September 7-12, 2008(16 spaces left as of 5/13/8)

 

In this unique week-long program, we create a safe and sacred circle for women to connect deeply with the earth and themselves. Together, we take an in-depth journey into the world of edible and medicinal plants to observe the plants. Through this program, you will develop a circle of herbal allies. In the wise woman tradition, we don't do this by just memorizing facts. This program is an opportunity to create a personal relationship with the plants, Mother Earth, your intuition, and your own body. It is not only a knowledge base, but also a lifestyle: one of self-love, nourishment, compassion, and caring for the Earth.

We harvest and make medicines together. Through workshops, discussions, and plant walks, you deepen your understanding of how to take health care into your own hands. A certificate is awarded upon completion of the program.

In these times, even herbal medicine is following in the footsteps of the pharmaceutical industry, becoming increasingly disconnected and removed from the source. Join Corinna in reweaving the ancient cloak of deep respect for the earth and our own bodies. Reclaim your birthright of knowing how to use the plants around you as food and medicine & loving yourself as a woman, body & soul.
