Sacred Trees of the Celtic Wheel

A Year of Healing, Wisdom, and Renewal

The Wisdom of Trees

By learning from these ancient guardians of nature, you will deepen your understanding of yourself. The Druids believed that trees were living beings, filled with wisdom and insight, ready to guide us if we choose to listen. As you open your heart to their teachings, you will be taking a powerful step toward living in harmony with the earth and becoming a steward of nature’s sacred gifts.

Join us for a transformative, year-long journey that invites you to reconnect with the sacred trees of the Celtic Wheel—a path of deep healing, spiritual awakening, and renewal. This online course, designed for women, offers a space for you to explore the rich spiritual significance of trees throughout the seasons, honoring the timeless wisdom of Celtic traditions.

Each month, you will embark on a soulful exploration of one of the twelve sacred trees that mark the turning of the Wheel of the Year. We will deepen our connection with the natural world through sacred rituals, guided meditations, tree wisdom teachings, journaling practices, and seasonal ceremonies, together, nurture your inner growth, and awaken to the healing energies of the trees. This course is ideal for beginners, offering an immersive experience in the ancient teachings of the Druids and guiding you to reconnect with the natural rhythms of life.

As you journey through each sacred tree, you’ll discover its unique gifts and how it aligns with different aspects of your own life. You’ll learn how to harness the energy of each tree to support your spiritual growth, enhance your connection to Mother Earth, and bring more balance, peace, and harmony into your everyday world.

A Personal Invitation to Join the Year-Long Journey Through the Sacred Trees of the Celtic Wheel

I’m so excited to personally invite you to join me on this transformative, year-long journey through the sacred trees of the Celtic Wheel. Over the next 12 months, we’ll gather together as women, reconnecting with nature, aligning with the cycles of the Earth, and deepening our spiritual practices in a way that nourishes both our souls and our communities.

Each month, we’ll explore the unique wisdom of one sacred tree, learning about its spiritual significance and how it can support our personal growth, healing, and empowerment. Through rituals, guided meditations, journaling practices, and sacred sharing circles, you’ll have the opportunity to not only connect with the energy of these ancient guardians of the Earth but also share your experiences and insights in a supportive, like-minded sisterhood of women.

This journey is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply to the rhythms of the seasons, and allow the wisdom of the trees to guide you. It’s a chance to reconnect with the earth beneath your feet, find healing in nature’s embrace, and let the sacred teachings of the trees empower you as you walk your path of growth and transformation.

Each lesson will be a moment of peace, renewal, and grounding—a sacred space where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper layers of yourself. The trees will be your teachers, showing you how to align with the cycles of life, embody strength, nurture your creativity, and live with intention.

I can’t wait to embark on this journey with you. May the sacred wisdom of the trees be a beacon of light and guidance, supporting you in every step you take.

With love and wild blessings,

Live Monthly Classes: Each month, for twelve months, you'll join a live, interactive Zoom class where we’ll explore the spiritual significance of one sacred tree from the Celtic Tree Calendar. These classes will include teachings on the mythology, symbolism, and healing properties of the tree, along with practical rituals and meditations that you can incorporate into your daily life. Each session will be an opportunity for learning, growth, and connection. All sessions will be recorded and accessible at any time by members of the group.

This workbook is a valuable resource, containing rituals, journaling prompts, tree wisdom teachings, and seasonal reflections. By the end of the year, you’ll not only have a full binder of wisdom, rituals, and reflections but also a profound connection to the sacred trees and a deeper understanding of your spiritual journey. The trees will be your guides, and the community will be your support, helping you align with the rhythms of the Earth and tap into your inner strength and wisdom.

Private Facebook Group: You’ll also be invited to join our Private Facebook Group, where you can continue the conversation, share your experiences, and connect with your fellow participants throughout the month.
