Plant As Prayer with Herbalist Rebbecca Golden
Plants are a doorway into Divine Creation. Using our senses to get to know the plant world, our intuitive sense begins to open, and a direct connection to Plant Spirit and Adonai Ha'aretz, The Earthly G-d, is formed. The healing plants can serve as a pathway for our prayers and as messengers for answers. Come spend time in plant meditation and prayerand find out what messages the plants hold for you.
