MONTHLY HERBAL COUNCILS
at ElderMoon School of Herbs & Earth Medicine
Come join the Herbal Council Meetings each month at EMS for one hour/month as we do what herbalists do and 'speak plant' while turning our attention towards the plants, our own needs, the needs of our people, the nature of healing, and the healing of Earth by becoming good medicine.
If you've ever turned to a plant for healing then there's an herbalist within and definitely a seat for you in this council. Learning the language and walk is easier than you think. Come and absorb.
All currently enrolled EMS Birthing an Herbalist in 13 Moons herbal students receive access to these councils for FREE as part of your study time to expand on topics touched upon lightly during course time. This allows us to go deeper into pertinent topics you desire to know more about.
Topics are announced 2-3 weeks prior and are often prompted by our current EMS herbal students as we deepen our walk as 'Herbalists'. We've opened these to beginners and seasoned herbal folk looking to connect in council on behalf of Nature and the deepening of our connection as people walking this land together. Should you be completely new, this is great. Come anyway. Allow the language to wash over you and you'll see how quickly you pick it all up. You may even start your first home apothecary a few months in (wink wink). Much Love, Jen

OUR CURRENT Monthly Herbal Council:

It’s time. Plants teach & heal. The plants teach us that the best way to build more energy is to work AND restore.

THIS MONTH: Spirit of Place - Honoring the Connection & Negotiations With The LAND Were We Live WHEN: 4/30/21 FRIDAY 12pm NOON* - Always Recorded & Archived. *Note The Time Change. 2 OPTIONS TO JOIN: You can drop in for the session or join the monthly BEE BALM level in Patreon |
I often feel drawn to speak of this in the Spring as I sit with my tiny piece of Earth that supports me and my family.
It can go unnoticed. The call. It's often subtle.
Did you ever wonder about the Essence or Spirit of the Land where you live and make a conscious effort to connect?
The land has presence and substance and is intricately involved with an evolution of its own that is completely independent from us. It’s in a most intimate relationship to creation already. No surprise, of course. And yet it's connected to a larger picture that also includes us as human.
The Spirit of Place holds memory of what has come to pass. It calls to create and is in a state of creation, just as you are and I am.
It's constantly undulating at a pace we can find hard to detect but the truth is rocks, and even roots to a degree, migrate and move within the churning of the soil, as the elements, animals and insects, and microbes contribute within their own creative process.
Have you opened your inner sight to catch a glimpse, for the love of Earth, of what it was like before there were people and buildings, roads, lawns, powerlines, sewer lines, and even farmland or city landscapes where you live?
Have you found the heart of your land (the land where you live regardless of 'ownership')? When did you last make an offering, a gift?
Are there altars for honoring, even a single tiny one no one would notice, that are just between you and the land?
What of the way animals move through it, or the wind, and even water?
Do you love this place or are you passing through?
Have you listened or caught a glimpse of the way the land wishes to connect with you? Because it does. You're worth the effort.
How has this land formed and shaped you? What are your stories with this place?
What land calls you? How do you describe this calling that many of us were not taught or shown how to connect to and speak of, or even acknowledge.
You live where you are at this moment in time for purpose and through a calling.
This month we'll explore the many ways of Connection and Honoring to the Spirit of Place that is not only essential but vital to our own evolution and flow with our individual calling in life.
Can you tell I LOVE this topic? See you soon, Jen
