The guide introduces the elements, practices and tools of daily rituals of Green Magic

Gathering and Drying Herbs

Before harvesting a plant, take the time to come into contact with it’s existence. Gather only what you need, and no more than a third of the plant – and only where you can find many of the same plant.

Centering Practices

Centering allows us to be in the here and now. It’s the moment in which we are aware of who we are and what we are doing, being interconnected with people, plants, and animals.
