LAND & WILD BODY WEAVES ~
Listening to the Land, Reweaving Kinship & Remembering the Animate World
A return to relationship with the more-than-human. We learn to listen through the body, to sense the aliveness of wind, water, stone, and plant. This pillar invites you back into the ancient understanding that you are part of an ecological family — a kinship network that deepens as you cultivate reciprocity, presence, and attunement to place.Folk Herbalism, Seasonal Plant Allies & Ancestral Herb-Craft, The Honorable Harvest: Wildcrafting, wild tending & reciprocity.
Working with the plants of your bioregion in a way that is intuitive, practical, and relational. Through seasonal foraging, medicine-making, plant folklore, and ancestral wisdom, you’ll learn to craft remedies while building genuine partnerships with the herbs who travel beside you. This is herbalism as devotion, remembrance, and embodied skill.Embodied Earth Listening, Somatic Ritual & Wild Body Knowing
A grounding into the intelligence of your own body as a sensing instrument. Through somatic practices, breath, and gentle internal listening, you attune to the subtle languages within and around you. We explore the wild body as bridge between inner and outer landscapes, a place where intuition becomes felt, not forced.Blood, Bone & Belonging -Cyclical Feminine Wisdom
Honouring the menstrual cycle as a spiritual and ecological rhythm. You’ll learn to map your inner seasons, understand your endocrine tides, and live in deeper alignment with your unique cycle. This pillar returns the womb to her rightful place, as a centre of Life, wisdom, creativity, and connection to earth’s own cyclical pulse.Ritual, Ceremony & Mythic Imagination
Reclaiming ritual as a way of making meaning, marking time, and deepening into belonging. Through Celtic myth, story medicine, and seasonal ceremony, we explore how the land speaks through archetype and symbol. This pillar strengthens your relationship with lineage and lore, inviting the mythic into your everyday life.Reclaiming the Witch, Medicine Woman Within
Integral to this remembrance is reclaiming wisdom that has been forgotten, lost, suppressed. Inviting Woman back into living relationship with our inner Healer, the Women in our lineage you know how to tend earth & body. Through this remembrance & reclamation ceremony we journey back through our lineage and meet the severance that happened in our blood so we can retrieve and re- embody our unique medicine that had always been waiting for us.
Wild Womb & Animal Body
We descend through the sacred Altars of the body meeting our tissues with devotional touch & the healing medicine of herbs. We learn together how to meet our Womb, Breasts & skin with deep reverence.
The Inner Ecology of Belonging — Community, Circle, & Shared Hearth
A remembering that healing happens in relationship. Within our online hearth space and during our in-person Scottish retreat, we learn to witness and be witnessed, to share story, to tend grief and joy in community. This pillar nourishes the social soil of your life, teaching you how to belong to yourself, to others, and to the land in deeper ways.
Rooted in Celtic earth traditions and guided by the turning of the wheel of the year, this course invites you to deepen relationship with the land while honouring the wild, rhythmic intelligence of your own body.
Through teachings in folk herbalism, menstrual cycle awareness, seasonal attunement, and somatic practice, you will learn to sense the subtle language of place and the cyclical language within. Each month we weave plant allies, embodiment rituals, womb wisdom, and land-based ceremony to support a return to your natural rhythms — the slow, spiral shared by soil, seed, moon, tide, and blood.
Our sense of meaning and belonging comes from our connection to the land around us, if we are disconnected we are not truly alive. Our felt disconnection is a deep grief, an open wound in our modern culture where we have had an extractive and exploitative relationship towards earth forced upon us by colonialism. We have forgotten our roots. We must reclaim relationship to the land and remember the deep embodied indigenous knowledge that the land is living and we are an extended organism of this great web of life. To reclaim a radical relationship with the land is to re-engage with an ancient wisdom of the animate world, to gain insight and open dialogue with more than human kin, as our ancestors did. To remember right relationship to land and repair frayed threads of our tapestry of wholeness, weaving us back into the land.

You are ready to weave herbalism with intuition, ritual, and ancestral knowledge,

who walk beside you on the path of remembering.You feel the call to return to the body as an act of reclamation. To return to the earth as an act of remembrance. To inhabit your own skin fully, sensuously, tenderly, without apology, to step back into your own power. Because a woman rooted in her body is much harder to control.
You long to remember Touch & Plants as the original medicine. Before clinics and pills, there were hands and plants. Warm palms easing pain, blessing bellies, holding the dying, welcoming the newborn. For thousands and thousands of yearswomen tended themselves, one another and their communities with presence, patience and care.
You wish to live in deeper alignment with inner and outer seasonal cycles, who feel the quiet ache of modern life and its disconnection, and who sense that their body has always known another rhythm,
the slow, spiralling rhythm shared by moon, seed, womb, and weather.You long to honour the wisdom of their womb and wild body, to soften into presence, to trust the instinctive pulse of their own knowing, to return to a way of being that is rooted, cyclical, sensing, and alive.
