Fine tune or discover how to communicate with the plant world. In this online introductory class, Hannah will share ways to deepen your intuition while opening to the vast network of the plants. Beyond their healing constituents, plants are our allies and have been communing with humans for thousands of years without the kind of verbalization we are accustomed to using. Through guided meditations, we will practice deep listening and journey to our benevolent gatekeepers, wise ones, healers and ancestors: the plants.
​
This class is for anyone who is curious- whether this is your first time communication with plant spirits, or you are a seasoned intuitive. Our first journey will be to meet the same plant together, then our next journey will be to our own plant allies.
