About the Event
A Plant Spirit Rite of Passage is a form of “plant diet” where you will work with a plant in solitude and meditation, with minimal food and water. It is a time to deepen your relationship with a plant spirit, nature and yourself. Plant Spirit Rite of Passages are a traditional way of working with plants in order to honor them, deepen your connection with them, dream with them, and have a direct experience with plant consciousness. Plant Spirit Rite of Passage is about approaching a plant as your teacher; trusting and surrendering to them, and granting them full access to your body, heart, mind and spirit, so that it can heal and teach you on every layer of your being.
By ingesting the medicine that is prepared each day for you in a sacred manner it will give you the opportunity to receive the plants vibration both physically and spiritually, as well as connect with their spirit and consciousness. As we fast and sit in nature, our beings become clearer and purer, allowing the vibration of the plant to enter our being more deeply.
A relationship is formed by which the plant acts as the one who initiates the human into the next level of awakening. The sacred and conscious physical ingestion of a plant helps to ground and integrate the new levels of consciousness into the physical body. It helps the body adapt to a higher vibration and change cellular structure. A plant diet can help us to wake up and remember who we are, connecting us with all our relations on the planet and beyond.
Every plant can act as a mirror for an aspect of yourself. As you deepen relationships with the plants, you also deepen relationships with parts of yourself, and thereby restore and nourish the integrity and ecology of your body, soul and spirit. The plants have the capacity to restore you to your “wholeness of being” and bring you into connection with your true self. The plants can help you remember who you truly are, where you come from, and reveal where you are going. In this way, plant spirits can be one of your greatest teachers, healers, allies and protectors. They have the ability to initiate you into understanding how your wounds and traumas have the capacity to become your greatest medicines and gifts - ultimately transforming you into living breathing embodiments of medicine.
Healing can occur physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, and is intended for the individual, the plant, the Earth and the collective. At this time of great transformation on the Earth, the plants are bringing forth important messages to assist our awakening and evolution. During a Rite of Passage, the plants offer to initiate us to new levels of consciousness, and help us remember our ancient origins. They have the capacity to open the doorways to higher consciousness and can give us a direct experience of other realms and dimensions. By physically ingesting the plant, it supports you to ground and integrate new levels of consciousness into the body.
