SPIRIT MEDICINE WORKSHOP AND FIELD
WALK Presented by Laurie Lacey |
Join Laurie on a fascinating and fun exploration of Mi'kmaq and plant spirit medicine. Both the workshop and field walk will offer a blend of stories, legends, medicines, and nature impressions. At one moment serious, and the next moment funny, you will enjoy and be inspired by both events. Note: It is not necessary to participate in both the workshop and the field walk. It is possible to do one and not the other, and still feel as though you've had a complete workshop experience.

"Magic" is the art of using the energy that surrounds us to help us achieve our goals. All plants contain energy and offer it freely to assist us. In this workshop we will be discussing some of the ways we can use plants for magical purposes - from protection and purification to helping us attract love, money and prosperity. We will talk about plants that are used in the native and pagan spiritual paths, particularly those plants that can be found in our own backyards.
