This gentle online gathering will explore Elderberry through the theme of Protective Strength using reflection, meditation, and creative art.

Elderberry has a long history of seasonal use. And the Elder plant itself has been surrounded by stories of protection, respect and relationship with the natural world.

We will briefly discuss Elderberry’s history, seasonal associations and folklore. From there, a guided meditation will invite reflection on support, steadiness, and what is worth caring for in our own lives.

Participants will then create a simple collage or art reflection inspired by what emerged during the meditation. The focus is not artistic skill or creating a finished piece. Instead, images, colors, words, and shapes become another way of connecting with Elderberry.

Herbal Wisdom is designed as a calm and welcoming space to connect with plants through experience, reflection, and seasonal awareness. It is not a clinical herbalism course, certification training, or formal Materia medica class.

No prior herbal or art experience is needed.

This class is Educational in nature and not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
