What a gift to open up to and connect with the world of Plant Spirit. I feel that the plants are now my family, and I am so grateful to have them as allies in our collective journey toward awakening to the reality of our united Humanity.  Thomas Malone

This is my third time taking a Plant Spirit Medicine class, and my second with Suzanne and Charles. They are wonderful teachers, and have a great reverence for life, nature, and doing their part to effect positive change in the world. This class changed me. I am imbued with a deeper sense of the interconnectedness of all things, the service that all plants offer to humanity, and that greater sense of the balance that this tradition can foster, uniting the left brain and analytical part of our being with the right brain intuitive aspects of our natures, uniting us in whole brain, whole being balance. I also grasp how readily our connection to plants can be developed through the practices taught in this class. I love it! I’m so glad I took the class again. Thank you Charles, thank you Suzanne!  Anonymous

There was such a wealth of material here and a solid foundation for beginning one’s practice of Plant Spirit Medicine. Charles and Suzanne seem to have a particular passion for presenting this material within the context of Worsley Five-Element Acupuncture but also make it very clear that PSM can be utilized whatever one’s healing background is and that it doesn’t have to fit within a preconceived treatment style or tradition. It’s about openness, trust and love of our fundamental nature within this universe.  Neil Pregozen

This course was enriching on many levels. I feel more connected to reality and to myself. Suzanne and Charles are excellent teachers and draw upon a deep history of experience to help explore and reveal these topics. They are great guides in this subtle field of knowledge and experience. Thank you, Suzanne and Charles! May this class and the knowledge I have gained serve the benefit of all and the realize of Humanity-One.  Anonymous

This course changed the way I see the world. Now I not only know – but feel in my bones – that all humanity shares the same heart, the same blood. This medicine has the power to heal all of us just by healing one of us.  Jane Klein

Suzanne and Charles, I just absolutely love you both and receive so much joy witnessing you two working together and the funny comments that you make! I feel so honored to be taught by you both and to be a recipient of your wisdom.  This class feels like it pulled together the strings of my being and connectedness to all things. Having another opportunity to journey to my Power animal and a Spirit guide again was potent and powerful and if that were the only thing that I got out of this class that would have been enough! …deepening my relationship with the plants was incredible and learning how to use them within the framework of the Five Elements is invaluable. The gift of stepping into the trust and confidence of treating patients remotely with the Plants and the Five Element tools was an incredible bonus! You  helped me gain layers of confidence to work within  ‘other realms’ and deepening my relationship with them. Thank you, Suzanne and Charles, from the bottom of my heart.  Erin Hesby

This has been an awesome journey and a healing experience for me. I am deeply touched. My gratitude to Suzanne and Charles for sharing this amazing medicine with us.  Erica Montheard

I loved this seminar! It opened my eyes to a whole new world! I can use the plants instead of needles! This is especially important  when it comes to people who are afraid of needles.  Anna Tsang

A wonderful and inspiring course that speaks to the importance of our connection to the plant world and the love they have for us and the great healing power they have to offer besides the physical level. Suzanne and Charles create a warm and gentle teaching environment, making it easy to take in all the vast wisdom they have to offer us. It was wonderful to learn herbalism from a Worsley Five-Element acupuncture lens. Daniel Schrier

Given the reality of our current situation with COVID, this is a beautiful opening for us to continue to be helpful to our patients, especially those who cannot risk coming in person or who cannot come because of distance.

It is a way to extend our awareness of and ability to access the universal consciousness that connects and sustains us all, which we humans desperately need to pierce the illusion of our separateness so that we can work together to survive climate change and the political upheaval that is already well underway.  This was well organized beautifully taught, and filled with personal stories and encouraging examples.   Anonymous

I initially had doubts about taking an online class for seven days. They vanished quickly and I immersed myself with delight.  It has been uplifting and touching. Charles and Suzanne taught us in an amazing supportive environment, with kindness and gentleness.  I feel transformed and I am very grateful to Charles and Suzanne and all the participants in this wonderful journey.  I feel that I can use all of me at last and this is precious.   Erica Montheard

This course nourished my spirit! To be reminded of the invisible web of love woven by the spirit level of the plant world gives me confidence to show up and be a humble vessel for their medicine. Thank you!  Laurel Mackey Miller

Honestly, I was drawn to this class for several years.  Now that I’ve finally taken it, I have to laugh because it was  not what I expected.  It was wonderful!  I will take home the beauty and elegance of the plants and the ability to offer a treatment remotely.  Brilliant!  Cathy Hoffman

This course introduced me to a way of ‘researching’ or looking into my own way of understanding and relating to spirit, as we understand it in Classical Acupuncture as taught by Dr. Worsley.  I would recommend this course to anyone who is eager to learn to help others benefit from their own natural capacity to heal though a relationship with plants.   Robert Weisbord

What will I take home? The magic of it! ~ Jan Ruscio

This course was life changing for me. I heretofore have had little direct knowledge or experience with plants. Now I feel an amazingly powerful connection with plants, and how much they are able to help us humans heal whatever is ailing us on the levels of mind, body and Spirit. ~ Jim Brooks

Suzanne and Charles are wonderfully reverent in their presentation of Plant Spirit Medicine. The levels of understanding and experience I attained were extraordinary. The pace of the course was easy going and yet covered a great deal of material. I will most definitely take another course with them so that I may continue to further my understanding of the Five Elements and Plant Spirit Medicine. ~ Emily Calvert

What a lovely opportunity! My experience went much deeper than I could have imagined. I feel blessed and honored to have had the opportunity to learn a sacred healing practice and share space with wonderfully amazing human beings. The work will be life-long. I feel the foundation has been laid and it is supportive as well as strong.  I would take this class again tomorrow and wish we could stay in this nature centered healing space forever! ~ Brittney Chowning

