DESERT FLOWERS AS ORACLES: energetics & essences of mojave desert flora
May

DESERT FLOWERS AS ORACLES: energetics & essences of mojave desert flora

DESERT FLOWERS AS ORACLES: a 7 month ritual container and workspace series focused around ritual magic and self-inquiry with desert flower essences as allies and guides.

Beginning just after Beltane on May 2nd, and ending in early November after Samhain, this class has been many years in the making- students will meet ten times over the course of 7 months to learn about ritual magic and elemental herbalism/plant magic with a different mojave desert based flower essence each month.

Between classes, students will be assigned rituals and creative projects to complete on their own and share during the gatherings.

The goal of this container is for each participant to go more deeply into their own psychic abilities and relationship with the natural world with the support of a different ritual, magical topic, and flower essence each month.

Seven of the meet ups are listed below- we will also have three less formal meet ups to discuss and share, to be determined by the group once it has formed. Classes are as follows:

May - Saturday, May 2nd, 9am PST

Desert dandelion - Beltane - Opening the Cosmic Portal

June - Wednesday, June 10th, 9am PST

Purple Sand Verbena - Summer Rituals for Changing Times

July - Wednesday, July 1st, 9 am PST

Desert Five Spot - Lions Gate- Protection Spells & Psychic Boundaries

August - Saturday, August 8th 9 am PST

Lilac Sunbonnet - Fall transitions - Grief & Ancestral Healing

September - Saturday, September 19th 9am PST

Desert Indigo Bush - Time of the Thinning Veil

October - Wednesday, October 16th 9am PST

Ocotillo - Samhain - Closing our Journey, Resting for Winter

November (closing circle) Wednesday, November 4th 9am PST

Interested participants will be available to attend classes and complete the rituals between meet ups- this course is participatory research and self inquiry and all participants are vital parts of keeping the circle open. You will be encouraged to work on an art or writing project based on the themes of the class which we will share with one another as an alchemical offering to each other and the flowers.

Pricing - This class is sliding scale $250 - $750. The class includes six flower essences sent to you in the first month. Payment plans are available.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out this form! Applications close Wednesday, April 22nd at midnight.

Grief Ritual and Magic for Trying Times
Mar
8

Grief Ritual and Magic for Trying Times

For many centuries, our ancestors across many lineages have created rituals and practices for grief during times of loss, heartache, and collective struggle, and these practices help us to live more authentically and to appreciate thresholds and relationships with the beyond. In the times we live in now, full of strategic state violence and oppression, the ability to grieve helps us to better radically accept our circumstances, connect to others, and dream up visionary futures. 

In this class we will discuss traditional magical practices and rituals for being with our grief in all its forms. We will learn about plants, herbs, candle magic, archetypes and folklore for identifying and moving through grief how it shows up in our bodies and in our communities. Participants will leave with tools and practices for alchemizing their own grief into creativity, connection and transformation for the times ahead. 

When: Sunday, March 8

Time: 11-12:30pm 

lunch to follow

Cost: $45

Times of the Thinning Veil- Herbs and Rituals for Thresholds & Ancestor Work

Ever wondered about what plants can teach us about cycles of death and rebirth and connecting with unknown realms and ancestors? In this class, held during Samhain, one of the yearly times of the thinning veil, we will explore magical and energetic herbalism, astroherbology, folklore and ritual to build intuition and begin (or strengthen) a practice of ancestral and psychic connection. Plants can help us understand the present through connection with the past and all the cycles around us and within us- this workshop will change the way you see the natural world around you, and help you ground into your own spiritual voice and connection to earth.

witchCraft: doll making

Whether as devotional tools, protective spirits, or symbolic mirrors of the self, dolls have long served as powerful forms of expression and connection between the physical and unseen worlds.

In this workshop, we’ll be creating handmade dolls or figures as vessels for intention, protection, remembrance, or dreaming. Each participant will craft a soft-bodied doll and sew a heart to place inside—infused with energy, care, and meaning. We'll stuff our dolls with written messages to ourselves, secret wishes, or notes to the unseen. These figures can act as guardians, companions, or spell objects, holding space for whatever you choose to place within them.

Herbal Consults with Lia

Mini Consults (20 Minutes)

If you’ve been curious about working with a clinical herbalist or looking for a more personalized approach to wellness, this is a great opportunity to dip your toes in.


Mini consults allow us to explore an aspect of your current experience of health and wellness, and find a blend of herbs that are best suited to your needs and personal body constitution. 


During our 20 minutes together, we will share a cup of tea and sit in conversation over what you would like to work on. You will then receive one custom formulation, which may be in the form of tea, tincture, glycerite, or topical preparation depending on your preference/need. If there is an additional pre-formulated product that could be suitable, that may be recommended as well.

Mini consults are best for those moving through simple, acute expressions of imbalance or who are looking for general foundational or seasonal support. For example, this may look like those looking for support with: digestive discomfort, anxiety, sleep issues, dryness, mood boosting, or general guidance with traditional nutrition or navigating seasonal changes.

BOOK YOUR MINI SESSION HERE

Please note: These consults are not suited for long-standing, chronic imbalances, complex conditions (ex: autoimmune, hormone issues), or those who are on medication. This is not a substitute for a clinical session.

Initial Consultations (90 minutes)

Sessions are portals for unearthing what’s happening within the body. Through hearing your story, exploring current physical and emotional experiences, and tongue diagnostics, I discover patterns that lead us to root causation of imbalance. From there, I create intentional herbal formulas tailored to your constitution, accompanied by food and lifestyle supplementation to address both core and surface expression of imbalance. Each protocol is entirely individual.

Once your session is booked, you will receive an email from Lia with an intake form. If cost is at all prohibitive, please email Lia directly at wayouttherecoaching@gmail.com to discuss payment and sliding scale options. 

*Please note that the cost of herbs is not included with either consult, but sourcing is always provided and budget is discussed.

Specialites: 

  • Menstrual irregularities

  • Immune imbalance

  • Nervous system dysregulation + emotional health

  • Sexual wellness 

  • Pain management

  • Burnout, fatigue, and hypersensitivity

  • Skin issues
