Connecting With Plants To Foster Self-Love, Healing, And Community
Introducing… The Green Witch Way of Radical Self-Care: Connect With Our Plant Elders to Foster Self-Love, Healing & Community
Plants existed on this planet long before humans, and they’ve always taken care of us — they feed us, heal us, and even guide us on our spiritual journeys.
In these times when people are disconnected from nature and suffering more than ever from loneliness and all manner of mental health crises, we need only look to our elders in planetary times — the plants — for nourishment of our bodies and souls, and to help us feel more connected to our global community.
Green Witch* and herbalist Robin Rose Bennett affirms that plants are conscious, living beings. In order to heal ourselves, our communities, and the Earth itself, we need to move into a more loving, responsive, day-to-day relationship with them.
Explore what it means to be a Green Witch, honoring plants and trees as loving, conscious beings — and discover how plants, as our elders, can provide us with physical and spiritual healing.
On Tuesday, August 23, Robin Rose will share revealing insights about the secret magic of plants — and give you a taste of how plants can help you open up to self-love, self-healing, strength, and community.
In this empowering free online event, you’ll:
- Discover what it means to be a Green Witch
- Explore the idea that plants are kin — they are intelligent conscious beings that you can have a relationship with
- Come to understand that plants come into our lives where and when we need them
- Learn about the medicinal properties of mullein and white pine
- Be guided through an experiential practice of connecting with a favorite tree in song and meditation
Robin Rose will also share what it means to be a Green Witch — someone who respects plants as independent living beings and understands that while plants do provide us with medicines and healing, they don’t exist just for us.
A Green Witch believes in the radical idea that plants have their own consciousness, and that all plants have the potential to alter your consciousness.
If you’re feeling isolated and lonely, know that every time you venture into the community of plants and trees, you’ll be interacting with a community of living, conscious beings.
Robin Rose will also share details about the medicinal properties of a few common herbs that can help you elevate your self-care and self-love, providing you with first aid for your mind, body, and soul.
Live long, love life and be well!

* What is a Green Witch?
Arin Murphy-Hiscock the author of The Green Witch’s Grimoire, Spellcrafting, The Pregnant Goddess, Wicca, The Green Witch, The Way of the Hedge Witch, House Witch, The Witch’s Book of Self-Care, Pagan Pregnancy, Solitary Wicca for Life, and The Hidden Meaning of Birds—A Spiritual Field Guide says the following about what a green witch is:
At her core, the green witch is a naturalist, an herbalist, a wise woman, and a healer. She embraces the power of nature; she draws energy from the Earth and the Universe; she relies on natural objects like stones and gems to commune with the land she lives off of; she uses plants, flowers, oils, and herbs for healing; she calls on nature for guidance; and she respects every living being no matter how small.
