We are adding a couple more skillshares for the LGBTQIAP+ community this season due to demand. Join us for the fifth of our series of skillshares for our LGBTQIA* community of all (a)genders in collaboration with Agua y Sangre Healing! In collaboration with Women's Wilderness & Natural Wisdom Counseling, we received a small grant from The Open Door Fund to be able to offer community skillshares for the queer community. 

Blooms, Bears, and Bitters: an introduction to herbal medicine for the gut, the mind, and the transition of seasons.

In this class we will talk about how we can call on & accept support from our herbal allies to help us adjust and flow during the transition from winter to spring. We will begin by briefly introducing herbal medicine as a concept, and then dive into the importance of creating connections with plants, how to speak to them, and how to ask & receive their permission to call in their medicina & magic. We will then discuss in detail a handful of plantitas that are perfect for supporting us in the transition of springtime - when things are starting to bloom, our digestive systems are coming out of hibernation, and our minds + spirits could use some extra love. We will finish the class by making our own springtime remedio - a nourishing herbal vinegar.
