In this Hawthorn Plant Spirit Initiation we will retreat and immerse into the 10 acres of meadow and woodland at The Clophill Centre, to experience and receive spiritual teachings, divine wisdom and personal healing from our native tree Hawthorn. This plant spirit initiation aligns just after the full moon; a potent time to be journeying with Hawthorn as the plant supports us to heal heartbreak and grief, teach us about self love and love of others, and how to hold boundaries with softness. 

What To Expect

This day is an opportunity to explore and receive the spiritual medicine of Hawthorn as we journey with ceremony, elixirs, breathwork, and other connection and healing practices. For those who wish to deepen their experience and are able to, will be dieting with Hawthorn throughout the day to allow our connection practice to deepen. We will end our day with a nourishing meal, grounding ourselves and integrating the received wisdom. We welcome people from all walks of life and this day is suitable for those who are beginners or those who are more experienced.
