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

Medicinal Plant Walk- Sunday, May 22nd


It's time for our first medicinal plant walk of the year. We're getting a late start, but now we'll see many wild medicinals and edibles in their glory. We'll discuss history, botany, fun facts, when to harvest.....etc.
The South Street entrance is where we meet, but we'll be hiking thru the Bussey Creek Meadow, which is right across the street.
Bring a friend, bring children, pass it on!
This is a great way to learn about our local environment and to realize all the treasures we have growing right around us.

Sunday, May 22nd
10:30-11:30am
The cost is $10-$15 sliding scale.
Children under 5 are free.
Dogs are welcome.

ps. The end time listed is 11:30, but I've been known to go over. :-)

A rain date will be posted if need be. Aho!
