Herbs,
trees, and plants have played a prominent role in
healing since the earliest times of humanity. There is a
great deal of power held by each plant in nature. In
this class series we will cover how to work with plants
for physical healing and in spiritual work. Each class
will cover a different shelf of herbs that we stock in
the shop and will also focus on a method of preparing
herbs. Each class is designed as a stand alone workshop
on a beginner to intermediate level. All of the classes
within this series can also be taken throughout the year
to offer a more full spectrum and advanced approach to
herbalism.
