Placenta Tree Planting
​
The ceremony of placenta burial has historically been a part of cultures across almost every continent, including Africa and Turtle Island. Tribes and peoples across these lands have buried placentas at the base of trees that grow up with these newborns. These trees carry diverse meanings for families, including a connection to the newborn’s land and home. This offering will provide personal help choosing and procuring tree and growing materials; planting the tree and placenta; and guidance through resources on aftercare for the newly planted tree.
​
Optionally, part of the placenta can be preserved for you as a tincture, made into capsules, or a keepsake.
