The summer months are casting spells of warmth and sweetness, both vital ingredients to the local berries that grow around us. We hope this finds you sun-kissed and softened, receiving all the gifts of the season before the wheel turns towards darker months.

Autumn is the season of harvest and will be here before you know it — give future you the gift of cyclical balancing and grab a spot for our seasonal PNW plant magic circle! In this gathering we'll learn about three of the sacred & healing berries that feed the Pacific Northwest: elder, hawthorn, and blackberry. 🫐

 Espen Artio will guide us through the medicinal properties, ecological roles, and historical ethnobotanical uses of these plant allies. In the second part of class we'll make infused elixirs that you'll get to take home with you!

This will be an in-person workshop and spots are limited, so be sure to snag a spot asap if this is magic you'd love to dive into. ✨

Curious about how these plants can benefit your equinox apothecary? Berry medicine and magic is potent, witch! Get to know them a little: 

Meet Elder.

  The Elder Plant is an herbal ally perfect for this season because of its ability to help with colds and flus. The leaves are poisonous, however, so be careful when harvesting this plant! 

Meet Hawthorn.

Hawthorn's nourishing berries can be used in jams, tinctures, and more! This sacred tree has long been a source of folk medicine for the heart — both emotional and medicinal aid.

Meet Blackberry.

Blackberry is a sweet protective ally that marks the start of autumn. These berries are tasty and nutrient-dense, making them an incredibly versatile and useful tool to add to your practice. 

You are invited to dive into this magic with us whether you're at the beginning of your journey or have been brewing potions for years. Espen approaches plants and their magic from a folklore view, which creates a gentle environment for exploration and connection. You'll make some friends, create with the plants and with your own magic, and leave feeling held by the earth.
