Mother Nature offers us an abundance of healing plants, many of
which grow right outside our back doors. This class will
give you a way of thinking about herbs and enable you to
begin using these healing gifts from the green world.
Lesley will share the ways she uses some of her favorite herbs. She will demonstrate how to prepare herbal infusions, discuss the reasons for taking herbs this way, and address how they benefit health. Participants will be encouraged to shed the allopathic way of thinking about herbs and to embrace a holistic perspective. Class size will be limited to 9 people. You will learn how to prepare nourishing infusions from dried plants. A companion class is planned for early next summer. That class will focus on fresh plants and include how to prepare herbal tinctures and oils. Lesley Irene Shore, Ph.D., founder of Harmony Center, has been tending, loving, and working with herbs for over 25 years. She is a counseling psychologist (with over 40 years of 'clinical' experience), organic grower, deep ecologist, and earth steward of Harmony Farm. The author of two books, Lesley has held faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. Place: The Herb Studio of Harmony Farm in Medfield, MA. Directions will be sent with confirmation of registration. Date and Time: Fee: $15, payable to Harmony Center. As Lesley donates her time to Harmony Center, all proceeds from this class will go towards the care and maintenance of Harmony Center. Pre-registration is necessary. As space is limited, we recommend that you sign up early by sending your check to: Harmony Center, 315 North St., Medfield, MA 02052. We confirm registrations and send out additional information via e-mail, so please include your e-mail address if you have one. |
