#126 Plant friends, ritual & anarchy with rowan walker

Hey folks,
this new moon energised me enough to send a special extra episode your way – recorded today, fresh off the microphone!
I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did, it’s been a real joy to speak to Rowan and take some time to reflect on the pandemic, this time, our relationships, our bodies and a lot of other things. Here is some of what we talked about:
  • Herbalism and plant friendships for queer and trans folks
  • Pandemic reflections on slowing down
  • Staying connected to creativity and holy aliveness
  • Anarchism and ritual
  • Supporting ourselves and each other

i’m rowan. i’m an agender white settler of Irish, Lithuanian, Scottish and Sicilian trancestry born on Turtle Island/North America. i’m the creatrix behind of hawthorn and yew, a sacred cauldron of plant kin relationship, ritual, and education. i facilitate community spaces for queer and trans folks for healing re-connection and collaborative learning. through the pathways of ritual + relationship, i seek to spiral ever closer to holy embodied aliveness, and to help others do the same.

Hi, I’m Yarrow

I’m a maker, grief companion and tarot reader living on the East coast of Scotland. 

I facilitate creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, make handmade textile magic and host the Grief Glimmers podcast. My wish is to change the culture around grief and death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.
