The Medicine Council

A 6-Week Ceremony with Southern Magnolia

May 12 - June 16

A transformative 37 day ceremonial experience designed for wisdom seekers, self-healers, and medicine keepers ready to awaken a deeper, more devotional relationship with Southern Magnolia, Magnolia Grandiflora.

Together, we will walk the spiral path of Magnolia and Nora’s teachings — exploring the medicinal properties, spiritual significance, and energetic essence through guided rituals, plant spirit meditations, and embodied community experiences.

This sacred container blends medical botany, folk wisdom, ceremonial practice, and body-spirit integration, inviting you to engage with Magnolia not just as a tree, but as a teacher, ally, and ancient guardian.

Testimonials

  • Working with Nora is pure magic and medicine. Being a part of her medicine council was life changing. I learned so much about the plant we were focused on which helped me tap into my own personal wisdom. Taking time to embody the spirit and wisdom of the plant was truly transformative.

    Heather Greene

  • The extract, oil and tea were beautiful daily reminders to stay gentle with myself, with the process of life. And I had the feeling that I could arrive to the circle in any form and see/be seen from that perspective. I recommend this plant council for anyone who wants to connect more fully with the plant world, and in turn their own spirits - life changing!

    Evan W.

  • Stepping into the circle feels like stepping into an ancient rhythm—where listening, sharing, and sitting with the plants become a form of medicine all their own. I felt held, seen, and reconnected to something much larger than myself. The practices are simple yet profound, weaving community and spirit together in a way that lingers long after the circle ends. For anyone curious or new to this path, I would say: come with an open heart, and you will leave with a deeper sense of belonging and remembrance.

Meet your Guide

Hey Goddess, I’m Nora! I will be spiraling with you through this truly transformative Medicine Council experience with the support of the Southern Magnolia tree.

I am here as your teacher and your guide. Trust, it is my work to hold the container so that you can arrive just as you are to commune with Magnolia.

I have been studying herbalism and medical botany for the past 6 years, and the plants have DEEPLY healed me! On this plant journey I was desiring an intimate space to connect with the spirit of the plants with fellow women- because yes we can learn the knowledge (and you will) but more so we can receive the messages and the true teachings of these ancient allies through ceremony and stillness (which you will)!

I have been spending the last two months in relationship with this elder, sitting with her bark and buds in. This plant spirit and I go way back, back to my younger years — and I'm curious if you've already been building your allyship with this wise one too.

Magnolia draws you in with a gentle, pure, nurturing — she creates a tender place within the heart, and once you feel safe and loved inside of that, you begin to see where you have been withholding compassion from yourself and from those around you.

Any stagnant energy — anything built from nervous tension or fear, anything stuck in the body from grief carried too long — Magnolia's spirit sweeps away. This spirit is a softener. She is here especially now, to guide us through the collective emotional distress, to ease with grace, love and compassion. As we move toward summer, towards the busy buzz, she provides the rest and endurance we need.

So dear sister, will you join us? I hold this council as a sisterhood circle joined together. The medicine of the wild is always there. Yet the magic, is in us coming together and practicing it.

This circle ripples out to the world, and we need you. Come join us dear, this is your Critical Ritual for the Spring season.

May this plant spirit become a resource for you to honor and lean on for support.

By the end of our journey, you’ll hold the tools and practices to weave Magnolia Grandiflora’s medicine into your daily rhythms — tending your own healing, intuition, and soul connection through a ritualistic relationship with this special ally.
