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

Tea Tasting: Learning from Direct Experience



Tea Tasting: Learning from Direct Experience
Sat. Feb. 27th 2-4PM
53 Prince St., Jamaica Plain
Sliding Scale $12-$20
RSVP by email or phone call

How did the great medicine people of the past know which plants were used for which condition?
One way was by
deeply tuning into a plant, its taste, and perceiving its effects on the body, mind and spirit.

In this class we're going to be tasting some "mystery" teas with the hopes of discovering their medicinal properties.
That is, we'll be sitting with the herbal tea, smelling it, tasting it, and tuning in. The herbs sampled will be revealed
at the end of the class. We will all be able to discuss our perceptions of the plants and their possible therapeutic actions.

This is a great way to fine tune your inner senses and get in touch with the subtle
tastes of herbs and how they affect different
organs and body systems.

This class is for beginners and advanced students alike.
