This larp invites us to learn the ancient art of communicating with plants. It is about learning to see the non-human world as being vibrant, alive and having agency. There is so much to learn if we only take the time to listen. All we need to do is ask for guidance.

In this larp, players will encounter four remarkable plants: Nettle, Oak, Yarrow, and Mugwort. These plants were chosen by the authors, not only for their abundance in Northern Europe, but also for their long history of use in healing and wisdom, embraced by witches, shamans, and everyday people for thousands of years.

The larp offers a gateway into the magical world of these powerful plants, a realm of healing and transformation.

This game builds on shamanic knowledge and it offers a gateway into the magical world of four powerful plants, a realm of deep healing and transformation. The plants were chosen, both for their abundance in northern Europe where the game was created, and for their long history of use as medicinal plants.

In the game, players will alternate between embodying a human or a plant. In each encounter, the humans will be guided to engage with the plants on specific topics. The plants, in turn, will respond in their own unique way, represented in the game by active presence and expressive breathing.

At the end of each encounter, the humans will be invited to make physical contact with the plant by touching its leaves or branches. The player embodying the plant will extend their hands and arms, allowing the human to gently connect. Touch will only occur on hands and arms, with the option to withdraw at any point to end the interaction.

After the final plant-human encounter, all players will gather in a plant sharing circle. At this moment, each person will be invited to sense which plant they feel called to embody once more.)