This class will deepen your connection with LIFE itself!  As you learn it, you get to experience the vibrancy of nature, which is your own nature, manifesting and growing within.  I’m perceiving the natural world in a whole new way…and feel a kinship with plants which is beyond words.  A very rich experience.  Thank you! ~ Tom Kirby

Suzanne & Charles’ plant spirit medicine course is thoughtful & provocative. They are both caring & informed practitioners of this very precious form of medicine, and I would recommend their course to anyone interested in developing a deeper relationship with the spirit dimension of working with the plants & the elements. ~ Dara Lehrer

Suzanne and Charles were absolutely wonderful to work with. The curriculum is magical and easy to incorporate.  ~ Frank Leonardi

The entire program was one enormous journey of discovery, learning and healing, filled with the beauty of nature and its power and wisdom. I was blown away by the caliber of my classmates to be loving instruments of the wisdom of nature. They were an essential component of the rich learning and healing that took place. I am so grateful to have been initiated into this medicine. Thank you, Suzanne and Charles, from the depths of my soul. ~ Thomas Malone

It is obvious that Charles and Suzanne care immensely about their work.   They have a passion for this medicine and a boatload of experience.  They are very encouraging and supportive in the learning process.  ~ Piper Mullins

Suzanne and Charles make what is somewhat foreign material to me very accessible. ~ Jeanette Rockers

The Plant Spirit Medicine programs, in the summers of 2017 and 2018, brought 25 people together in the resplendent Colorado Rocky Mountain foothills. We immersed ourselves in the generous realm of the natural world. Thank you all!

I am the queen of continuing education. Plant Spirit Medicine with Suzanne and Charles is hands down the best class that I have ever taken. Their wisdom, generosity, heartfelt presence and level of integrity will remain with me always. What I will take back to my practice? The love, patience, fierceness, generosity, kindness, thoroughness and wisdom that the plants willingly offer. ~ Pam Devore

From the first moment, I was in the presence of much wisdom and devotion to a knowledge as old as time. I am sincerely grateful and honored to be among this circle! ~ Greta McVey

What a mind blowing and heart opening medicine this is: gentle, accessible, swift and powerful. I have never enjoyed being taught as by these two magnificent and wise souls. These seven days have been a gift and I feel honored and blessed to have been part of this journey!!!  The beautiful and powerful world of plant spirits – how much greater potential exists for me to connect with the natural world and be a conduit for its healing energies! ~ Judy Terry

As a Five-Element Acupuncturist I found that this course offers a way to deepen my practice with another level of understanding and potential for helping my clients. The atmosphere was open and welcoming, and the way of understanding was made easy for a process that might seem challenging!  ~ Jeannette Rockers

When I heard about Plant Spirit Medicine, I just couldn’t get how it could be as potent as a physical needle moving energy. When my children continued to ask for plant spirit medicine treatment, I thought it was the touch of the practitioner. Now that I’ve spent time with the plants and fostered a relationship with my guides, I too understand. ~ Jessie Kirkland

Suzanne and Charles created a safe, beautiful environment in which to learn. I felt as though each participant was touched in a very special way. What I have learned in this class has broadened and deepened my capacity to practice this medicine and to use it to help others heal. ~ Jill Williams

This class was taught with devotion, grace and sensitivity. We were brought into their loving generous hearts. They can transmit/share because of their deep, authentic knowledge of plant spirit medicine. Though grounded in Five-Element Acupuncture there was awareness and openness to many ways to reach the One energy to help others. ~ Jesse Leinfelder.

There are no words to describe the beauty of this medicine. Suzanne and Charles loved, nurtured, respected and guided us protectively in our learning of this ancient healing art. It was incredibly reassuring to my spirit to participate and learn so deeply. ~ Diana West

This class gently moved me into the experience of Plant Medicine. I look forward to offering this powerful work to my clients. ~ Rebecca Stevens

This medicinal healing method addresses the energy level of a person’s being and nourishes, strengthens and enhances their vital force energy. ~ Rose Sposito

Suzanne and Charles’ delivery of Plant Spirit Medicine models the humility, generosity and power of the plants. Slow, deliberate, knowledgeable. I will take home the utter confidence to use PSM in my practice. ~ Sorcha Rae NiCarthaigh

Though I am not a Five-Element practitioner, Charles and Suzanne made the Plant Spirit Medicine teachings very accessible and they welcomed my background and experience. This is probably the best workshop I have ever attended. ~ Maria Minnow

Learning PSM with Charles and Suzanne has touched an essence so deep inside of myself, connecting me in a larger way to all existence. The way that I look at life, move in space, relate to my surroundings and connect with spirit is forever changed. This course deeply and beautifully impacted my life. ~ Julia Bond

This is my second PSM class with Suzanne and Charles and it was a perfect way to deepen in this knowledge and really helped to engender trust in my ability to work with the plants. These two beautiful souls are the most generous, gentle and loving teachers I’ve ever had and I ‘d return again and again to deepen my knowledge and be with them!!! ~ Judy Terry

Charles & Suzanne love this medicine and share it articulately and generously. They come to this teaching honestly. ~ Mary Wright

I spent four years learning Worsley Acupuncture. While every ounce of information of my formal education at ITEA is absolutely essential to my practice I’ve never felt more prepared to meet with and treat a client than after the brilliant, beautiful, and enriching seven days I spent learning PSM with Suzanne and Charles. Thank you! ~ Wendy Dutton

Being in Suzanne and Charles’ presence for the week was a gift. This class provided a deep reconnection to 5Element practice. And as promised, by the end of the week, I feel I can practice 5E without needles. Thank you! ~ Star Wuerdemunn
