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!

Herbs and Yoga for Digestion


Sat. January, 22
2-4:30
$15-20 sliding scale
West Roxbury, MA

In this class, we are exploring herbs that help to strengthen digestion. Great digestion means that we are assimilating/absorbing our nutrients, enhancing vitality, and digesting our life experiences. We will also explore yogic techniques to strengthen the 3rd chakra, which governs digestion. We'll have an open discussion to determine what might be the best herbs for you to work with, and might be the causes for digestive imbalances in our lives. Bring a journal, wear comfortable clothing, and come with an open mind and seeking spirit. Please RSVP and until we meet again, Green Blessings!
