Gatherings

Seasonal workshops and guided experiences rooted in plant knowledge.

Gatherings offers a space to slow down, reflect, and engage with plant traditions through shared experience. These sessions are shaped by seasonal rhythms, cultural lineages, and everyday practices that honor plants as companions in daily life. Offered as open sessions, seasonal circles, or small-group workshops. Availability and format vary, reflecting the nature of the work and the time of year.
