at 42 Acres, Frome, Somerset

Next Gathering:

Thursday, March 19th, 2026 (Spring Equinox)

7pm to 9:30pm GMT

Plant Pilgrim Server is a series of men’s circles grounded in Insight Herbalism, offering space to slow down, listen, and come into deeper relationship with the living world.

Each gathering is shaped by the plants themselves , approached not just as remedies, but as living presences we can learn to listen to and perceive.

Together, we explore subtle ways of sensing plant intelligence, presence, and teaching.

Insight Herbalism is a relational, embodied, and experiential approach to plant connection. These circles offer a simple ritual container for meeting plants directly through a range of gentle practices, which may include tea tasting, quiet witnessing, shared reflection, movement, sound, and guided journeying.

Rather than seeking answers, we work with attention, curiosity, and presence. Through our questions and reflections, our lived experience with the plants can open new ways of perceiving ourselves and the more-than-human world we are part of.

The Wider Container

This circle is held within the rhythm of the Celtic Wheel of the Year, allowing the seasonal shift to quietly shape the work.

This gathering takes place at the day before the Spring Equinox (March 19th), the festival marking the mid point of spring, when light and darkness are in equal balance.
