Focus on single herbs

​

Each session we gather to focus on a single healing herb. The heart of this process is a guided blind tasting of a herbal infusion.

Similarly to wine tastings, we use the full range of our senses to perceive the properties of each healing herb. 

As we observe the colour, smell, taste and consistency, we are able to also observe or intuitively sense the healing effects of the herb in our own bodies.

​

This process is guided mindfully and includes explanations of the connections between certain characteristics and possible actions. The tasting is followed by a group discussion on the traditional and modern uses of the individual healing herb.

Through this process we get to know each herb intimately. Even after hundreds of blind tastings I am still excited about what can be discovered through conscious mindfulness.

​

Each "Encounters with Herbs" series focuses on a different theme.

Who is this for... everyone is warmly welcome!

To take home... you receive a sample of the herbs to use at home, as well as an accompanying handout on each herb discussed

Herbal approach... the personal perspective that a herbal encounter enables, combined with traditional and modern knowledge, promotes a self-confident, safe and creative approach to the world of healing herbs
