Snail Mail Courses

Tend Her Garden

This course is specifically for women, or those interested in women’s health, herbs, archetypes and cycles. The course includes 4 beautiful packages sent out for work under each moon cycle.

Every season students will receive a little set of plant notes on a specific plant kin for each month of that season. We’ll work with a plant with information, exercises and recipes you can make. Plant kin will reflect the time of year so that you can find the plants in the wild or in gardens but every package will include a sample remedy of the plant to work with and there are a couple from more distant shores.

Each student will go deeper into their relationship with that plant and forge a small apothecary of the plants of 13 moons, they will learn how to tend their garden. Vulval, womb, vaginal, breast and emotional health will be explored alongside menarche, moon time, fertility, menopause and cronehood. Grief will also be explored in relation to being a woman and we will explore the affinity of certain plants with the archetypes of womanhood. The course will be immersive and magical.

If you do not identify with the gendering of ‘woman’ but still want to find out more about gynae health, connect with plants over the year please do contact me. If you are a woman – self-identifying or otherwise – who does not have a womb / breasts / vulva etc. please also do get in contact as these plant kin work beautifully in different ways for all of us.

Wild, Seasonal, Local

This is a rolling course so you can join at any time. There will be 4 deliveries with herbal kin for each month of the year. Each mini package within the delivery will have different plants to look out for and exercises to do for one year. At the end, no matter when you start, you will have a calendar of local plants and how to use them.

This is a more general herbal medicine course than Tend Her Garden and is not specific to anyone or any kind of plant. The herbs explored are ones we could find locally, ones that might be in our kitchen cupboards or ones that we could most likely have access to in some way.

Course includes:

4x mailed out packages – this includes a beautiful little pamphlet or notes about what is growing and information about these plants, how to identify, where to find them and how to approach and use them, recipes, beautiful samples to try at home and deepen into connection.

Investment for 12 months of Wild, Seasonal, Local:

Rose folk (those who cannot afford more) £197
