Embark on a somatic adventure into the world of one wild medicinal plant—where the identity is gradually and intuitively revealed through your senses.
Discover how this plant, thriving in the heart of our Rocky Mountain bioregion, offers its healing gifts not just to the human body, but to the land and watershed as well.
Your journey unfolds through a tapestry of sensory immersion, movement, and deep listening, inviting you to experience the plant in a profoundly embodied way.
Somatic Arrival: Ground into the space with a guided somatic drop-in, attuning the body and mind to the present moment.
Sensory Unveiling: Engage in a blind tea pour—a ritual of sensory discovery. Smell, sip, and savor the plant's unique essence, allowing your senses to form an intimate connection before its identity is revealed.
Guided Visualization: Immerse yourself in a vivid, guided journey to the plant’s hidden habitat. Picture the landscape it calls home, sense its medicinal strengths as they nourish both land and water, and let the plant slowly come into focus.
Embodied Memory: Explore the plant’s healing actions—both for you and the land—through movement-based memory tools. Gentle, repetitive motions inspired by the plant’s rhythms and supported by conscious breath help anchor your experience on a somatic level.
Outdoor Walk: For those who wish, join an optional group walk following the class to meet the plant in its natural setting.
Participants will take home a Wildcrafting Guide for the plant of focus, which will include:
Plant signatures and astrological influences
Plant identification and respectful foraging tips
Medicinal actions, organ affinities, and contraindications
Information about how the plant influences our broader watershed
Tried and true wildcrafting recipes
Local nurseries where you can order the plant for landscaping and restoration projects
Each Blind Tea Pour will focus on one native medicinal plant at a time.
