Class Title	Plant Ally Series: Working with Plant Spirit Medicine
Instructor	Phelicia Magnusson
Details	Week 1: April 7th - Learning To Listen To Plants: In our first class we will talk about the many ways one can begin cultivating a relationship and an awareness of plant spirits. We’ll meet a few plants as teas, tinctures and flower essences, and talk about working with the wisdom present in each form. In closing, we will engage a plant ally in dialogue through meditation with a flower essence, and create medicine bundles to support intentional dreaming. Week 2: April 14th - Tuning Into The Wisdom Of The Body: Our second class will focus on tuning into the wisdom of the body as tool for deepening our awareness of plant allies. We will practice grounding and centering in our bodies, and work with an essence or a tea to guide us in journaling from the body. Our discussion will center on floral bathing, the wisdom of the elements, and cultivating embodied intuition by working with plants topically. Folks will leave with recipes for floral bathing and a flower essence. Week 3: April 21st - Tincture Making & How to Infuse Your Medicine With Spirit: In our final class we will engage in the ritual of medicine making by learning to make alcohol based tinctures in the folk medicine style. We will learns ways to invoke the spirits of the plants, invite the wisdom of lands and ancestors and make intentional medicine. Our discussion will include working with solar and lunar phases, making environmental essences, and creating community rituals of healing. Phelicia Magnusson is a pragmatic mystic whose formal training as an herbalist and flower essence practitioner took place at Arbor Vitae School of Traditional Herbalism in New York City and with Delta Gardens in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. Phelicia is particularly interested in the intersection of ritual and healing; she has spent a good deal of time learning in ceremony with plants and elders in the Peruvian Amazon, the big island of Hawaii and the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. As a healer, Phelicia has a great deal of gratitude and awe for the plants themselves, the infinite wisdom they hold, and the elders and traditions that hold plant wisdom sacred.

Class #	604
Class Title	Woman's Mysteries, Sacred Arts & Healing
Instructor	Marion Dumont Ph.D. R.N.
Details	The experiential and thoughtful introduction of women’s mysteries, sacred arts & healing is intended to evoke one’s innate creativity, revealing personal and multicultural sources of mystical insight, embodied healing, and artistic blossoming. This biweekly gathering focuses on the embodied wisdom of women and includes a look at the vernacular history that preserves the role of women who have served as seers, healers, and nurturers of life. Although no one tradition is emphasized, the facilitator identifies as European-American and animist whose spiritual practice is grounded in relationships with the land, nature and all living beings. The traditions espoused are intended to nurture in the individual a sense of self that is grounded through time-honored practices of engaging with the natural world, the elements, and the ancestors. An honoring of women's mysteries of birth and sexuality, transformation, death and rebirth informs our work in ritual, literature, and creative expression. About Marion Dumont: I was born in Verdun, in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France, and hold a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion with a specialty in Women’s Spirituality from the California Institute of Integral Studies. As a registered nurse, mother, and grandmother, the focus of my work over the years has been women’s health and well-being. Today, this focus has shifted from the physical care of others toward the spiritual, with an emphasis on women’s mysteries, sacred arts and healing.
