Nourish your relationship with plants, grief, and creativity, with flowers as guides for creating through times of loss and transformation.
Root your creative practice in attunement to yourself and the earth.
course Topics
In addition to doing a deep dive of the folklore (primarily European and Greek myth) of 10 different plants, we will explore the following themes together:
Flowers and plants as allies for the underworld of grief
Plants as collaborators in creative process
Reimagining ancestral plant stories and myths (with encouragement of participants to explore their ancestral stories and lineages beyond the ones we explore in class)
Grieving as Shapeshifting + Being with the Unknown
Becoming Compost & Flora: Ripening into Death
Story Telling, Creative Writing, Art Making, + Myth Making
Entanglement + Collapse: staying with the trouble of love amidst collective + ecological loss
This self paced study is for you if…
You are looking for a creative outlet with which to express and process grief and loss
You also want a creative practice that makes space for joy, play, and pleasure, and rest
You love the idea of turning to the more than human world as inspiration and creative collaborators
You are looking for ways to re-enchant your creative practice (or your life in general!)
You are looking to hunker down with resources, rituals, and your creative and grief tending practice on your own, rather than participate in the cohort aspects of the course
You are feeling lower energy for being with other humans right now but still want to build relationship with the plants and your creative practice!
You want to move through materials at your own pace, and revel in taking your time 🐌
