Initiation is an ancient form of ceremony that brings one into maturity and results in taking up one’s place within the collective. In traditional, indigenous society, initiation was a coming of age ceremony where the young person became an adult, stepping into their role within the “tribe”. The elders would perform the initiations, which sometimes took up to a year to complete and always culminated in a great ceremony and then a feast. All the great wisdom and spiritual philosophies of ancient history including Babylonian, Egyptian and Greek Mystery traditions had initiatory systems at their core, designed to lead the initiate back to unification with their divine consciousness and self-realization.  In modern times the initiation process has been mostly forgotten, so most adults alive today have never had the opportunity to come into their maturity, bringing forth their gifts in order to serve the community. The elders, too, are mostly gone, so even for those who would like to be initiated into being truly human the opportunity does not exist. In my deep work with plants I continue to be amazed by how they step up to the plate and provide us with exactly what we need. So what is emerging is that the common plants are taking up the role of the elder and offering us initiation into what it means to be truly human, living sanely within the collective.

A plant initiation is an opportunity to work deeply with a plant or tree, where you not only receive personal healing but also become bonded with the particular plant and receive it’s healing gifts, which you can then apply in your work with yourself, others, or the planet. This form of  intimate sharing with a plant allows for you to receive guidance on many issues, open doors of perception,  undergo healing on all levels, and expand your consciousness. Plant Initiations are probably the most powerful way to build your relationship with plants and trees into a co-creative partnership where the plant or tree becomes your beloved for life, who supports you to be your authentic self, journeying on the path you came to walk this time around.
