Blue Lotus
An invitation to meet the flower differently.
Not another list of benefits. Not a promise of what Blue Lotus will make you feel. A guide to the history, symbolism and ceremony surrounding one of the most fascinating flowers I work with, and an invitation to begin your own relationship with her.
Get Your Free CopyBlue Lotus has become increasingly popular in the world of ceremony and plant medicine, but there is a difference between drinking a cup of Blue Lotus tea and consciously sitting down to meet the plant.
This issue is about that difference.
About moving from consumption into relationship, creating space for ritual, working with intention, and discovering what happens when we stop asking a plant what she can give us and start paying attention to what unfolds when we actually take the time to listen.
A guide to read slowly, preferably with a cup of Blue Lotus beside you.

Perhaps This Is Where Your Journey Begins
Maybe you came here because you're curious about Blue Lotus.
Maybe you've already worked with her and want to deepen that relationship.
Or perhaps, while reading this guide, you'll notice that your curiosity goes somewhere else entirely.
Because there can be a moment when you no longer only want to experience ceremony.
You start wondering what it would be like to create one.
To prepare the space, choose the music, welcome people in, serve the medicine and guide others through an experience you know how to hold from beginning to end.
And when that happens, the relationship with Blue Lotus becomes part of something bigger.
It becomes part of your journey as a Ceremonialist.
