The Art of Plant Whispering: Fae Portals

17-19th April 2025

Compton Dundon, near Glastonbury, Somerset

Spend three days in Somerset, immersing yourself in the wisdom and medicine of native, indigenous plants. Our attention will focus upon plants specifically known and revered as fae portals, as entrance points to the faerie realm.

Your heart and body are already experienced in the art of plant whispering, of feeling into the vibrational field of a more-than-human being and extracting meaning. This weekend offers your mind time to slow and space to listen, so that you remember the deep sweet beauty of this more natural, way of being.

  • Explore receiving directly from the wisdom of the plant realm. In essence this is a remembering of your original way of being, of how you moved through the world as an infant, fluent in direct perception and embedded within an all-encompassing net of feeling.

  • Build trust in your inherent intuition, empower yourself.

  • Develop your capacity to listen with your body, deepen sensory awareness.

  • Embark upon your own unique relationships with the plants we encounter, while gaining an understanding of their individual personalities.

This work is highly experiential, you will both learn and unlearn, through experiencing. Fine tuning attention to each sense, ignites deep held memories of humankinds ancient way of being among our plant kin, among all of our more-than-human kin. This is more than a weekend learning directly from plants about who they really are, this is an invitation to shift your state of consciousness. To edge away from the current cultural-norm, toward the more beautiful, inclusive, compassionate, Earth that is waiting to emerge...

This is for you if

  • you are curious about plant consciousness and communicating with the more-than-human.

  • you have worked deeply with jungle medicines and are looking for meaningful connection with more local plants.

  • you are completely new to the concept of plant whispering, but talk to your plants and notice that certain plants or trees make you feel a certain way.

  • you are working within a rewilding, land regeneration and/ or kincentric context, and wish to include the more-than-human voices, but do not have the confidence or skills to hear what they are saying.

  • you are well practiced in the art of plant whispering, love undertaking plant communications within human community, and wish to open yourself more widely to the elementals.

  • if you love plants, love this world, and know there is a more magical way to live.

Brook End is a six acre family run small holding, full of wild corners overflowing with vibrant native plants. If it rains, there is a yurt for shelter. Camping is in the orchard or meadow, serenaded by the local owl population.

For the evenings, there is a wood-fired sauna to warm our bones. While sitting around the fire pit, sharing story and laughter, Bats flying and stars shining overhead, Badgers scurrying at the edges, provides the perfect end to each day.

FAQs

I don't want to camp, can I still come?

Absolutely, of course. Being close to Glastonbury, there are plenty of options for staying locally, everything from shephard's huts to rooms over a pub! The choice is yours.

Can I pay in instalments?

Sure! I require a £50 non-refundable deposit to hold your place. The remaining £280 (£330 total) can be split however you wish, as long as you have completed the payment by 17th April. Get in touch via the contact form on the menu bar and we can work something out.

Is the fee refundable?

The workshop fee is refundable less a £50 admin fee, until 6th March.

I would love to come but the price is beyond me, can you offer a discount?

I hear you. I feel you. However, the running costs of my venue have risen sharply over the last few years, as have my personal living expenses. If you cannot gather the fee of £280, please reach out, as I believe this work needs to be in the world, needs to be shared and I may be able to find a suitable alternative for you.
