.This bhakti is a celebration of the botanical world, and a collaborative exploration of Guatemala’s wild edibles and medicinals, plant dyes and plant folklore. We will be drawing upon the knowledge of local people and experimenting with plant uses and cultivation. We will be studying the landscape, going on adventurous botanical forays into the mountains and forests and tuning into nature with all our senses and deepening our awareness and connection through the practice of yoga and meditation.
