Join Missy online for a deep dive into the world of self-care through medicinal plants. Herbalism is rich in tools to support the nervous system, the emotions, and the heart, and these tools can be used by all of us with some basic and empowering education. We'll cover how to use plants found in our bioregion to increase resilience and emotional buoyancy, where to find them, and what contraindications exist for each herb.
Every week, we'll focus on a category of herbs -- adaptogen tonics, uplifting herbs, sleep support, and more -- and make a different kind of plant medicine online together. Hands-on, experiential learning will go hand-in-hand with cozy classroom-style interaction. Those new to herbalism are welcome, as are herbalists with some experience under their belt. This class is not anti-medication; we will cover herbs that can be used concurrently with prescriptions.
This class will utilize the Zoom platform. To prepare, you can download the free Zoom app. If you’re new to Zoom, you may want to check out their support and training resources beforehand in order to ensure a smooth experience.
Herbal ingredients for medicine-making will be available for students to pick up the day before class; students not in the Portland area are welcome to join the course and source their own herbs.
This course is offered on a sliding scale of $125-$200. Registration required by November 8.
