PMS is honored to have Lucretia VanDyke sharing her brilliance & guest facilitating a knowledge share with us !
Looking at the Whole Self in Holistic Healing Protocols
Our ancestors and Indigenous culture’s healers always looked at the entire person's body, mind, and spirit to co create a whole healing arts protocol for people who came to them for help. Oftentimes we know the right plant formulas to get our bodies back on track ,but are we looking deeper into ourselves and our clients to bring more synergy into our practice. Let us dive into the plant world to truly embrace the full magic of the plants to assist us to utilize them for all of their healing power.
We will explore:
Food for the soul- how to take your ancestor’s recipes/folk remedies and add more plant medicine in your diet.
Botanical skincare- create personal ceremonies of self care with herb infused face serums, spiritual bathing, kitchen spa products, pain remedies and more!
Plant spirit meditation- creating a more sacred space for you, your apothecary, and introducing yourself to the plant world.
Herbal formulations for the spirit- what herbs help with grief and other emotions
Wholeness womb medicine- look deeper at inter-generational womb trauma to assist in these trying times ,as a call for deeper medicine protocols to address the trauma in the body when history repeats itself.
