Herbs to Lift the Spirit: An Herbal Medicine Workshop with Julie James

Life in our culture can be really difficult for many people. For some, it’s been this way all along. For others, they’re just starting to experience it. For all of us, there is a pall of gloom, doom, sorrow and loss that is very hard to move past.

Thankfully, there are many herbs that can help us in times like these. Herbs that lift our mood, ease our spirit, remind us of the beauty and love and community and joy that ALSO exists in the world. Herbs that remind us how to connect with those feelings, how to nourish and grow them, and herbs that empower us to stand up and act against the forces of oppression and injustice and, let’s face it, evil.

In this class, we will surround ourselves with the plants that facilitate joy and help raise our faces to the sun and moon and stars and the bright eyes of our beloveds. We need medicine like this in times like this.

Join us for some unabashed exhilaration and connection. We will create a blend in class for us all to take home, plus ideas and information on so many other ways to cultivate joy in our lives.
