2027 Women’s Nature Circle
Seattle Spiritual Herbalism Program
Four Seasons of PNW Plant Spirit Medicine, Foraging, Wildcrafting and Tarot
In this seasonal, 8-week-long, nature-based, witchy women’s group, connect with other magical women and learn about PNW plant and tree allies for your spiritual and herbal journey. Welcome to green witch school! What is a green witch? One who is deeply connected to nature and works with plants for spiritual purposes.
In this spiritual herbalism program, through indoor classes and outdoor field trips, you will learn about one PNW edible, medicinal plant or tree per week, their physical, emotional and spiritual healing properties and plant identification, foraging and wildcrafting skills.
Cultivate a greater sense of home in our Cascadia bioregion. Develop your ability to hear the voice of nature with your heart. Learn about tarot and strengthen your intuition and your personal magic. Create community with like-minded women in a nourishing place of respite from the world.
This program blends herbalism, nature therapy, earth-based spirituality, ecopsychology (as above, so below) and tarot to connect with nature, yourself and others for healing and growth. Topics include ecospirituality (sacred connection to the earth), how to cultivate a reciprocal relationship with nature, how to decolonize self and land to heal self and land, divine feminine, dark feminine and witchy tips for spiritual practice.
Classes include weekly tarot teaching and practice, tea ceremony, poetry, journaling, song, meditation, storytelling, dreamwork, drum journeys, gentle movement, chakras, mysticism, goddesses, astrology, the elements, holding space for each other, and indigenous wisdom of the Salish people, Celtic tradition and Greek mythology.
In addition to indoor classes, we will have field trips to commune with the plants, forage and wildcraft. We will have community foraging when appropriate, ethical, sustainable and respectful to the land to do so, with permission from the plants. You will learn all the basics for foraging and making your own plant medicine. You will make tinctures, oils, salves, teas and burn bundles, all materials provided, and build your own apothecary of local plants with whom you have cultivated a personal relationship.

Your Teacher: Kaela Koepke of PNW Ecotherapy
I am a green witch, which to me means that I work with plants for spiritual purposes. I am a Nature Guide, which means my goal is to help you connect with nature for healing and growth. I am a PNW bioregional spiritual herbalist, which means I am only interested in the plants and trees of Cascadia and I am primarily interested in their emotional and spiritual healing properties. I do not have a formal herbalist certification or training. I learn from direct relationship with the plants, knowledge from other herbalists and the Salish people through books and classes.
My primary work is as a licensed Mental Health Therapist, Nature Therapist and Somatic Therapist in private practice. This program is a class, not therapy, although it is therapeutic. Nature is therapist and I am introducing you to my beloved plant friends. I am your herbal guide and teacher.
My plant work combines my two passions, psychology and nature, and stems from my own personal relationship and healing with the plants over the years. I have been getting to know the plants of Cascadia for 15 years independently and I’ve been teaching about plants for four years.
My life path number and corresponding tarot archetype is the Hierophant, one who teaches about the ancient spiritual traditions of the earth and one who is a bridge between the sacred and the seeker. It is my joy to share what I’ve learned with others. My goal as a Nature Guide is to help you connect with nature for healing and growth.
I am a 44-year-old neurodivergent, white passing, Persian and Irish queer cis woman (she/her pronouns), witchy, hippy, mountain mama, raised in the PNW. My biggest passion in life is being in nature – hiking and backpacking; communing with plants and trees; foraging, wildcrafting and growing my small-batch apothecary; making nature art; and connecting with people, because humans are nature, too.
