  Join us for a rich and powerful encounter with the Hawthorn Tree. Plant Initiations are an ancient, ceremonial way to open to plants to receive their teachings. This special, online opportunity is a complete immersion with Hawthorn. We will be ingesting this strong hawthorn brew together in ceremonial space to receive the teachings of Hawthorn.  Fasting for the day is recommended. If this is not possible, eat lightly, and ideally bland, simple food. 

   

  Hawthorn shares their bounty twice a year, when the veils are thinnest at the crossroads Beltane and Samhain. At Beltane celebrated around May 1st, Hawthorn blooms creamy, 5 petaled white-pink flowers; and then again produces a flush of cherry-red berries at the end of October, near Samhain. These two seasonal gateways at spring (the flush of new life) and autumn (death and regeneration) sit across from each other on the Wheel of the Year. Hawthorn has many powerful teachings for us. This is our opportunity to deeply listen.
