DESERT FLOWERS AS ORACLES: a 7 month ritual container and workspace series focused around ritual magic and self-inquiry with desert flower essences as allies and guides.

Beginning just after Beltane on May 2nd, and ending in early November after Samhain, this class has been many years in the making- students will meet ten times over the course of 7 months to learn about ritual magic and elemental herbalism/plant magic with a different mojave desert based flower essence each month.

Between classes, students will be assigned rituals and creative projects to complete on their own and share during the gatherings.

The goal of this container is for each participant to go more deeply into their own psychic abilities and relationship with the natural world with the support of a different ritual, magical topic, and flower essence each month.

Seven of the meet ups are listed below- we will also have three less formal meet ups to discuss and share, to be determined by the group once it has formed. Classes are as follows:

May - Saturday, May 2nd, 9am PST

Desert dandelion - Beltane - Opening the Cosmic Portal

June - Wednesday, June 10th, 9am PST

Purple Sand Verbena - Summer Rituals for Changing Times

July - Wednesday, July 1st, 9 am PST

Desert Five Spot - Lions Gate- Protection Spells & Psychic Boundaries

August - Saturday, August 8th 9 am PST

Lilac Sunbonnet - Fall transitions - Grief & Ancestral Healing

September - Saturday, September 19th 9am PST

Desert Indigo Bush - Time of the Thinning Veil

October - Wednesday, October 16th 9am PST

Ocotillo - Samhain - Closing our Journey, Resting for Winter

November (closing circle) Wednesday, November 4th 9am PST

Interested participants will be available to attend classes and complete the rituals between meet ups- this course is participatory research and self inquiry and all participants are vital parts of keeping the circle open. You will be encouraged to work on an art or writing project based on the themes of the class which we will share with one another as an alchemical offering to each other and the flowers.

Pricing - This class is sliding scale $250 - $750. The class includes six flower essences sent to you in the first month. Payment plans are available.
