Project: Reconnecting to Ancestral Intelligence: Plant Ally Medicine That Heal The Mind, Body & Soul
Through observation, exploration and practice, we will explore medicine making for the mind, body and soul through the healing modality of flower essences. This project is divided into three components to be completed as a day-long workshop. The first component is a neighborhood herbal walk and survey.The second component is the gathering, through the process of active imagination we will ask the plants which medicines we should use to make medicines. The third and final component is a medicine making 101 which will include making flower essences, herbal infused oils and teas or tinctures depending on what plants are chosen.
