*March-November 2020, Lenni Lenape Territories, “Philadelphia”*
The Grassroots Herbalism Intensive is intended to give a foundation in the basics of western herbal medicine and holistic health, informed by an intersectional, anti-oppressive perspective.
Over 9 months, students will develop their experience with and relationship to plants, herbal medicine and personal health in a small-group format that emphasizes practicality, applicability and self-inquiry.
Students will learn to apply frameworks for creating appropriate and responsible herbal information and recommendations for themselves, friends communities, with consideration of the implicit political nature of healing work.
Class meets one weekday and one weekend a month (Sat-Sun), and is a mix of experiential learning, outdoor time, lecture and discussion and includes self-study, homework and projects.

Vitalist Theory and Practice / Plant Identification / Wildcrafting /
Materia Medica / Medicine Making / Formulation / Basic Anatomy and
Physiology / Energetics and Actions / The 6 Tissue States / First Aid and Palliative Care / Food as Medicine / Research and Information Sourcing / Accessibility and low-income strategies / Herbal Safey / Harm Reduction Approaches / Plant Walks / Field Trips

In this introductory workshop, we'll cover fundamentals for keeping the body resilient during cold and flu season and how to quickly get well once illness takes hold.
This workshop will discuss the immune and lymphatic systems and how to influence their healthy functioning through herbal support (with focus on easy-to-find medicinal foods, herbs and spices), lifestyle changes, useful supplements, and the differences between herbal immune stimulants, immune tonics, antivirals and symptom-based management.
We'll finish up by making our own staple cold and flu remedy to take home; the storied Fire Cider. Bring a clean pint jar (about a 16oz jar - like a salsa jar) if you can.
In order to estimate supplies... Registration is required :) https://bit.ly/37YS9uJ
Tuesday, December 17 6:30-9 @ The Wooden Shoe
Suggested Donation: $10-$30 (collected at the workshop) includes Fire Cider supplies.
