PMS is honored to have Olatokunboh Obasi sharing her brilliance & guest facilitating a knowledge share with us !
Place Centered Herbalism
The practice of herbalism is vast. Amongst many ways that we express it, we also prepare plant medicine formulas, write, teach, grow, and interact spiritually with them. Developing relationships with our plant medicines is key to understanding how they work. This process can be personal and intimate. The plants around us are the best plants to explore deeper as they are always available to us. This class will explore the many ways that we can commune with plants, why it is important to commune with plants around us and how we can cultivate deeper meaning in our relationship with them.
