Many years of training herbalists has shown me how present the Witch Wound still is among us \u2014 expressed through countless micro-aggressions, not only those we experience from others, but also those we have internalised and turn against ourselves. Left unexamined, this subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) wound can profoundly affect how we grow in sensitivity, deepen our connection with nature, and trust our own expression of it.<\/span><\/p>\n The witch trials, spanning over 300 years, left a vast imprint on the collective psyche. While the direct trauma inflicted on those accused was horrific, our work with this lineage reveals something even broader: that the cultivation of otherness and hatred \u2014 enforced through violence and torture \u2014 seeded a miasm of fear that still moves through our culture today. Even those not drawn to nature-connection may need to look closely at the subtle ways they have inherited or perpetuated this pattern of suppression toward those who walk these paths.<\/span><\/p>\n In this Zoom session, there will be space to share your own experiences of this wound and to listen to the stories of others. Together, we will hold a simple ritual to honour those who have walked these paths before us and to cultivate a compassionate field of solidarity \u2014 one that can support you as you continue on your way.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Exploring the Witch Wound Many years of training herbalists has shown me how present the Witch Wound still is among us \u2014 expressed through countless micro-aggressions, not only those we […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Smoke-202x300.jpg\")
<\/span>\r\n\r\nIncense and root winter dreaming<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Deepening classes<\/strong> are a chance for those who have already studied with the school (for at least the Foundation year) to dive back in with the plants, reconnect with the school, receive mentoring and guidance on their unfolding path and reconnect with peers. They are intended for people who feel ready to dive straight into the plant work.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nCurrent students, those in the journey-person stage, folk who've take time away from the school and graduates are all equally welcome. These days can be taken as CPD.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn this early December session we will be dropping into a deep dreaming state with roots and smokes, welcoming in the liminal magic of winter.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe \u00a340 is a deposit towards the course fee of \u00a3220 - deposits really help me manage numbers, confirm places and dream into the cauldron of people we will be weaving together.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0","_et_gb_content_width":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"TEC\\Tickets\\Commerce\\Module","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[{\"id\":2270,\"type\":\"default\",\"title\":\"Witch Wound (afternoon session)\",\"description\":\"\",\"capacityType\":\"own\",\"price\":\"20\",\"capacity\":15,\"available\":0,\"sharedCapacity\":15,\"sold\":15,\"shareSold\":15,\"isShared\":false,\"currencyDecimalPoint\":\".\",\"currencyNumberOfDecimals\":2,\"currencyPosition\":\"prefix\",\"currencySymbol\":\"\\u00a3\",\"currencyThousandsSep\":\",\"}]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-2268","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry"],"ticketed":["tc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2268\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2269,"href":"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2268\/revisions\/2269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2268"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weedsintheheart.org.uk\/wisdom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=2268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
