Herbal Practices for Parents & Caregivers of Children

20 minutes  

It can be hard to find the time for our herbal practice in the best of times, and especially when parenting or caring for young children. Yet, integrating herbs into our everyday lives can help to build health, wellness, and joy, making us more resilient as individuals and humans living in community. This session will focus on fun herbal practices we can bring into our daily rhythms as everyday aspects of cultivating nourishment and joy. We’ll go over some basics and talk about ideas for bringing more herbs into your life such as adding herbs into your existing recipes, herbal tea ideas for kids, herbal cookie ideas, and inspiration for ways to bring herbs into play with children. Workshop participants will receive an electronic copy of a kids mini-workbook that includes seasonally-appropriate ideas and inspiration, including a couple recipes. This workshop is intended for parents, grandparents, and caregivers of children who are looking for some simple ways to begin to bring herbs into their time with children.
