Teachings of the Hedge April 11th 2026

We begin our journey under the crab apple tree, at the nettle patch. The teachings of the hedge bring us back to ancient ways, calling us to live and heal by the rhythm of the land. In this first class we will explore stinging nettle, spring greens and the lore of the crab apple tree. Stinging nettle has always been a foundational green ally in both old, and modern times.

Deeply nourishing, deeply intelligent, the great trickster, the milk of the earth, Sister Spinster; you can spend a lifetime with this plant and you’ll have nothing but yourself to lose. She will bring you on a journey, into ritual, into the richness of the soil and the sun. Come sit with Sister Spinster, allow her to spin your spirit in her cauldron, nourish your body, and awaken you into spring.
