Everything began with a dream
Our history began in 2016, the expression of our founder’s dream to create an international group with shared values and love of plants, coming together to honour the plants, to support each other and to spread the work of Sacred Plant Medicine. Carole’s expression of Sacred Plant Medicine was informed by her background as a medical herbalist and her trainings in the Beauty Way Tradition passed to her by Arwyn DreamWalker (lineage carrier for Grandfather Tom Wilson of the Dineh people) together with European/Celtic shamanism. Her dream was inspired by the plants and by the passion and commitment of her dedicated apprentices. The Goddess Airmid was a guiding force since the beginning and our first meeting took place during the workshop ‘Airmid and the Dream of the Plants’.
