A Tender Unfurling
Plant Kin Retreat with Nettle, Oat + Balm, 5-7th March, 2027
We will work with three plant kin over this weekend – nettle, milky oats and lemon balm – nourishing, nurturing and soothing medicine kin.
Nettle strengthens when we've been depleted, brings iron and vitality back into the body. milky oats nurtures us when our nerves need replenishment, the sleep is light and the mind won't settle. Lemon balm lifts that which weighs on our hearts and reminds us of sweetness even when we're weary. Together this triad are kin for coming back to ourselves in connection and nourishment.
On this retreat we will bring sensory herbalism and wild exploration into our work, softness, relation to self and abundance with land and waters holding us.
We will be staying together at the beautiful Halamiling Farm and will share food, stories, craft, remedy and connection, all woven into the retreat. We will have time at the farm and time on the land and by the sea, making tinctures, tasting teas, walking slowly and letting the greening world hold us as we deepen into relation with our nature kin.

Beyond the Hedgerow
Plant Kin Retreat with Mugwort, Vervain + Yarrow, 8-10th October, 2027
We will work with three plant kin over this weekend – mugwort, yarrow and vervain. These kin are magical and bring the liminal spaces into consciousness, each with deep relation to boundaries, thresholds and the wild beyond.
These kin guard the edges and the spaces between, mugwort, a wayfaring kin, opens dreams and clears the way for seeing what lies ahead, yarrow staunches wounds both physical and emotional, a thousand leaves binding what is torn and drawing out the wild warrior within and vervain is the sacred and magical kin of ancient and brave work – a threshold kin of transition and release. The work may bring dream imagery and depth, edges and protection, healing and transformation.
On this retreat we will bring sensory herbalism and deep nature connection to a nourishing and beautiful space. We will be medicine making, listening to folklore, learning of the stars, land and belonging as we connect with the paths and edges of the North Cornish valleys and coast.
We will be staying together at the beautiful Halamiling Farm and will share food, stories, craft, remedy and connection, all woven into the retreat. We will have time at the farm and time on the land and by the sea, following the hedgerows wherever they lead us.
