May 23rd 6-8pm, August 4th 1-3pm, September 15th 1-3pm  – Connect to Plant Spirits at Belfast Breeze Inn, Belfast ME
In this class we will gather and share a medicinal/herbal tincture or tea not knowing what it is and engage in a silent meditation. From there, as a group we will share our experience of the plant, our sensations and impressions. After revealing the plant, Denise will then talk about the more concrete medicinal uses, how the plant likes to grow, and how to harvest and use the plant for medicinal use. We will connect with multiple plants in each session. Part participatory plant journey and part informational! Sign up here: https://plantspirits.brownpapertickets.com/
