Making Plant Medicine Intensive with Terri Tall Tree beginning/intermediate level
A First-time Special monthly class series taking place at:
Terri’s Sweet Peace Sanctuary outside of Sebastopol
Want to get a bit more serious with your Herbal Medicine Making? Want a better understanding of how and why ome formal training, to better understand what you are doing and why. Then this Intensive is for you!
We will meet one Saturday a month, plus two Sunday bonus days, for seven months and learn proper procedures and techniques for making potent plant medicine. We will formally learn the hows, whys and whats of taking herbs from the garden, field, and marketplace and making them into strong effective medicines.
Using a mixture of lecture, demonstration, hands-on work, and monthly homework assignments, we will build our knowledge, comprehension, and skills.
We will address both the physical and energetic aspects of making medicine, to understand what we’re doing, to go beyond just following recipes, and to be in right relation with the plants and the body.
Location
- We will meet at Terri’s Sweet Peace Sanctuary outside of Sebastopol. Location given upon registration.
- All classes will take place outside on a large platform under the majestic Black and Valley Oaks, unless weather sends us inside.
