Wreaths are known to most simply as festive holiday decorations, but they are an amazing technology in their own right. With clear intentions and an open heart, a wreath can become a potent portal of beauty and mystery, a strong point of connection with and appreciation of the natural world, and even a powerful gateway into harnessing and working with the cyclical nature of “time” itself.

In this class, participants will: learn the basics of safe and respectful harvesting; craft their own unique wreath out of wild-foraged materials; and learn how to begin and maintain their own “Wheel of the Year” wreath practice.

Bring a notebook and writing utensil for taking notes, and feel free to bring any natural
treasures or other items with magical or personal meaning that you might want to weave into your wreath.

Danielle Hurst Brown of Weaves Shoots and Leaves is an Earth-worker, Nature Alchemist, and a life-long Animist committed to living in greater communion and connection with her other-than-human kin and community. An avid co-creator with Mother Earth and her many facets, Dani draws inspiration for her art and weavings from the land and its carnival of inhabitants, as well as from life’s ever-spinning wheel of seasons and cycles. As a lover of wild spaces and a passionate grower, Dani has an ongoing relationship with our Green Ancestors and is well-versed in the task of tending, caring for, and harvesting them with respect and reverence.

PHOTO: “Odyssey of the Oracle” (pictured) is a unique wreathing collaboration between Dani and Oracle Natural Science that depicts the journey through the Wheel of the Year and its revolving dance of seasons. This installation is a living entity that functions in multiple ways: as a bio-regional calendar and cycle tracker that helps the mind and body attune to the current season of life; as an intimate visual diary documenting the voyage through the year; and as a heartfelt love letter and ongoing offering dedicated to Mother Earth.
