Plants and trees have been adapting since the beginning of time, and we are being asked to do the same right now. How can we care for ourselves amidst all the disruption in the world? As herbalists, we are often called upon to use our full capacity as helpers. How do we manage our energy needs?

Self–care is essential. It not only makes our work easier but also enhances our ability to receive subtle plant teachings and better serve those around us. We will explore a variety of ways to connect deeply with ourselves through self–care practices such as movement, meditation, and breath work. We will also discuss and taste adaptogen herbs, smell aromatic essential oils, and explore the subtle art of making plant energetic essences to help support us to root, rest, and renew.
