Keeping with Ceremonie’s theme of Plant Kinship for the month of June, celebrate with us via live-stream on Wednesday, June 21 – Summer Solstice evening – by embarking on a festive, tender and delights-filled transformative e-circle into the realm of plant personhood and human + plant companionship.
Join us for an enchanting experience of hands-on kitchen witchery, intuition, creativity and collaboration, as Mimi leads the group through one of her favorite recipes of making fermented wild sodas layered with psychic connection, plant wisdom, and ritual. Together, we’ll infuse these elixirs-in-the-making with a co-created collective spell, harnessing the transformative energy of the fermenting flower infusion. As we activate the potent Yang properties of the Summer season, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy their fermented sodas roughly 2 weeks from this date.
During our time together, you’ll also be invited to ‘bring your plant friend’ to the e-gathering, where you can share with the group your own plant teacher / plant ally encounters, experiences, stories and myths, as well as inquiry. The group will be held by each other, the plant-kin, and the Summer Solstice. We’ll also participate in an exercise that further promotes closeness with our chosen plant (or perhaps, the plant chose us!).
If plant kinship is something you feel strongly drawn towards, we also welcome you to join the e-event of THE MAGICK OF TEA: FLOWER BEINGS AND BEING FLOWERS the Saturday prior on June 17.
