Dear friends,
It is with gratitude and delight that I invite you to join me at the beautiful Misty Mountain Manor for my first retreat of 2027. A weekend of herbal medicine, plant wisdom, tea meditations, hands-on workshops, and more.
JANUARY 29th - 31st
This retreat is created to offer a place of rest and nourishment, whilst offering wisdom around herbal medicine and working with plants as allies for physical, emotional and spiritual health and evolution. We will spend our mornings in quiet meditation with the plants, our days making herbal medicine in the kitchen, and our evenings sharing cups of tea and stories.
During these three days together we gather for the following workshops:
Herbal Skincare: Learn how to make your own herbal skincare, including body butters, balms and salves, herbal infused body oils, body scrubs and face masks. We will look at different plants that have special affinities for skin health.
Herbal Medicine Workshop: This is my signature workshop, and over 3-4 hours we will cover how to use herbs safely in the home, energetics of herbal medicine and moving beyond the allopathic approach, take a quick look at Medical Astrology, and learn about (and how to prepare) flower remedies, electuaries, herbal infused honey, oxymels and tinctures.
Herbal energetics: The Six Tissue States and what our Taste tells us about a plant.
Special blue lotus ceremony & sound journey with Christopher Mapstone on the Friday evening.
All workshops are hands-on and interactive. You will leave the retreat with minimum 4 full sized products to take home.
Plant Tea Meditations
Plants have a way of beckoning us back into ourselves, into a way of living that is harmonious and in reciprocity with all of the living world. Learning directly from the plants is perhaps my favorite way of working with them, and requires attention and a willingness to listen. It requires us to slow down; to be still.
During our Tea Meditations we will explore plants through a non-linear approach; creating a space that allows us to learn directly with the plants themselves.
We greet the plants to learn more about them, and in the process are invited to discover more about ourselves.
This is both a moment of learning and discovery- and a moment of self inquiry and reflection.
We will begin our mornings in quiet mediation with the blue lotus (blue water lilies).
Food & Accommodation
Our meals will be lovingly prepared with organic, nutrient dense ingredients. Dietary preferences and allergies can be catered to upon request. Our venue for the weekend is the Misty Mountain Manor, in Uki, NSW.
