About the workshop

We take great joy to introduce this set of workshops which we are calling The Imbas Series, an exciting collaborative exploration between Zillah Francis & Tara De Róiste.

Through this series of day retreats we will be slowing down and tuning into the rhythm of the land through the wheel of the year and connecting in particular to the trees that are potent sources of wisdom & healing for us in these times.

We will be combining herbal medicine, land connection, plant communication, sound healing & meditation in ceremony to create a unique opportunity for deeper connection with the land around us.

What better ally to be pioneering this journey with than the harbinger of Spring herself, Birch or Beithe as she is known in Old Irish.

Through conscious connection we will deepen into understanding the medicine of Birch and invite her healing, inspiration and awakening activations to come forward as we journey together in this time of the rising sap.

This day will include working in the container of sacred ceremony both indoors and out on the land with the trees. We will ingest a special elixir of various herbal extractions of Birch to align with and embody the medicine she offers and towards the end we will partake in a special “Herbal Sound Bath” where we will journey with and anchor this medicine and integrate the experiences of the day.

The day will conclude with a light meal shared together to ground & nourish us before our journeys home.

At this potent time of the year when the sap is rising and life itself is returning from the underworld, we too can be reborn and renewed.

Working with this wonderful ally we may attune to what it is we are bringing to life.

Are you feeling called to pioneer new projects in your life or community ? Or perhaps are entering a new phase or cycle in yourself or in your work or creative projects? Birch teaches us to see & feel our edges and to keep moving forward in growth & expansion towards the actualization of our dreams & visions.

Bigi Linn as we Awaken with Birch!
