In this seated circle we will slow all the way down, share a warm cup of her tea, and settle into a guided meditation to meet Damiana directly, not as a thing but as a being, following her warming, gently enlivening presence as she eases tension and opens the heart. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an introduction to plant communion, a grounded way of coming into relationship with the consciousness of a plant that asks nothing more than a little spaciousness and an open heart. You will leave with more than an evening: a simple practice you can carry home, so that Damiana becomes the first of many plant allies waiting at your own fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo experience is needed, only curiosity and a willingness to remember. And if she calls to you, you are welcome to take her home: Damiana's tincture will be made available right here at Anima Mundi, with 15% off for everyone in the circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Martyna\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMartyna is an herbalist and circle facilitator working in the lineage of the wise woman, a student of the plants and the old traditions of tending them.
