An Introduction to Herbal Intuitive Medicine
You are invited to participate in learning the wisdom of plants through hands on experience with gardening, wildcrafting, medicine making, justice, entrepreneurship, embodiment and magic. Experience the ways of herbal medicine within ourselves by connecting with our ancestors, our intuition and our earthly contributions. Prepare to walk away with herbal knowledge rooted in cultural relativity, honorable harvest, spirit, ritual and remedies.
