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

HEART HEALTH


SUNDAY, DEC. 14TH
$12-$20......2-4PM   
HeARTbeat Collective
35 Wyman St., JP
RSVP Required

For many people, December can be a time of great joy with anticipation for the holiday season, or it can be a time of intense grieving for those remembering the loss of a loved one.  It's also that time of year we tend to overindulge in rich foods while perhaps not getting as much exercise.  With that said, it's the perfect time to focus on the health of our hearts.  We'll discuss conditions like high blood pressure, arterioscleros, heart palpitations, and of course heart-ache.  We'll learn about herbs that  help nourish the heart both physically and spiritually.  We'll also go over beneficial foods and exercises for strengthening the heart, and opening the heart chakra.  Please RSVP at mroseherbs@yahoo.com 
Hope to see you there!  ~Melanie
