Wild Kin Ceremonies
Renée believes ceremony is an act of love for the natural world, it gives us an opportunity to gather knowledge and remembering through the sacred experience and take it back into our regular life.
Renée believes ceremony is an earth honouring tradition, and is a way to deeply connect with the moment of seasons and cycles and see this reflection in our own lived experiences.
These Botanical Consciousness Ceremonies, she calls Wild Kin Ceremonies, are a unique custom created offering of specific plant spirits in their season, honoured in an intimate group ceremonial setting around the wheel of the years sabbats.
A time of transition and change, a seasonal passage, as our body and experience reflects itself in relation to the natural world and our green ancestors.
Renée weaves in shamanic tools and her personal medicine offerings of the sacred pipe with her own ritual smoking blend, chanting, incantations, ancient earth language, singing and drumming.
She will guide you into trance with the elements and plant spirits via a guided drum journey, and from that space move you into flight with specifically blended music tracks to navigate you on your experience into the container of the overall theme of that specific ceremony, depending on which plants and which season or cycles are current at the time.
These are seasonal ceremonial offerings, working within the movement of the cycles, the wheel of the year, and with bioregional seasonal plant kin and their otherworldly botanical consciousness aligned to the old ways, in deep reverence and totality.
The plants stepping forth to work in the seasonal ceremonial space, will be layered in their many forms. Fresh as limpia for sweeping the body, and also on-body healing, as infused oils, flower essence acupuncture, vibrational mists, elixirs, tinctures and warm herbal infusions.
Renée works with plant divination, phytognomy, botanomancy, alchemy practices and also pre ceremonial work with the plants in the forest where she lives to gather wisdoms and insights for the group container, so in-fact the reconnection begins a few days prior to the ceremonal date.
Renée has a long history as a ceremonial space holder with sacred cacao, over the years working as a trainer, mentor and teacher with many cacao facilitators and ceremonialists. Recently retired from serving cacao as a medicine, she feels these Wild Kin Ceremonies focusing on seasonal and bioregional plants, cultivates a deeper alignment to her practice, in being of service in a space of boundless integrity and authenticity.

"The Wild Kin Lughnasdh ceremony, was an incredible experience that I'm still integrating in my daily life. I've been inspired now to go foraging and seek connection with the plant world.
I wanted to simply express my immense gratitude for the powerful space holding. Gentle, loving, deep and joyful - I felt really safe in the beautiful space and in the group.
The days of preparation this must have taken. I loved your humour that cracked me up too.
Renée you are such a knowledgeable and connected healer. I didn't say on the night but every time you sang my body tingled.
The value of what you create is so important and so needed in the world.
This last ceremony remains in my body as a sacred, magical experience.
Thank you so much!".

"No-one else I know is doing this work in this way.
What an extraordinary experience to meet the abundant bio regional plants in ceremonial space held by Renée leading and Taz supporting.
It's tricky to put into words (pin it down) - but I came away feeling full with care.
The care shown to the local plants, people gathering to sit with these beings,
the deep listening, tending and weaving by Renée sang my soul to remember it's rich place in the world of InterBeing
This work inspires and enlivens".

"I attended the seasonal ceremonial offering of the sabbath of Bealtaine, and from the
moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed before being fully immersed in the
ceremonial experience.
One needs to truly take part in these offerings to understand
the beauty and reverence, as well as the potency that seem to weave their magic,
through the grace of Renee.
I cannot deny the impact these offerings have on me.
Renee is a dedicated ceremonialist that works from the heart, so when I attend one
of her offerings, I am empowered, loved, held, and I always come
away feeling grounded and connected to the land, by feeling this, I am more
connected to my true nature and my true essence of who I am.
YES… ceremony is an act of love for the natural world, and Renee delivers it
perfectly".
~ Christine Pavlou
"Oh thank you! So grateful for this body of work.
This wild kin ceremony really highlighted the power and depth of slow medicine.
The abundance of our wild kin that willingly stepped through to meet with us in such a sacred way was undoubtedly humbling.
Words fall short to describe the breadth of the experience of being received/held, restored, returned, reunited (and so much more) to parts of ourselves that need to be illuminated without judgement and unconditional love.
Many thanks for respectfully holding space in a safe, playful and nurturing way".
~ Sharon Miller
"Being a part of Renée’s ceremony was a unique and beautiful experience.
She made me feel safe and I felt comfortable enough to relax and really immerse myself in the ceremony.
I learnt a lot about the plants Renée tuned into for this ceremony, and how some of them related to my personal health and life journey.
Renée’s warm energy and her expertise with plants makes me excited to keep working with her in the future".
~ Gary Miller
From the moment we walked in the door, it felt like the rest of the world stood still. The presence, the peace and the luxuriousness of time already began to meld together like your grandmothers' soup simmering on the stovetop for hours.
Renée builds an incredibly strong and safe container which allowed complete presence.
The story crafting, the passion and the wisdom set us off before we had even begun.
I loved the weaving of plant medicine throughout the ceremony, this took everything to another level.
Each ritual was like opening another door and discovering another layer of ourselves, each contribution was uniquely profound.
I cant wait to come back.
~ Nic Topp
Renée holds a deep and nourishing container for participants to delve into the wisdom of liminal space and time.
Her Samhain ceremonial offering, held in reverence and respect for the land, our ancestors and plant kin, provided a beautiful opportunity to connect and honour the seasons and cycles that we are all a part of.

“Calendula brings light into the energy field, a flower medicine and botanical relative that reminds us of community, a way to commune as individual expressions whilst holding a common purpose and desire”.
