Fri, November 17, 2023, 7pm – 9pm,
we will journey with Hawthorn.

Plant Journeying


A plant's story, medicine, and magic are available to us at all times and in a variety of ways.  In this experiment-style class, we will work with one plant each class to learn a variety of techniques to connect to the spirit of the plant.  This will also include the mental and emotional states to enhance that connection.  There will be a direct experience of Journeying with this plant in an in-bodied/embodied state through mediation by ingesting a small dose of tincture, tea, and/or flower essence.  A plant attunement will further foster the connection.  There will be times for integration through writing, journaling, and/or sharing our experiences.


Plant Journeying is designed to help you tune in to the plant world and experience it on a whole new level.


Clinical herbalist, shamanic guide, and Reiki Master Judy Lieblein will guide you and help you connect to the wisdom of the plant world through a two-hour class. 

This class is focused on cultivating a new style of communication, bridging the language barriers that may exist between humans and the plant world by using tools we already have: touch, taste, sight, and smell

This is a hands-on approach: you’ll be asked to employ your senses and interact with each herb in a very real and tangible way, opening yourself up to impressions, experiences, or sensations that may arise during the experience. 

This is an exploratory experience. There is no need for hard and fast, right and wrong answers - only the truth of what each plant has chosen to communicate to you. 

Not only is this experience unique to the online herbal world,  it is also tailored for you. The intent is to make this plant journey as personal and intimate as possible. If you choose, you can also share your experience on camera during class. We understand that everyone has a certain level of being comfortable with sharing. To do so, you will need to request access in the chat. 

Why Journey? 

  • Increase your connection with the plants
  • Deepen your knowledge about each plant 
  • Create space for yourself and nature 
  • To try a new adventure 
  • For pure enjoyment
