SHAMANIC PLANT CEREMONIALIST Practitioner Training

FEB - OCT 2027

An advanced, experiential training designed for those ready to support others and enter direct, ceremonial communion with the intelligence of the Plant Kingdom.

Leading the Way for the Future of transformational Plant Medicine Ceremonies.

Across cultures and lands, the relationship between humankind and the plant kingdom has always been an intrinsic part of our evolution. Long before the rise of modern healthcare or the commercial wellness industry, communities gathered in sacred circle with the land.

While the mainstream psychedelic movement has recently popularised intense, altered-state ceremonies, it has inadvertently created a misconception that humans require dramatic, psychotropic experiences to achieve profound healing. We know this is not the case.

The non-psychotropic plants and trees growing right on our doorstep are stepping forward as the master teachers for our times.

They are calling us away from ungrounded flights from reality and inviting us into a slower, deeply rooted communion, a path where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and where healing is integrated directly into the fabric of day-to-day life. As a result, there is a growing need for practitioners who can hold ceremonial space with exceptional care, compassion, humility, and absolute integrity.

The Shamanic Plant Ceremonialist Practitioner Training is an advanced pathway designed explicitly for those who have already begun their journey with shamanic wisdom and earth-based spirituality, and are now ready to step into a personal journey of sacred service.

If you are deeply dedicated to your own ongoing self-development, carry a profound respect for the unseen realms, and possess the inner maturity to hold steady, compassionate space for others as they navigate their own transformation, this training offers the structure and community you have been seeking. This practitioner training is an invitation to transition from student to space-holder.

For over a decade each we have pioneered non-psychotropic plant medicine ceremonies in service to the Plant Kingdom.

Guided directly by the plants and the trees, we are ready to share the harvest of our experience through a structured, supportive and deepening curriculum. This path is not for those seeking quick fixes or superficial results; it is a significant personal and financial undertaking that requires a genuine investment of your time, your focus, and your willingness to receive deep, small-scale mentorship from both of us, and more importantly the Plant Kingdom.

By committing to this journey, you will learn to recognise the subtle magic of local landscape, partner with Plant Kingdom allies to facilitate deep emotional and energetic restoration, and develop the rigorous ethical boundaries required of a professional ceremonialist.

At a time when people are searching for authentic meaning, nervous-system regulation, and a true sense of ecological belonging, sitting in a circle to listen to our Plant Kingdom Elders and Grandmother Earth is more than a spiritual practice - it is a lifeline.

If you possess the internal clarity, the resources, and the soulful dedication to answer this call, we invite you take your place in the circle.

This is For You if:

You long to turn your passion of ceremony and plants into a meaningful purpose in your life.

You are already working with individuals or groups and want to deepen the way you hold others in their healing journey with the support of plant allies.
