Belle Benfield

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. Our 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. We’ll be studying herbs to help support our nervous systems, so you can be more resilient to stress. You’ll learn all about herbs that can help you get an excellent nights sleep. And we’ll be studying the root causes of urinary tract infections and bladder issues.

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 can expect to:

Learn the Basics: An introduction to herbalism and to the medicinal plants that grow abundantly in spring.  You will have the opportunity to lay out your intention for the spring months ahead.  

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 woth 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.

Herbs and the Body: We'll be looking at how herbs can help you take care of yourself as the stresses of modern life take their toll. Understand how herbs can help your body to stay healthy and resilient.

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.
