THE FLOW
FEATURING
The Classes
Over the course of the month, we will gather for classes live on Zoom once a week. These classes will run 1.5-2 hours, and will cover herbalism basics, drawing upon Traditional Western Herbalism, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, looking at how to support various body systems with holistic practice and herbal medicine. There will be a Q&A portion at the end of each class. All classes will be recorded and uploaded into the course portal.
Community Support
Although this is an online course, community connection will be woven throughout. When we come together and share our individual experiences with the plants, there is an opportunity of deepening our collective understanding. We will gather for 2 integration calls on Zoom where everyone will have a chance to share about their experiences. There will also be a Telegram group chat for everyone to connect, share experiences, photos, songs, etc.
Practices & Rituals
An aspect of this course will be the suggested practices, meditations and rituals you do at home. With each module, a set of PDF handouts will be uploaded into the course portal, featuring guided practices for embodiment, plant spirit connection and earth ritual. Examples: tea meditation, altar building, guided somatic meditations.
Herbal Medicine Box
You will be mailed an herbal medicine box with the herbs we will be working with during the course. This medicine box ($90 value) will feature dried herbs, herbal tinctures and herbal oil. Each module you will be guided to work in daily meditation with the herbal ally of the week. This embodied plant connection practice is an essential aspect of this program, intend to set aside 20-30 mins per day for the practice.
Meet your guide
Hi, I'm Amma ~
herbalist, earth lover & student of the plants
My herbal studies began in an intensive clinical herbalism program and as an academic oriented person, my plant studies followed that direction for a good many years. I love to get nerdy and scientific with it
(don't worry, we still will!) -
and yet...
​
As my personal journey with plant medicines has evolved,
I have found my most impactful learning has happened through embodied experience and connection with plants.
Some of my deepest transformation has come through emotional and spiritual healing with plants.
​
My biggest teacher has been the Earth herself.
​
Herbalism without connection to the spirit of the plants and the animacy of the Earth feels hollow to me.
Knowing which herb is good for what condition is a chapter in the book; but knowing the plant spirit is just as important a piece of the story.
Our ancestors lived a life of embodied connection to the land.
Orphaned from that sense of belonging, we have found ourselves bereft, disconnected and unwell. Embodied connection to the living earth and plant medicines is a pathway to weaving ourselves back into belonging.
​
​And so Embodied Herbalism was born...
an immersive program to feed your mind, heart and body.
a place to learn about the plants and from them.
a path to rekindling your sense of belonging.
