Long before laboratories and high-powered microscopes, humanity viewed the botanical world with a mix of reverence, mystery, and awe. Plants weren't just survival tools, they were characters in our grandest legends, protectors against unseen forces, and the foundation of ancient healing. Almost every plant that has touched human history carries a ghost of magic: Why did Cleopatra bathe in saffron? How did mugwort earn the title "Mother of Herbs"? What can the legend of Turtle Island teach us about our relationship with nature?
Join us for a cozy morning of storytelling and tea. We’ll sip herbal brews while journeying through ancient Indigenous lore and traditional mythologies, discovering how these old-world stories laid the groundwork for the modern plant practices we use today. By understanding where these traditions came from, you’ll deepen your intuition, strengthen your daily practice, and see your plant allies in a whole new light
