Shamanic Plant Ceremony with Fireweed
Join us in ceremony with Fireweed. We will experience a vibrational essence and tincture from the plant, do guided shamanic journeys, and sing and tone with the plant spirit.
The last 4 years, we have done a plant ceremony at Fairy Congress; Oak, Yarrow, Hawthorne and Goldenrod. In 2025, it’s Fireweed’s turn.
The focus of these plant ceremonies is to
– experience a healing from the plant spirit
– develop a working relationship with the plant
– learn how its medicine pertains to you and your community.
The Haida people of the Pacific Northwest believe that fireweed is a symbol of resurrection and rebirth. The plant’s quick regrowth after fires is seen as a reminder that new life can emerge from destruction.
“Fireweed flower essence assists the restoration of one’s self after a devastating loss.”
