Gracilis medicina (slender medicine)
The slender bodies of birch cover the northern world - a consistent companion in times of dark or light. As spring emerges, the birch begins to draw sap upwards from the cold earth, pulling life into its many unfurlings.
Viridi lux (Green light)
In this session we examine the agency and regenerative action of a plant that moves itself through many ecologies, partnering with trees with a force that can remain in equilibrium, or tip over into dominance.
Potent benedictio (potent blessing)
A tree of purification, transformation and fertilisation - we turn to the pine at the peak of seasonal fecundity, ready to draw on its teaching as we sit in its shade.
caelun et terrum (heaven and earth)
Every branch of the upright ash curves up towards the heavens - leaves radiating in ceaseless, silent sound. To wonder in the presence of the ash is to dwell on precarity - the changing states of a world in flux.
Matrix silva (womb of the forest)
To understand heather’s presence among trees invites a change of perspective. The ecology of heather is an exploration of the maternal - the succession of a world that is always giving birth to itself.
Chiarascuro (light and dark)
Elder is the very essence of summer with its fragrant flowers and soot-dark fruits. It was said that an elder planted by your house would keep the devil away.
Tardus incrementum (slow growth)
The mighty oak needs no introduction, this is an invitation to let yourself held by the earth as we spend time with the trees, turning our mind towards the open invitation of sleeping beneath them.
Hylophobia (fear of the woods)
A tree to be feared? Is there such a thing? In this session we are drawn into the swamp ecology of the alder, allowing ourselves to sink into those boggy places that store so much hidden life.
Custodes (the watchers)
A tree of life and a tree of death - the yew holds an effortless paradox, inviting us to relinquish easy categorisation and allow for mutability.
