Call Into Darkness - Plant Spirit Course

I have experience working with plant spirit medicine and this provided a container to go to a new level.

I was able to meet plants I had not worked with before and it provided ways for me to connect in deeper ways with those I am familiar with.

Working with plants and this experience has helped me feel more connected to nature, myself and the greater consciousness.

I loved hearing what others experienced, to see how magical the plants are, and the similarities/differences in how they show up."

WE'RE TAKING A HIATUS FOR 2024 - BACK SAMHAIN 2025

Deepen your relationship to the plant kingdom in this on-of-a-kind 6 week course, where you commune with, learn from, and heal with 6 incredible plant teachers during the darkest weeks of the year.

Each week, from deep in the Samhain darkness to the Winter Solstice, you will work with one of six plant spirit medicines to deepen relationship and explore the depths of yourself and your psyche.

Through guided meditative journeys, reflective questions, and written information, you will move through unique healing processes inspired by each of the plants, as well as intimately learn the medicine they provide.

During this time of the year we have the power and gifts

of the darkness on our side.

This means that we can access spiritual wisdom more easily, that we can communicate with the subtle realms more keenly, and that we have access to our own unconscious minds and our shadow more readily, making healing extra potent.

How do you want to utilize this sensitive, intuitive and powerful time?

When we choose to open the doorway between the mysteries of the plant realms and our very soul's nature, we open the gateway of vast and powerful connection and communion.

When we choose to invest in our inner growth and healing, we rewrite the hidden stories telling us that we are not worthy and move towards true authentic empowerment.

The plants are here to help. They carry so much guidance, wisdom, healing, and love.

They want us to heal. They want us to thrive. They are our ancestors and allies.

It was through working with plants in this profound relational way that I began my journey of reclaiming my voice, stepping into my power, reclaiming my body, and reshaping my mind.

I want this for you too.

This class is a cozy womb for turning towards your wise inner knowing, guided by the trust and love of the plants.

It is an impactful, life-shifting experience.

Call Into Darkness is nourishing, radically healing, and utilizes the potent medicine of this dark, inward time of year to truly tap into the subtle whispers from the plant and spiritual realms.

"I never knew it was possible to connect with plants in this way. It opened me up to a whole new world of depth and connection, I felt it was my antidote to loneliness in dark times and an opportunity for communion with nature in the way my soul was craving. This class has brought me into greater intimacy with the earth and nature. It has given me a model for a reciprocal relationship with nature- something I was never taught directly in any other place/time."

Elder tree laden with berries - we work with Elder week 1

In this course you will:

Learn to interpret your intuitive language and deepen trust in your intuition
Intimately learn about and befriend 6 powerful plant medicines
Learn techniques to commune with any and all plant medicines going forward
Find the soul nourishment of connecting with plant medicines in the way all of our ancestors once did
Move through potent healing processes guided by the 6 plants
Discover deeper layers of your body, psyche and your soul's wisdom
Learn to listen to information drawn in through senses other than your ears
Tap into the sentience of the world around you
Invest in intentional space for yourself to commune and connect through the dark months
Connect with a community of like-minded folks
Find comfort and meaning when the days are the darkest

Truly, taking care of yourself and building relations with the more-than-human world is some of the exact medicine the world needs right now.

Taking this course is an act of dismantling the toxic systems that ignore the sentience of the Earth and the plants, that believe it's ok to dominate the Earth and other beings, that inner work isn't a valid contribution, and that dreaming, self-healing and intuition are not of value.

This course is revolutionary as we acknowledge the consciousness of plants, the importance of developing reverence for the Earth, and enter into a mindset of reciprocity.

Through developing and deepening relationship with the animate world, we begin to heal wounds of separation and severance.

This is a much needed act in building a new cultural story. A story that believes in our inter-being with all else. A story that values inner work, healing, and cultivating relationship with the unseen realms as necessary components for a thriving and healthy society and Earth-ecosystem. One that connects us back intimately to the land itself.

One that listens to the land, the plants, and the other animate forces of the Earth as wise teachers, elders, and those worthy of respect, reverence, and honor.

"This class helped me wake up to the power of every plant. I always thought the powerful plants were the psychedelics, but I now know better now. There are so many medicine plants that are opening us to the plant realm and it's now up to me to make myself open to listening." - Dee

Words from Past Students...

"This course changed my life in immeasurable ways - every plant woke me up to and integrated an aspect of myself. This is the first time in my life where I feel in the flow, I feel safe, I feel free to express and choose my reality. I am entering 2022 knowing I have everything I need within myself to do the work I'm here to do. It is so empowering"

-Dee

"I came into this plant class with no knowledge of what I was signing up for, just trusting that it was where I was supposed to be, and boy-howdy... Amy offers explanations of the plants' medicine, energetically and physically, with every encouragement and opportunity to explore your own experience and reaction. I appreciated the space to learn and the super kind, knowledgeable guidance through the deep of winter. I mean, Amy's a gentle wizard and now I got all these plant allies! It's cool."

-Miriam

"As someone who has been connecting with plants for years, I can honestly say that this course took my relationship to plants to an incredible new, deeper level. I laughed, I cried, I discovered new parts of myself, found answers to burning questions, and I healed some things. This is a unique and deeply needed course, for anyone interested in connecting more deeply with the planet, with our plant-kin and with their own, inner wisdom."

-Amanda

"Amy, thank you for sharing your heart with us. Thank you for giving us things to connect to, and to ponder, and to work through so we can be the best versions of ourselves in this crazy world. Thank you for being a catalyst for us to connect our bodies, hearts and spirits to reach our highest self."

-Jocelyn

"Call Into Darkness opened me up to an entire world of plants, spirits, intuition, and how they can all dance together. Amy's meditations and tinctures really introduce you to the plant spirits, and after that, the plants truly do teach you, meet you, and accept your "allyship." I see both the outside world and the world within myself in a completely different way now. Thank you so much for this, absolutely incredible!"

-Ryan

"I wanted to thank you for offering us such an amazing experience - it truly has been transformational for me. Our work together [has] helped me in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways begin to connect with my body and soul. It has not always been easy - but I have never been one to shy away from paths I feel important. This perhaps, is the most significant path for me yet."

-Debra

"Amy’s class provided such a wonderful opportunity for me to do important work during such a magical time of year. The plants helped support, clear and foster a beautiful environment deep within so whatever new that is planted will grow and thrive. Much gratitude to Amy and all of these amazing plant allies."
