An Intuitive and Sensory Herbal Medicine Workshop (Gift vouchers available).
THREE MONTH BLOCK (3 x 1.5 hour sessions)
Monday, September, 27th 18.00 - 19.30 @DaisyLaing Gallery, Chapel Street, Penzance.
The intuitive and sensory medicine workshop is an interactive learning opportunity to connect with the energetics and science of herbal medicine. Each session is centred around an intuitive and sensory plant study, during which a prepared medicine will be tasted by the group.
Ruth guides the group through this sensory process to help engage the innate ability to identify with the plants through the use of the intuition and senses.
Through this exercise the group will spend a period of quiet, meditative time channeling this sensory and intuitive information, learning to tap into the bodies primal ability to recognise the energy and chemistry of the medicines. Ruth encourages the group to write down these insights. For some this may be through the medium of art if some are inclined want to work this way. Working intuitively with plant medicines is also a wonderful way to channel creatively.
To identify with wild plants on a sensory and intuitive level is a forgotten primal skill of hunter gatherers, which lays dormant within our mammal subconscious. With practice, learning this intuitive skill enables you to identify the active chemistry and medicinal qualities of the plants.
After the plant study, Ruth will then share both the modern and historic understanding of the plant studied, a moment which often leads to a huge amount of wonder and surprise by the group, who will most likely have already channeled and described this information through the sensory findings.
Ruth then runs into the second part of the workshop with a fascinating lesson on plant chemistry, detailing how the 7 tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami, pungent and aromatic) can be linked to specific groups of plant chemicals. Understanding this chemistry is another incredible tool for learning about medicinal plants as part of this unique and personal experience.
The sessions are led by Ruth who shares her 13 years of experience in learning from the plants on a personal, practical and professional level, this is an opportunity to form a much deeper connection to the knowledge of herbal medicine, to forge a unique relationship with each plant studied and the wider plant world in which we have all evolved with and are supported by.
***Spaces for these sessions are very limited and are pre-bookable. Location: Penzance
All course materials are included including a hand out to take home. Sliding scale price for affordability, income based, starting from unwaged £25- £35 per session or as a block £80
