The Medicine Council

A 6-Week Ceremony with Pine

October 7 - November 18

A transformative 42 day ceremonial experience designed for wisdom seekers, self-healers, and medicine keepers ready to awaken a deeper, more devotional relationship with Pine.

Together, we will walk the spiral path of Pine’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 Pine 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 counsel 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 Pine Tree.

I do have to say, the Pine is truly our guide, and I am really the space holder and fellow medicine woman walking alongside you through it.

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)!

Pine has been whispering to me since I started learning the native plants on the land here in South Carolina. It brings an energy of resilience, and Pine speaks to me to lean back and trust. When I started getting curious about the next plant spirit for our council, Pine kept dropping green pine cones for me, and after a big tree was cut in my neighborhood it told me that it wanted to be respected more. And so I listened, and I will be sharing a recipe and a green pine cone syrup I keep close to my heart. We will be honoring and respecting this teacher for who Pine truly is. Our Guide.

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

One of our greatest fears is to eat the wildness of the world.

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