Join us for a rich and inspiring conversation, where we’ll expand our perceptions of the plant world and open ourselves to new ways of earth connection through a reciprocal and animist lens.

This is an inspiring chance to explore the magic of Neantóg (Nettle) and Yew, connect with a vibrant community, and either step through the doorway of Celtic plantlore or deepen your existing path.

In this session, we’ll meet with Lucy O'Hagan, the founder of Wild Awake Ireland, who will thread together her own intimate experiences with Neantóg (Nettle), along with associated traditional folklore and practices. Lucy will guide us on a journey into deeper connection with Neantóg and reveal the gifts that lie in its sting.

We’ll also hear from Charlotte Pulver, who will share some Yew tree lore & myths and lead us in a practice for connecting with the consciousness of the Yew—trees that were highly revered as the 'Tree of Life' and the 'God Tree' in Celtic cultures. With their ability to grow forever, they are profound ancestral wisdom keepers and embodiments of eternity on this planet.

"The plants bring an abundance of generous gifts, offering diverse expressions of divinity."

- Carole Guyette

May we be nourished & inspired through deepening our connection with this animate Earth.

Our Hosts

Lana Lanaia

COURSE CO-WEAVER

Greetings. My name is Lana, I was born in England, live in the Scottish Highlands, and have spent much of my life journeying within the landscapes and sacred sites of these Isles. I am a musician, facilitator of retreats, ritual & healing spaces, within which we may remember the beauty & sacredness of life.

From a young age, I carried the question of ‘where is the indigenous wisdom of our lands?’ I have travelled and learned from indigenous cultures, worked with sound & healing, grown and tended biodyanmic gardens, lived in the wild, and learned a lot from listening with the land.

It is a blessing to now work within Weaving Remembrance, co-creating ways of gathering, learning, mending; sowing seeds of earth honouring ways into the soil again.

Hanna Leigh

FOUNDERESS, WEAVING REMEMBRANCE

Hi! My name is Hanna Leigh, (IG: @hannaleighsong) and I am a Singer-Songwriter, Voice Doula, Weaver, and Devotee of this precious, living Earth. I was raised in California (Chumash territory) though in recent years have spent extensive time residing on ancestral lands in the Celtic isles. My people migrated to the U.S. several generations ago from England, Scotland, Norway, Germany and the Netherlands.

This organization, Weaving Remembrance, was birthed through my own passion to to reclaim ancestral wisdom and grow in intimate reciprocity with this miraculous earth that sustains us.

I feel passionate about connecting folks with earth and ancestral wisdom through our online and in-person offerings. Having studied herbalism from many different angles in the past 20 years, I am excited to be offering this series focused on plantlore of the Celtic Isles.

Come join us in the magic of reawakening to these old ways!
