Reconnecting with plants
Introduction
Re-establishing connection with nature in a world of disconnection is a key step
in the journey towards healing and wellness. Luckily, plants can serve as bridges
to reconnect with wilderness/ ‘inner wildness’.
The best way to learn about medicinal plants is by developing personal
relationships with them. This can be done via the garden and the kitchen; also by
spending time with plants in nature and by using them in daily life as medicines.
In this way their knowledge is slowly, yet surely imparted.
The course:
This 10-week herbal medicine course will focus on a number of commonly used
medicinal herbs that can be grown in the garden for use as medicines in the
home.
The aim of the course is to:
1. Demonstrate methods for developing personal relationship with plants
via group-centred experiences and facilitated group discussion;
2. Learn how to recognise the properties of herbs using the five senses;
3. Use this as a foundation for more formal learning about the history,
medicinal uses and properties of the selected herbs (notes provided);
4. Spend time with other like-minded people who love learning about herbs!
