Rewatch the Summer Solstice Wildflower Gathering
Join The Wild Enchantment Club, my paid subscription on Substack, for £7.50/month and get access to the recording of the LIVE online Summer Solstice Wildflower Gathering where we’ll be exploring the joy, wonder and enchantment of wildflowers as an act of resistance.
The gathering, which was held on 20 June, 1-2pm BST, is a moment of creative, devotional wild enchantment for fellow tender-hearted wonder-seekers. During the gathering you will:
Get to know a local wildflower through wild journalling techniques (think painting with the flowers themselves!)
Learn enchanting science and folklore stories about Britain's wildflowers
Consider the imperfect beauty of wildflowers and our own imperfect beauty
Create a wildflower crown for the Summer Solstice.
