The Herbal Healing Circle is a monthly meeting of souls who wish to learn and share about plant medicine in its myriad of forms. Each class will begin with a different topic and will end with questions and group discussion. There will be handouts, herbal sampling, and occasional homework. The class is located in West Roxbury, MA, unless a medicinal herb walk has been scheduled...then we'll venture out to nearby fields and hold the class outdoors. To get directions and a schedule of upcoming classes, please send me an email and I'll add you onto the mailing list. You can also check this webpage for regular updates and articles.


Please bring a journal, an open mind, and experiences to share. Classes are $15-$20 sliding scale. Topics of discussion include:


*The importance of plant medicine
*In-depth focus on individual herbs and ailments
*Body systems (nervous system, digestive system...)
*Herbal traditions around the world (Ayurveda, Chinese, Native American...)
*The doctrine of signatures
*SuperFoods!
*The politics of pharmaceuticals vs. natural medicine
*Support and guidance for those who wish to treat themselves or others naturally
*Face and tongue analysis
*Flower Essences
*The roots of illness
*Why we owe it to ourselves and the planet to heal with plant medicine
*Trouble shooting: how do I know which herbs are right for me?

If you plan on attending, please RSVP so that we may have enough seats and handouts ready. Green Blessings! ~Melanie Rose

HERBAL BAZAAR


SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH
2-4PM
HeARTbeat COLLECTIVE
JAMAICA PLAIN, MA
$8 DONATION




The HeARTbeat Collective invites you to attend our first Herbal Bazaar!  The idea is to have a fun and festive event to usher in the holiday season, while encouraging the growth of our herbal and natural healing community.  

We'll meet in our usual Herbal Healing Circle fashion, but this time we invite you to bring your own homemade herbal product.  It can be edible, medicinal, for bath or body, for smudging, for ceremonial purposes, or decoration.  Everyone will have an opportunity to present their creation to the group.  Of course, if you just want to attend, that's ok too.  This will be a learning experience for all of us.

At the end of class, we'll have time for an herbal product swap.  If you have extra containers for sharing products, please bring them.  Old glass jars are great.  Some people may actually choose to sell their items if it was costly to make.  But, the idea is that everyone will walk away with something new and useful.

Please RSVP since the success of this event depends on the number of contributors.  There is an $8 suggested donation for this event.  Friends and kids are welcome.
