Upcoming Workshops
Rising to the Health Challenges of Our Times With Herbal Medicine
Free Workshop (by donation)
Multiple Dates and Locations across the Maritimes (online and in-person) - See Registration Links Below
Our health cannot be separated from the earth that nourishes us. The growing epidemic of chronic illness is deeply entwined with a disconnected culture, degradation of the earth and societal inequalities.
Many are embracing herbal medicine as a path to empowered healthcare that connects us with our own bodies, each other, and the natural rhythms of the earth.
As an interested or aspiring herbalist, how do you really become competent and of service to yourself, family and community given the health challenges we face? Whether you are new to herbal medicine, or you are wondering what is the next step to improve your knowledge and skill, this workshop is for you.
In this workshop, we will cover:
Core philosophies and tools vital to a vibrant, ethical, and effective approach to herbal medicine
The potential of herbal medicine in empowering, accessible, integrative healthcare.
How to connect with teachers and resources that will improve your herbalism skills.
Plus:
How to apply the concepts of vitalism and energetics to support immune system resilience.
Hands-on learning (for in-person workshop only) – Through sampling herbs, we’ll use our senses and core philosophies to introduce the six foundational herbal actions (an intuitive shorthand for accelerating your herbal skills).
As part of this workshop, we will also share some details about our upcoming Intermediate Program starting in May 2024. The times we live in deeply need the skills, intention, and heart that herbalists can offer. Come join experienced clinical herbalists Ember Peters and Oren Hercz in a class to fuel your inspiration and help guide you on your herbal path!