You are seeking feminine, community-centred, earth-rooted learning, where growth happens in circle, where each voice matters, and where we remember what it feels like to be witnessed with tenderness
as we unfold into deeper versions of ourselves.You feel the call to reclaim belonging, presence, and embodied spirituality, a spirituality that is lived through breath, through root and ritual, through feet on the soil and hands in the medicine bowl, through listening not only with the mind, but with the whole body as an instrument of perception.
If you are longing for a path that is both grounded and mystical,
both skill-building and soul-deepening,
if you can feel the land calling you home in quiet, unmistakable ways,
then this journey is for you.
A place to return.
A spiral to remember.
A hearth to gather around.
A reclaiming of the wild, wise, cyclical self you have always been.

We live in a deeply disembodied culture, severed from the land and the wisdom of our bodies. From every direction we’re taught to override the body’s signals & the earths rhythms, push through, numb out, keep going until exhaustion becomes a badge of honour.
But did it ever occur to you that hating your body, distrusting its wisdom, being severed from the land and disconnecting from its rhythms doesn’t just happen by accident? That this disembodiment, this quiet estrangement from your own flesh, makes you easier to guide, easier to sell to, easier to control?
There are forces in the world, that quite literally profit off of our disconnection. They profit when we see our bodies as problems to be fixed rather than homes to be tended. They profit when we perpetuate the extractive ways upon our earth mother, They thrive when we’re too tired to question, too numbed to resist, too disconnected to imagine another way of being.
To return to the body is an act of reclamation. To return to the wisdom of the earth is an act of reclamation. To inhabit your own skin fully, sensuously, tenderly, without apology, is to step back into your own power. Because a Woman rooted in her body and connected to the earths medicine is much harder to control.
Reclaiming relationship to the body, cyclical wisdom, makes a “dangerous woman”, dangerous in a culture that capitalizes off our insecurities,
on our endless pursuit to be liked, desired, approved of. Dangerous in a world that keeps pushing us toward some shimmering, ever-shifting “ideal,”
while quietly teaching us to shrink, to doubt, to disappear inside ourselves.
We've been fed so many stories about our bodies: that they’re too much, too loud, too needy, too emotional, that they’re unreliable, unpredictable, untrustworthy. We’re told it’s all in our head, that we’re imagining it, that we’re being dramatic, hormonal, hysterical.
And yet, the women who did trust their bodies, who listened to the quiet pulse beneath their skin, who cultivated relationships with plants and land and cycles, who carried wisdom for their communities, who understood the sacredness of rest and intuition
they were marked as a threat. Hunted. Silenced. Burned.
Because they were dangerous women too. Dangerous not to the earth, not to their people, but to the systems that rely on and profit off of our disconnection systems that function best when we are quiet, compliant, palatable.
To be a woman in her body, fully, sensually, unapologetically, is an act of defiance. To rest is resistance.To trust yourself is rebellion. To reclaim your knowing is to become, once again, the kind of woman they once feared. To return to the sacredness of your body and cycles, Is to remember yourself home.
When Women Prayed with Plants
There was a time, before calendars, before clocks, before the world became hurried, when women prayed with plants.
When hands knew the language of leaf and root.
When prayers were whispered into mortar and pestle,
stirred into teas, folded into poultices,
woven into wreaths left on thresholds for blessing and protection.
When women sat at the edge of fields
and felt the seasons move through their bones
like an old remembered song.
When the body was not separate from the land,
but a continuation of it,
a living, breathing echo of soil, tide, moon, and seed.
When the womb was honoured as a sacred cauldron of creation,
and the plants were not tools but companions,
wise, patient, generous in their teachings.
When women went out at dawn
to gather herbs still kissed with dew,
speaking to the green ones as kin.
When stories were medicine,
and the old myths carried instructions
on how to live, how to listen,
how to walk gently in a world alive.
When the lineage of plant wisdom
was passed from grandmother to granddaughter
in baskets, in songs, in the way she placed
a sprig of something fragrant behind her ear
and said this is how we remember who we are.
When grief was laid in the hands of yarrow,
and mugwort was burned to call back the dreaming soul.
When nettle was gathered for strength,
rose for softening,
hawthorn for the heart’s longings and healings.
There was a time when women prayed with plants.
And that time is being remembered.
It returns each time a woman places her bare feet on the earth.
Each time she listens to her body’s quiet truth.
Each time she remembers that her intuition is an ancient oracle.
Each time she turns toward the land not for escape,
but for conversation.
The remembering is already happening in you.
The plants have been waiting.
The land has been listening.
Your body knows the way.
Plants are not alternative Medicine, they are the Original.
Herbal medicine has been essential to sustaining the health and wellbeing of humankind. From the very beginning, humans evolved alongside plants, developing unique receptors in every system of the body that respond to plant compounds — a reflection of our shared evolutionary path.
The first dated use of plant medicine goes back to archaeological evidence from the Paleolithic age, approximately 60,000 years ago, with findings at the Shanidar Cave in Iraq. Written records of medicinal plants also date back thousands of years, such as Sumerian tablets from around 3000 BCE and the Ebers Papyrus from ancient Egypt (circa 1550 BCE). with every known ancient culture maintaining a relationship with plants as medicine. The first isolation of individual plant compounds occurred in the 18th century, scientifically affirming what our ancient ancestors and the wise women of our lineages had known and practiced for millennia.
