As the days grow shorter and the world begins to s As the days grow shorter and the world begins to slow down, it's the perfect time to turn inward and focus on self-care. My Autumn Herb Course offers you the opportunity to connect with the natural world and unlock the healing potential of plants with self-care as our underlying theme. This is an opportunity to not only explore your own healing, but also to acquire valuable skills in crafting your own medicines that you can share with others. Throughout the course, you will: Learn the Basics: An introduction to herbalism and to the medicinal plants that grow abundantly around you. Hands-On Medicine Making: You will gain practical, hands-on experience in creating your own medicine. We'll meet new plants each class and focus deeply on their medicine. You will be given medicine to take home with you and drink for 5 days ahead of sessions, so that you can experience the medicine in your body before we learn the medicinal and scientific information about the herb, along with a recipe. Connection and community: Take time for yourself to connect with like-minded earth-lovers and deepen your connection to the incredible support available to us from Mother Earth. Our small group setting ensures personalised attention and a deep connection with the herbs we are studying. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from me, your seasoned herbalist with 9 years of experience. The Dates: 📆 Wednesday Nights 7pm – 9pm on Sept 11, Oct 16 and Nov 13th. 📍At Ponsanooth Village Hall. ❤️ Investment: £120. Includes course handouts with recipes and rituals to try at home and we make a remedy each session for you to take home. Ahead of each session, you’ll get a herb to drink at home so you can build your own deep relationship with the herbs we’re studying. Limited spaces available.
