The Grove
There is a house that keeps the old plant knowledge, returned to you slowly, with its names intact. The Grove is the room where it is tended: what to steep, what to lay down, what to let grow quiet.
Two doors, one house. You may enter as Grove, or as Sacred Circle.
See the two doorsInside the practice
At the centre of the Grove is the keeper, an attentive guide that knows each plant by its names and its traditions, and answers by symptom or by season. It describes what the tradition holds, and points you gently toward it.
460 plants: the Haitian lineage held with its Kreyòl names, and the Adriatic shore growing beside it. Each with its preparation, its tradition, and its cautions kept plain.
Temperatures, durations, preparation: the how, set down in full.
Four times a year, a letter from the house: the plants keeping the season, their cautions, and one small practice to begin with. Each letter comes with an edition to print and keep.
Waters and simples for the household. A bath, a steep, a preparation, written with measures and how it is used.
Nothing here hurries. The knowledge arrives the way it was meant to: in season, by hand, and returned to you as though it had always been yours.
