Join Rachel Burgos of Snakeroot Apothecary on the Grow Good Farm. We'll focus on herbs for emotional support. Learn to how to use plants to help support the body, mind, and spirit in times of social, environmental, political, personal distress. Plants can help us when we confront stressful situations inside and outside of ourselves. Working with herbs can help us to take our mental and physical health into our own hands. In this class we will focus on mental health concerns, anxiety, stress and grief. We will discuss emotional resilience, what it means, rituals for self-care and cultivating a strong emotional backbone, and using herbal allies.
We will be introduced to some of these plants by walking the farm, harvesting, and processing herbs. We will learn a hands-on ancient infusion technique called "Oxymel" using fresh & dried herbs. "Oxymel" is derived from latin, meaning "acid and honey" -- we will be making our own herbal infused oxymels using fresh and dried herbs, flower essences, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Attendees will go home with an herbal infusion.