Plants continue to play an essential role in modern medicine — the word drug itself originates from the Latin word for “dried plant.” Thousands of modern medicines have their roots in plant chemistry. For example, one of the most potent pain-relieving medicines, morphine, is derived from the opium poppy. Modern medicine would not exist without plants. And while isolated plant compounds can provide powerful medicine, whole-plant preparations consistently offer more sustainable and integrative healing, creating a synergistic experience within our biology.
Each time we commune with our plant kin — sipping herbal tea, taking a tincture, or inhaling the camphor-like oils that soothe and relax our systems — we awaken our connection to the natural world and nurture our wellbeing.
Why Bio-Regional Folk Herbalism?
Folk Herbalism is an ancient practice of engaging with Plants as medicine.
Bioregional herbalism is the practice of cultivating deep relationship and reciprocity with place — meaning we look to the plants and land around us for medicine, healing, and wisdom. It may be understood as one of the oldest forms of relationship our earliest human ancestors had with the natural world. When our ancient ancestors first evolved alongside plants, they formed a deep, embodied connection.
Over millennia, humans have nurtured relationships with plants and the natural world — learning what to eat, which plants offer medicine, and how to live in harmony with our environment. Our relationship with plants is as old as time itself. The indigenous knowledge passed down through generations holds the wisdom of humanity’s evolution alongside nature.
Bioregional herbalism is rooted in relationship to the land we inhabit — to the native plants growing around us and the earth beneath our feet. This practice holds the potential for profound cultural and planetary healing, as it helps us reconnect with the land as a source of belonging and kinship. Within this framework, the land becomes a partner and an ally, rather than something separate from us. We begin to see ourselves as extensions of the whole, woven in intimate, animate relation with the web of life.
Bioregional herbalism teaches us how to be ecological stewards and offers deep nourishment on both physical and spiritual levels. It provides a framework for developing a system of healthcare that is place-based, plant-based, ecologically sound, and capable of operating independently from the exploitative systems born of colonialism. This practice carries an intimate understanding of the plants, land, and ecosystems we are part of — guiding us in the protection and tending of nature, and of our own wellbeing.
Your Guide - Freya Broad.
Freya is a Womb-Keeper, Bio-regional Folk Herbalist, Regenerative Womb Care Practitioner and animist artist.
Weaving her Ancestral lineage of Celtic Roots into her teachings of supporting others in returning to Earth’s Wisdom. Freya was born & grew up in a rural village in the Heart of Scotland, where her family have grown roots for over three generations. The landscape that shaped her relationship to the world is anchored in her family traditions of land-based practice, seasonal rhythms, farming, gardening, growing food & living in reciprocal and sustainable relationship with the land. She comes from a bloodline of generations of farmers, gamekeepers, gardeners, growers & herbalists. Her ancestry is woven with threads of Scottish, Cornish & Polish blood. The Celtic landscape, myths, traditions & medicine deeply informs her practice of guiding others back into relationship with the animate world & the wisdom of our wild bodies.
Over the past 10 years Freya has been devoted to remembering the old ways, ancestral traditions, earth based feminine rituals - inviting back harmony to the human body, mind and spirit. She is deeply passionate about returning to the wisdom held in our bones & the land, reconnecting ourselves back to living as an extension of the natural world - not separate from it. Her prayer with the plants is that of deep relationship & remembrance - to be in service to restoring harmony to the earth and human body through returning to ways of being that nourish both deeply, to ways the once sustained us all, as beings of the earth.
Freya has been lucky enough to be raised by her two Grandmothers, both carrying ancient earth wisdom. Her Maternal Grandmother Barbara, being a fund of knowledge on wild herbs, homegrown plants/veg, relationship to the earths seasons & cycles, traditional healing recipes & medicines from both her Polish & Scottish roots. Her paternal Grandmother Ann, was a midwife and nurse in her royal majesty’s nursing core, devoting decades of her life tending the thresholds of birth and death, supporting women through the initiation of childbirth and tending to men’s wounds through war. Both Freya’s lineages of the feminine deeply informs her work with the land and plants.
Freya’s devotion to the Womb & healing feminine lines, has been a deeply profound and personal journey. Tending to her own body through menstrual imbalances, pregnancy loss and the thresholds we walk as women with our wombs. Through years of imbalance, pain & medication from western medicine, freya slowly began to return home to her Womb through her relationship to plant medicines and the land. Her study of the menstrual cycle, hormonal imbalances, womb dis-ease, holistic nutrition & hands on womb care ; has informed her work of tending to the Womb, supporting in the healing of disconnection and returning to the power and vitality of Woman.
Over these years Freya has deepened her awareness and connection to wild herbs, folk medicine & foraged plants. Listening deeply to the whispers of the unseen realms, opening herself up to receive contact from plant spirits, informing how to be in relationship with these wild allies and what medicine they can bestow upon our lives. Wild foraging & making your own medicines is integral to her practice, working seasonally with wild herbs & learning how to harness they’re medicine for tending to the body & spirit.
