Join Gradey & Missy as we explore the connections of spring, emergence, and flow through April. During peak vernal bloom, our in-person field trips will dive deeply into the flower, learning tools and language to accurately identify each new plant friend. We’ll see a diversity of floral form on our adventures to two vastly different ecosystems as we solidify our new botanical skills and demystify field guide lingo.
This emergence of the green signals a perfect time to focus on flow in our bodies. On our classroom days, held via Zoom, we’ll explore: How do we optimize digestion, assist the liver, and support our bodies through the transition into longer, warmer days? How do we nurture ourselves using what’s abundant and nourishing? We’ll focus on using weeds as medicine, considering the implications of working with introduced plants and discussing what sustainability means in the context of herbalism. The medicines we make during these hands-on classes together will focus on minerals and magic.
The class is part of the Saturday Herbalism Mini-Series. For more information, click here!
