The Plants are outrageous...
Plant work offers a mirror to ourselves, without agenda, with clarity & wisdom that allows us to see what's needed.
A tree or plant, is a being, in deep and intrinsic relationship to the universe; rooted into earth, receiving energy directly from the sun...a simultaneously grounded and cosmic dance.
As are we.
They call us into our own nature, of following instinct and reciprocating energy with all that's around us.
We are always in communication with the beyond human world, and the beings of the earth are talking. How able we are to listen, is up to us.
I work with plants and people in ritual and creative play. We meet with plants to nurture agency, self discovery resilience, collective power and resistance to oppression.
These are sacred, wild and enchanted spaces we swim in.
Through plant connection, folk medicine and creativity we find ourselves human, unbreakably connected to all beings on earth, we meet our edges, journey beyond what we believe is possible, and ultimately find our way to healing, truth and interdependent freedom.
This is a space for Queer, Femme, Female, Non-binary, Trans & Neurodivergent folk and allies. The Plants tend to call to those already walking paths of difference through choice or circumstance...
Plant Magic Circle
In person and online
An online & in person community of intuitive herbalism..
Ritual gatherings to connect with a different plant each month, building your plant council across the year.
Through imagination, embodied intuition and sensory connection we meet with the Plant community. These are brave spaces, celebratory of uniqueness, divergence and the truth of what it is to be human in this lifetime.
An act of curiosity, liberation and revolution as we meet these cosmic beings, who have no time for conditioning, who see US as the cosmic beings, full of potential, that we are!
But...What are Plant Magic Circles..?
They are intentional and supported circles, where we enter somatic, spiritual and playful connection with plants.
We gather to meet plants, diving into intuition and deep listening.
Creativity is a core element of this work, bringing insights into our manifest, everyday world. I draw from experience in the arts and fashion worlds to inform these moments, bringing elements of textiles, free writing, mark making and experimentation.
The wonder and inspiration that we can experience with a plant, can often fade as we find ourselves back in day to day doing. By entering ritual, sharing and making together, we bring those feelings to life, we create a legacy, a reminder that we are wild things too.
Practical workshops
in person in my garden, local woodland, hedgerows and home!
From traditional folk remedies to foraging walks, I run community and 1:1 workshops to learn about the abundance around us, the ages old remedies to support our wellbeing and resilience in the day to day.
As a trained teacher, designer and permaculture practitioner, my workshops are relaxed, playful, full of learning and experimentation, and I am happy to create experiences for all ages and groups.
Get in touch to hear about workshops, to book your own private or group session.
1:1 Plant Meetings
Online or in person
1:1 plant sessions offer an opportunity to bring your questions & intentions. We work with intuition, visualisation, curiosity and creativity for your personal journey, through portals and thresholds in life where you need support and insight beyond what we can discover person to person. 6 sessions recommended to begin.
Letting the plant call us to our truths beyond those given to us by society, history and conditioning.
These sessions can offer deep insights, beyond the thinking & often protecting mind. Working 1:1 with me and the plants offers a deeper exploration of the doorways that plants open, with focused guidance and support for your journey.
Get in touch if for a connection call.

That which we move towards in relationship we protect from destruction, we take into our hearts, where things are harder to break.
"I felt so connected, peaceful and empowered after my foraging experience with Carla.
She’s extremely knowledgeable about plants, and delivers her wisdom in a way that opens
a portal of connection between you and the natural world around you."
Alice
“I just wanted to say that I had the most magical time
meeting you and getting to know the plants you showed us!
Your way of connecting with plants inspired me to try and do the same more often.”
Paola
"It is challenging for me to put into words what it is like working with Carla and her gentle guidance and introduction to plant medicine. It has opened up a whole new way of understanding and being in the world and has allowed me to know and be myself more. I feel like I have met a whole new community of supportive friends and am gradually getting to know them better. Imagine you arrive in a new city and know no-one but Carla, and she gradually takes you round introducing you to the most fantastic beings, wise teachers and dreamers who are ancient, joyful and awesome. These new beings accept and celebrate you at your most strange and most yourself moments. It is truly a delight and privilege to be alive, to know Carla and to get to know plants with her in such a grounded and intuitive way.
I am mostly wary of “wellbeing” or self-care practices that sometimes can feel overly consumerist or apolitical - but Carla’s integrity and commitment to justice through her practice allows me to feel safe, supported and curious about all plants have to offer, knowing that she is deeply committed to respecting the earth and indigenous wisdom and stands in solidarity with all marginalised and oppressed people. This is the opposite of consumption/exploitation/navel gazing. Plants lift our eyes to see the world with awe, compassion, curiosity and a determined commitment to each other and the earth.."
