Learn how to enhance and maintain your health with nature’s help.
Herbalism is an established tradition of making and using herbal medicine. Not only is it extremely effective, it is also gentle to both people and the environment, non-addictive, natural, and sustainable. It is virtually cost-free as your medicine cabinet can be sourced from your garden.
Understanding the medicinal value of plants and the best ways to use them can keep your family, community, and the environment healthy.
Join us for an intensive herbalism hands-on workshop to gain accessible and practical knowledge on alternative ways to treat simple and complex health conditions.
In this workshop we will:
- Explore our garden to discover medicinal herbs and their uses
- Discuss culinary plants that work in your medicine cabinet including sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and hyssop
- Make basic teas, infusions and tinctures from start to finish
Each participant will make and take home an herbal medicine that fits their lifestyle to start their own natural medicine chest.
This popular workshop occurs just once a year and fills up quickly. Register now for the opportunity to learn at home remedies from a highly qualified expert in the field of natural healing.
Instructor: Rebecca Altman
Instructor Bio: Rebecca Altman is a herbalist and writer who has been practicing herbalism for 10 years, and studying for even longer. She’s had the great fortune to learn from some of the most brilliant people in modern herbalism— Kiva Rose, Jim McDonald, Matthew Wood— and the even greater fortune to have spent a lot of time working with the plants she regularly gathers from the wild, learning their secrets from observing their patterns. Her approach to herbalism is in looking at the connections between things— between humans and the planet, between humans and each other, and between abstract concepts and grounded practices, to make them accessible to all of us. She writes about herbalism and the human condition at www.cauldronsandcrockpots.com and she sells her herbal creations here.
