Intro to Plant Medicine
When:
Saturday, Oct 5th; 9am-5pm
Sunday, Oct 6th; 9am-5pm
Please arrive by 8:45am and be prepared to start at 9am.
Where: Linne Doran is located about fifteen minutes outside of Duvall in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. You can find us via Google Maps or also view driving directions here.
What to Expect:
We will be spending significant time outside regardless of the weather. We encourage you to be prepared for all types of weather and bring several layers so that you can be comfortable throughout the class.
During this weekend we introduce you to the basics of plant medicine with hands-on identification, ethical harvesting, plant processing, and medicine making. We balance theory with practice; this helps you create a multifaceted relationship with plants to support your specific health needs on many levels. You will make several medicines: tinctures, oils, infusions, and more!
As this program is about connecting with nature, we will ask people to turn off their devices and only use for emergencies.
