— Virtual Workshop —
Discover the art of gardening through the lens of Spiritual Ecology - no experience required!
In this live workshop, you will learn about tending to a garden as an act of reciprocity, daily rituals for earth tending, and working with the cycles of the land, the moon, and nature. We will go through the basic building blocks of gardening, and go into different techniques and tips you can implement to help your plants thrive effortlessly.
Whether you live in an apartment in the city, have a small lawn, or live in a rural landscape, you’ll be able to grow flourishing gardens in any scenario (Spoiler: everyone has a green thumb!).
Crafting with plants is a sensual experience, where you are able to connect with plant spirits and allow yourself to play and flow with the rhythm of life.
A garden is a magical expression of the beauty of nature, and through the act of conscious gardening, we’re able to tap into the subtleties that make planting an intuitive, life-giving ritual.
Channel your desire to create and nurture, while learning to speak the language of plants!

Meet Your Guide
Geraldine is a clinically trained herbalist, gardener, and botanical dyer. The thread that weaves her work together is the concept of bioregionalism. Geraldine has been studying herbalism for over a decade. She has taught classes on herbal medicine making and theory at Yale University, Bard College, conferences, retreats, food coops, lifestyle stores, many farms, even a music festival. After every class she receives feedback that her style is organized, thorough, and students feel like they have expanded their understanding of the subject matter. Geraldine believes that each class is an opportunity to empower her students and demystify the world of plant and mushroom medicine.
