance traveled will be less than half a mile.

Sliding scale $50 - $90. No one turned away for lack of funds. For details or questions, please email Owen at ohmarciano@gmail.com.
