30 Dec Embodying Nettles
The intention of this earth-based ritual is to align with nettle’s resilience, nourishment, and grounded strength. We will begin with a cool sip of a nettle infusion and a meditation to attune to the plant’s energetics. An organically inspired gentle yoga flow will follow incorporating movement inspired by nettle’s steadiness, boundaries, and vibrance.
We will then shift into an intuitive art practice using watercolors made from a nettles infusion, translating the embodied experience of the plant onto the page. This will be a meditative and devotional act. There will be space for creative processing through free-writing and guided prompts.
We will close in a collective songcircle. Participants will leave with their nettle-infused watercolor piece and a deeper connection to this ancient herbal ally.
Jackie DeConti will be offering Embodying Nettles.
