Herbal Course Announcement and Equinox Greetings 🌻

Published: Thu, 09/21/23

Dear friends,

As the Autumn Equinox approaches, I celebrate this year's harvest (both literal and figurative) as I pick the last of the tomatoes in my garden and reflect on what I've cultivated internally over the last several months, despite life's challenges. I hope your harvests have been plentiful, regardless of any challenges you faced.

Looking ahead, I have some exciting news to share. Registration is open for the next round of "Making Herbal Preparations for All Seasons", starting on November 18th! Learn how to make your own herbal remedies to support good health, all year long. This is a self-paced, 8-month course with one live, online group class with me per month.

In these live classes, I step you through how to make herbal preparations like Elderberry-rosehip syrup, "Tropical" Fire Cider and Dandelion Oxymel --just to name a few! You can make them along with me or just watch, take notes, and make them later on your own, as homework.

For beginners, it's a wonderful, hands-on way to learn the basics. Experienced herbalists will expand their knowledge while increasing their confidence in working with herbs and creating their own recipes. This course was so much fun last time around, and I look forward to the next group! You can find out more and register here.

There are still spaces open for our new Sunday morning yoga series, starting on October 8th! Yoga for a Healthy Back and Posture is a 4-week series designed to support a strong, healthy back and improve posture, through simple stretches and yoga poses. If you have been dealing with neck, back or posture issues, this series is made for you!

Find more info on these and other offerings below. As always, feel free to reach out and I hope to see you soon, whether online or in person! I'll be at this year's Sturbridge Herbfest on September 30th, presenting "Herbal Allies for Women's Health", so please stop and say hello if you are in the area.

Be well,

Diana
