Plant Studies
Join us looking in exquisite detail at one plant over 1-2 days working with a Natural Phenomena method laid down by Goethe and Rudolf Steiner. Working in a group accelerates our learning from the plant we are communicating with. Rebuilding the plant through group meditation calls forth the true essence and therapeutic qualities of the plant and indicates the most appropriate medicinal preparations which captures this healing potential.
