In my studies of shamanic herbalism, I have discovered that the
plants have a great deal of wisdom that is not in books. To speak
to a plant directly and ask, "What have you for me?", is a profound and beautiful experience and beyond what any human can know.
When we open our hearts to not knowing the answer and seek from this place,
everthing changes and expands into a greater reality.
*We gather together in circle monthly, opening our hearts to the compassionate mysteries of the plants. 
*We spend time out on the earth. We are present, breathing the breath of the plants, listening deeply and receiving the wisdom for which we came.
*The shamanic herbal tradition of the wise woman is studied through our simple acts of listening, asking, gathering, offering gratitude and crafting plants at our doorsteps.
*We share the gifts offered by the plants generously, teaching what we have learned to others in our communities.
*Problems become our allies. We discover healing through listening deeply to our intuition. We see our stories through new eyes. We are transformed and deeply held by the compassion of the plants and the shamanic realm of helpers and guardians.
*Open Hearted connections are created amongst all of us participating.
This circle is an opportunity to discover your unique path with the plants.
Your inspirations will create its depth!

Rose Mysteries Weekends,
We gather once a month at our beautiful farm on Whidbey Island, just 10 minutes

What people are saying.....
"Over the past 13 months, the Herbal Wisdom Circle has been a tremendous gift. In high school I came across this amazing truth while reading Ralph Waldo Emerson...'The greatest delight which the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me, and I to them.'And realized I was not alone in my feelings while in Nature.Being on Julie's land transported me back to my childhood in rural Maryland where I communed with Nature. And, again, I was reminded that I was not alone while regaining a piece of myself that I had unconsciously been missing terribly. My only wish is that I had had access to the knowledge that Julie so generously passed along 30 years ago when I was on the land of my childhood. Oh, how many wild roses there were!
with love, S R-L, Participant, Herbal Wisdom Circle ~13 Month Program, 2009-2010
"Julie is foremost an herbalist who offers her extensive knowledge about herbs and “weeds” on both a practical and spiritual level. As a participant in the Herbal Wisdom Circle ~ 13 Month Program, I learned how to engage freely with nature. Julie and her Whidbey Island land created an environment conducive for me and other participants to learn and heal through the wisdom of what the earth offers to us."
P.P. , Herbal Wisdom Circle ~ 13 Month Program Participant, 2009-2010
"This kind of experience is not in a book, it is in the tending of the garden, walking on your land, gathering the salad greens and passing the talking stick. Your program brings herbalism into daily life. I didn’t have to 'check my life at the door' In fact it was necessary that I bring it in and let the plants have a look at it. "
Denise Paulette, completed our Women and Plants, Shamanic Herbal Apprenticeship Program
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. for such a beautifully sacred experience with rose.
I feel as if Rose has opened an unexpected portal in my spirit and she is beckoning me through."R.N., Seattle Therapist
"We learned about Rose through a traditional approach, while we also learned from Rose through deep attention. The immersion was both healing and enlightening."
