This hands-on workshop will be taught by Laura Shiels who teaches classes in the areas of environment and natural (herbal) approaches to improving personal health.  You will learn about medicinal plants  growing around you, both wild and that which you can cultivate.  You will explore the intuitive, energetic, ecological and biochemical aspects of making your own plant medicine through a combination of lecture, demonstrations, hands-on skill development, and discussion.  You will cultivate an awareness of ecological cues about the action and potency of medicinal plants and learn skills for detecting and increasing the medicinal potential of your herb garden while you learn how to make some healing plant remedies for internal and external applications.

Participants will be instructed on what materials to bring for class and will go home with sample remedies which they have made in class.
