Come and join us as we explore the living green pharmacy that grows all around us – even while living in the city. This course will help us reconnect back to simple and accessible knowledge about how medicinal plants can support our health. We will experience and relearn how our intuitive senses can inform and guide us to better understand which plants can support us while navigating day to day ailments and how to incorporate ‘food as medicine’ into our daily lives to promote better health and prevent disease.
The course will use a combination of: evidence based research, basic physiology and anatomy, plant botany and chemistry, folklore and traditional knowledge. We will expand and integrate different ways of learning to feel confident and inspired to use safe home remedies for ourselves, our families, friends and communities.
Relearning the healing plants that would have been common knowlege in past generations through growing, foraging and making medicine is one key way to build back resilience, respect and an intimate sense of nature nourishment that these times we live in are calling for.
