9-Week Online Course
30th July - 24th September, 2026
Live Sessions at 10:30am PDT / 6:30pm BST

At a time of environmental and social upheaval, many of us feel a pull to reconnect: to our ancestors, to the land, and to the plants that have always grown alongside us.

HONOURING

New & Old Growth

This course is for those who know that there’s vital medicine to be found off the beaten track.

Celtic Plantlore gathers a remarkable circle of herbalists, storytellers & visionaries to help us follow our pull to reconnect with land and lore.

Together, we’ll explore folk medicine stories & songs, herbal traditions born from political struggle, and the long relationship between people and the green world, both historical and present-day.

We’ll look at how plants have carried communities through hard times and helped them grow again.

Gathering our Resilience

The arts of oral storytelling, song, and hands-on skill learning are ancient and resilient, near impossible to fully erase or silence, like many of our good medicine weeds.

By way of the hedge, at the edge of the mind, and from deep within the heart – we will dive in, together, to find inspiration for embodied presence within hard times.

RETURNING TO

The Vitality of Land & Lore

This season is an invitation to grow our ecological literacy & imaginal muscles, and to let that change how we live.

To know the plants around us is to begin reading the language of the land – noticing the histories still living in the hedgerows, remembering how to greet our more-than-human kin, and reacquainting ourselves with familiar weeds as old sources of food and medicine.

Over 9 weeks, wisdom keepers, educators, and folklorists from Scotland, Ireland and England, alongside descendants living in Turtle Island, will guide us on the vibrant green path.

Through old songs and stories, we’ll encounter ancestral relationships with the plants of these lands, while also learning from present-day herbalists working in alliance with the green world for social change.
