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

INDOOR MEDICINAL PLANT WALK!

SUNDAY, MARCH 8TH
           @ 2-4PM  
at the heARTbeat Collective
3rd Floor--the Blue Room
     $5-$8 sliding scale





The Herbal Healing Circle will be meeting in March to watch a DVD of a medicinal plant walk.  Most of the plants we'll be viewing are herbs that grow locally, so we'll get a preview of how to identify some of the wild, medicinal plants that grow in our area.  We'll also go over some harvesting tips, so if anyone wants to get a head start on gathering some of our green friends, (while I'm on maternity leave), you'll be prepared.  Of course tea will be served.  :-)  
Snacks are welcomed!

Please send me an email if you plan on coming.
Many blessings, Melanie Rose
