ATTUNE
– spiraling through the seasons with ancestral plantlore
& Celtic Isles diasporic community –
Let the plants guide you and community hold you as we follow the spiral of the year.
Together we will undertake a year long exploration into ancestral plantlore, relational herbalism and seasonal attunement. We will explore the herblore of Celtic cultures from the lands today known as Eiré (Ireland), Alba (Scotland) and Cymru (Wales). Through seasonal webinars, coworking sessions, and live Zoom calls, we will gather to deepen with the plants, the seasons, and with each other. This is a circle for learning, for listening, for doing, and for attuning.
you are invited to connect with ancestral plantkin through lore, relationship and ritual as the seasons flow and change.
OVERVIEW
Join us for this community program where we come together over the course of many months to learn and share together.
Guided by the solstices and holy days that Celtic lineages celebrated through time (Samhain, Winter Solstice, Imbolc, Spring Equinox, Beltaine, Summer Solstice, Lúnasa, Autumn Equinox – they go by many names!), we will lean into some of the seasonal lore of our lineages.
We will spend time with specific plantkin and themes signficant to Celtic cultures from the lands today known as Eiré (Ireland), Alba (Scotland) and Cymru (Wales). Together we will open into lore and historical practice; ritual & sacred practice for connection to season, place and kin; and more. We will balance this ancestral work with exploration into the land that we live on, and the life we live alongside of. We will blend bioregonalism and ancestral pathways into a spell to support our ever deepening attunement to the holy wild.
Through recorded webinars, co-working sessions and monthly live Zoom calls to share our experiences, we will deepen together into our ancestral lineages and build living breathing community networks.
Are you ready to devote yourself to plantkin and lineage connection?
lean into ancestral rhythms and relationships, and let them guide you home
Attune Community Structure
TIMELINE: This year long circle runs from Dec – Nov. We begin with the Winter Solstice season and meet on Wednesday evenings 6pm – 8pm ET throughout the year.
BASIC OUTLINE: This program includes webinars of seasonal plantlore, an online community hub, coworking/body doubling sessions for us to work on projects and research, and community calls for sharing our experiences.
-
- WEBINARS: Seasonal webinars will be sent out early in the season for each holy day. They include 30+ plant profiles, sacred practices and ancestral ritual, and invitations for attunement with the land beneath your feet. These will be recorded videos with captions.
- PRACTICE INVITATIONS: Each month, you will be invited to engage in reflective and practical prompts to deepen into the season. You are welcome to do this at your own pace, and you can direct the pace of your learning.
- COWORKING: You will be invited to participate in coworking/body doubling sessions where we support each other in doing some of the work (creative, research based, whatever your passion is) that relates to the seasonal course material. These will take place on Tuesdays from 6-7:30pm ET.
- COMMUNITY CALLS: We will also have seasonal Zoom calls for community connection. We will connect over the material and our experiences over the past weeks, sharing the work we have been doing and what we have learned. These calls will have live transcription enabled and be recorded for folks who can’t make them live. These will take place on Tuesdays 6-7:30pm ET.
- ONLINE COMMUNITY HUB: throughout the season and over the year, we will build connection through the online community forum. This will be a place to share projects you are working on, research you are doing, resources, questions you are sitting with, and a place to build relationships with folks who care about the same things you do. This will be the heart of the program, the place where we stay connected throughout the inhale and exhale of our seasonal calls.
Attune is an invitation to work at the crossroads
where bioregionalism and ancestral plant relations meet.

FAQs
How long will I have access to the course?
Participants will have access to the content for one year after the course completes.
What is the time commitment for this course?
This is a year long program broken up into 8 sections based around the holy days & holy seasons. You will receive a recorded webinar on seasonal plantlore that is approximately 1.5 hours in length. Our coworking calls are 90 minutes, as are our live Community Calls. You are also invited to spend time in between our sessions deepening into plant and seasonal relationship – you might spend anywhere for 15 minutes per month to an hour per week. It’s up to you how deep you want to go!
This is an invitation to devote 2-6 hours per season over the course of the next year tending your ancestral connections with care and intention.
What do I need to participate?
Participants need regular internet access for webinars and live Zoom calls. Folks need access to their email as well. Otherwise, all that is needed is whatever helps you learn and process – whether thats journaling supplies, room the dance, a quiet place to think or take calls in, a comfortable place to sit – etc. Gather what you need to really open to the experience and catch any insight that flows down through you.
What is the difference between the Foundations and Attune programs?
I facilitate two different programs for settlers in diaspora of Celtic Isles lineages: Foundations and Attune.
FOUNDATIONS is the depth, and Attune is the breadth.
Foundations is definitely more rigorous information-wise: theres a ton of content monthly in an online learning library, lots of invitations to practice, and we meet twice a month for 6 months. its for folks seeking more in-depth learning about Celtic Isles culture, historical lore, and plants, and those desiring active, engaged conversations about our place in the world today. This work happens within an explicitly politicized framework. Foundations is sort of like an intensive crash course, and includes more content in a shorter amount of time, lots of group processing convos, embodied practice together, and more.
Attune is focused on building relationships with the land we live on alongside ancestral plants in a slow, unfolding, long term way. Attune is oriented around the four fire festivals and the four solar festivals of the Celtic Isles, and we gather together over the course of an entire year. Each season, participants engage with one webinar of plantlore and sacred practices, and have 2 calls. This program is politicized, as all my work is, but the bonus here is that it also has a spiritual focus. Attune is an invitation to work at the crossroads where bioregionalism and ancestral plant relations meet.
Both programs have online community forum to deepen webs of relationship. Both are suitable for those just starting their cultural reconnection work as well as those who have been engaged in their own practice for years.
In my mind, they definitely both feed into each other, and i think both are important pieces of the work. Participants are welcome to choose to participate in both programs in whatever order that feels appropriate.
STAY CONNECTED
My practice is slow, intentional and intimate. I’m not only social media so much; I do occasionally share things through my instagram, @hawthornandyew. However, the best way to stay in touch and hear whats new is to sign up for my newsletter HOME/BODY.
You’ll hear from me on a weekly-ish basis, and these notes will contain info on upcoming workshops and programs, new zines, things my friends are working on, and more alongside long form writing about things i’m learning about, feeling about, questioning and embodying. tune in for musings on herbs, relationship with the world, embodying our values, dreaming and moving towards a more just world, and the practices that will can help get us there.
