Herbalism

As you know, the common cold, cough/congestion and flu-like symptoms can really take their toll on us. We can help get relief from these common illnesses by using medicinal plants. Plant medicine has been passed down for generations to help give us relief and only in the last couple of decades it stopped being passed down and then simply forgotten. In this class you will learn what plants to grow so you too can make very effective plant medicine which helps give you relief from common illnesses. You will learn and make medicinal teas, herbal tinctures and a discussion on building your immunity with medicinal plants.

We live in a very diverse area here in the Adirondacks. There are so many medicinal herbal plants that grow in the wild. We will seek out the common medicinal herbal plants that grow in our area and take cuttings to create a simple Herbarium which helps remember the plants that we have identified. Lise will discuss how the plants are used and their impact on wellness. We will also cover popular herbal garden plants that grow well here in the Adirondacks.

In days gone by, it was common practice for people living in wild places to tend the land which provided them with food, medicine, and shelter. It was a daily exchange of life between human and the natural world. In this introductory series, we will explore the natural world and discover ways to more fully engage with her as she moves through each of the four seasons. In each class we will: create an outdoor (temporary) medicine wheel in order to deepen our understanding of the cyclical nature of all life: plants, people, animal/insect. We will also engage with/forage the plants which are available to us as we seasonally and learn how to transform what they have to offer into something we can use, aka beneficial preparations. This class will be balanced with time outdoors for Wild Tending and indoors for hands-on practice of preparation techniques and extraction methods. Each class stands on it's own. Together they create a synergy of seasonal attunement aligning your wild nature with the natural world around you.
