SUMMARY:{IN PERSON} Plants as Ancestors: 3 Part Class Series
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE READ: This class is IN PERSON. TICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. \nClass fees are non transferable\, we stick to the student agreements agreed upon during registration. Please ensure you are able to attend the scheduled class time. \n  \nThis class is a 3-part series taking place on April 18th\, 6-8pm\, May 27th\, 6:30-8:30pm\, and June 24\, 6-8pm. Please take note of these dates now! About this series: \nClass 1: Meeting the Plants as Ancestors \n“Plants are our ancestors that are still alive” – Lisa Fazio. \nPart 1 of “Plants as Ancestors” is in April\, having to do with how we can approach plants as teachers and as living spirits with respect. This will tie in conversations around being on stolen land\, land sovereignty\, and how we can see plants not just as tools to be used\, but living forces that have so much to teach us. \nWe will talk in this class about what ancestral allies can feel like and look like\, a no versus a yes\, and finding plants your ancestors may have had a connection with and learning more about plants as vessels to connect with our ancestors. Part one will focus on all the practical elements – identifying these plants and ethical sourcing\, working with flower essences and plant matter in different preparations\, and how we can invite these ancestral allies into our life to strengthen our connection with the ancestors. \nStudents will leave this class with an understanding of how to approach and work with plants as teachers\, and will be instructed to do so before part two of the meeting so we can share our experiences in identifying\, sourcing\, and connecting with plant teachers. \nClass 2: Plants as Ancestors: Plant Share Circle \nPart 2 of “Plants as Ancestors” is in May\, as we move into spring time. This class will follow up on the first class and hold space for students to share their experiences with a plant teacher. This can be a space to share frustrations\, difficulties\, or exciting experiences and confirmations that we may have had in working with this teacher. \nPlant Ancestor Share is geared towards holding space for the nuances in working with plants and building community – it will allow us to not only share our experiences\, but lean into a guided meditation to meet plant ancestors\, continuing to build relationships with plants we met\, and ensuring that all students feel heard in their concerns\, frustrations\, and confirmations. \nClass 3: Plants as Ancestors: Moving Through the World \nPart 3 of “Plants as Ancestors” will look into how to apply what we learned not only from the plants\, but as animistic practitioners who can continue to form relationships with all living things moving forward. This section of the class focuses on moving through the world not just recognizing plants as tools\, but plants as allies and how to continue to foster relationships with not just plants\, but all living spirits and ancestral allies. \nThis class will discuss animistic pathways in folk magic\, rituals and ways of being to honor our ancestors\, intentionality in our day-to-day\, and discussions around working ritual and ceremony into daily life. We will talk about how the mundane is magical\, folk magic and animism\, and each student will leave the class knowing more about how to implement teachings from plants and magic into their day to day. \n  \nYOUR INSTRUCTOR: \nFrankie Castanea\, also known as Chaotic Witch Aunt\, is a practicing folk witch\, animist\, Italian American folk practitioner\, and spirit worker.  They have been on a journey of reconnection to culture and ancestral practices for almost five years now\, a practicing witch and diviner for almost a decade. Within this\, they have found a passion for learning and teaching Italian-American ways of being\, animism\, ancestors\, and spirit relationships. They have and continue to be a student of Lisa Fazio and Mary Beth Bonfiglio\, and have\, in the past\, learned from Austin Toney of Cat and Cauldron. They learn from being in community with other Italian-Americans and folk practitioners\, their own spirits\, and are driven by their ancestors in almost all things they do\, sharing their ways of reconnection and reconstruction via Instagram\, Youtube\, Patreon and their blog\, Chaotic Folk Magic\, through their website (chaoticwitchaunt.com). They run a small online shop of ancestral and folk magic guided wares\, believes in the power of the color red\, and reads tarot\, Italian playing cards\, and offers professional spell consultations at Ritualcravt in Wheat Ridge\, Colorado. They are the author of two books\, “Spells for Change” (2021)\, and their upcoming book “Ancestral Magic” (2025).
