Medicine of the Forest Mother

Location: Tyee

Address: 21301 Tyee Road, Mount Vernon, WA 98274

Date: 11 May

Gather with us in ceremony around a crackling fire, where we will come together as a community to honor the essence of motherhood. As part of our ceremony, we will create a beautiful altar, a sacred space to honor the lineage of mothers who come with, before, and after us, whose wisdom and strength flow through our hearts and veins.

Embrace the healing power of nature as you embark on individual medicine walks through the forested land surrounding us. Allow the whispers of the trees and the songs of the birds to guide you as you connect with the healing energies of the earth.

After our time in nature, we will reconvene in council to share our experiences, insights, and reflections. This sacred circle provides a space for deep connection, support, and community building.
