Learn the native plants and mushrooms of Europe through a holistic combination of traditional knowledge and direct experience

In this living classroom we go beyond textbooks and lectures and enter into direct communication with the wisdom of plants.

All of our ancestors have communicated directly with plants in the past. It is something deeply imbedded within us, and re-awakening this skill is easier and more natural than you might believe.

Through guided inner journeys, experiential learning, storytelling, historical explorations and clinical teaching, you will learn to cultivate profound connections with some of the most important plants and mushrooms in traditional European medicine.

Simultaneously, we deep-dive into herbal actions, how to recognise in the wild, recognising relevant clinical cases, medicine-making, and more.

Merging traditional medicine, folklore, history, scientific findings and direct plant spirit communication. Join us in establishing an intimate and connective understanding of our dear herbal allies, together.

“Science asks us to learn about organisms. Traditional knowledge asks us to learn from them.”

— Robin Wall Kimmerer

Let the foliage unfold its teachings as we explore the art of conversing with the botanical realm, spirit to spirit.

Welcome to a space where plants speak, and we listen.

I was both touched and impressed by Ivy’s knowledge and wisdom about the world of plants as well as her wonderful guidance. I have never connected with a plant that deeply, with my mind, my body and my soul. A very unique experience that leaves a clear trace. Thank you!

To partake in Ivy’s Talk Plant To Me community means that you don't just learn about a particular flower or herb - it means that you dive into the world of the plant in a holistic way to get to know them on several levels. In these two hours of the workshop, you are invited to connect on a physical, emotional and spiritual level to bring you closer with your whole being. This way of learning makes so much sense once you tried it, and Ivy is the perfect guide for that journey. Definitely recommended!

I had been longing to reconnect to my European roots through the wisdom of plants in a sacred form and it is with gratefulness and bliss that I experienced the teachings passed by Ivy and Talk Plant To Me. Her energy creates a space of deep listening, a balance between feminine delicacy and a firy energy that inspires organic transformation. The rituals are easy to follow and allow anyone to learn something new. I appreciated both the theory about the botanical characteristics and history and the meditative practice to connect to the spiritual aspect of the plant, a loving support to get closer to the animistic consciousness rooted in ancient European tradition.

I had such profound dreams after our ritual. So good to connect with you all and sit in this circle.
