The Medicine Council:

A 6-Week Ceremony with Mimosa

August 11- September 15th

A transformative 36 day experience designed for wisdom seekers, self-healers, and medicine keepers ready to awaken a deeper, more devotional relationship with Mimosa, Albizia Julibrissin.

Together, we will walk the spiral path of Mimosa 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 Mimosa not just as a tree, but as a teacher, ally, and ancient guardian.

From Past Council Sisters

  • 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

  • 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.

    -JoAnna Pelletier

  • I've been overwhelmed with gratitude for this experience, for the knowledge and wisdom, for the plant spirit, as well as our sisterhood. And feeling so full of love for this Earth and that Nora has helped guide me to now connect in this way.

Meet your Guide

Hey Goddess,

I'm Nora, and I'll be spiraling with you through this deeply transformative Medicine Council experience with the support of the Mimosa Tree.

I am here as your teacher and your guide. Trust, it is my work to hold the container so that you can arrive exactly as you are—to slow down, soften, and enter into relationship with Mimosa.

I've been studying herbalism and medical botany for the past seven years, and the plants have profoundly changed my life. They've taught me that healing isn't just about learning herbal actions (though you absolutely will). It's about remembering how to listen.

I longed for a place where women could gather not only to study the plants, but to sit with them. To receive their teachings through ceremony, stillness, intuition, and shared experience. Because plants don't only heal the body—they shape the heart, awaken the spirit, and remind us of who we are.

Mimosa was one of the first plant spirits I sat in devotion with.  Making remedies from the flowers and bark, listening beneath the branches, allowing the medicine to work through me before I ever offered her to this community.

And while I've worked with this plant spirit for years, this season has revealed another layer of wisdom.

She's known throughout many herbal traditions as the Tree of Happiness—but not because she asks us to ignore our pain.

Quite the opposite.

Mimosa teaches that joy is something we cultivate alongside grief. That the heart was never meant to choose between tenderness and resilience. The reminder that we are capable of holding both.

In traditional herbal medicine, Mimosa has long been cherished as a tonic for the Heart and Spirit—supporting the nervous system during times of grief, emotional exhaustion, heartbreak, anxiety, restlessness, and the quiet heaviness that can settle after carrying too much for too long. Inviting the body to exhale. Encouraging  the spirit to open again. Helping restore our capacity to feel delight without denying what has hurt us.

Spiritually, I've come to know Mimosa as the one who teaches emotional alchemy.

As we move through this season—a season that can feel full, fast, and demanding—Mimosa offers us a different rhythm. One where nervous systems regulate through beauty. Where healing happens through community.

So dear sister...

Will you join us?

I hold these councils as sacred circles of women remembering together. The medicine of the wild is always available. But something extraordinary happens when we gather to receive it collectively.

The ripple extends far beyond this circle.

And we need your medicine, too.

This is your invitation into the ritual your heart has been asking for.

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

If we eat the wild, it begins to work inside us, altering us, changing us. Soon, if we eat too much, we will no longer fit the suit that has been made for us… A wild light begins to gleam in our eyes…and the more we eat of it, the more we will awaken.
