taking heart in uncertain times

Hello everyone!
there is still some space in this workshop I am co-facilitating on Saturday. It's a great opportunity to be in community - especially if you find yourself carrying around a lot of grief, despair, anger, fear, and overwhelm about the state of things here on earth. It is based on Joanna Macy's The Work that Reconnects.

I am really excited about it and just wanted to pass the info along as a reminder... also if you know of anyone who might be interested, please share with your people!

Thank you!
much love,
Dori


TAKING HEART IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
An experiential healing and empowerment
gathering for those who care passionately
about our Earth and future generations.

Saturday, October 2nd
9:30am – 5:30pm

Through this healing gathering, together we will explore our deeply
felt responses to living at this moment in history, experience the
power of our intimate connection with the vast web of life, and learn
to support one another in creating life-sustaining cultures.

led by Paula Hendrick, Dori Midnight, and Luke Woodward

Flower essences are magical and powerful remedies that people have been making and using for ages (for example the ever-popular Rescue Remedy) . They draw on the "essence" of the plant for its particular healing properties and are often used for emotional and spiritual imbalances, crisis and transformation. We will cover the basics of flower essences, uses and applications, and make our own essence in the garden! Come get your fairy on and learn more about this innately sustainable folk magic!
