This multi-sensory course with herbalist Vanessa Chakour, will introduce the empowering practice of Holistic Herbalism; treating the whole self—mind, body and spirit—in collaboration with medicinal plants.
We’ll share herbal infusions (medicinal teas) and tinctures made from plants found in the wilds of New York and discuss how they help us heal. You’ll learn to tap into the language of these wild healers, engage meditative and creative practices to explore the root cause of health challenges and learn to make your own medicine.
Come away with a deepened connection to yourself, to nature and an initiation into the vast world of local plant medicine.
Course includes dried herbs for take home practice Saturday evening & Sunday morning.
