About the Training
This course is designed for our students, as well as students from other traditions, who wish to deepen their practice through direct experience and practical application.
Guided by Merav Artzi and Jason Grechanik, both long-time students, guides, and teachers of wisdom traditions, the training draws on more than fifteen years of immersion in Amazonian lineages.
Their work weaves together relationships with Amazonian trees and traditions alongside work with native North American and European trees, rooted in Celtic wisdom and guided by tobacco.
Together, they have guided more than 1,000 people through deep plant processes and have become teachers of teachers.
