Intro to Herbalism

with Wendy Snow Fogg, Sr. Herbalist ~ Owner of Misty Meadows

7-9:30 pm

 You’ve been interested in herbalism for a while now.  You’ve probably even tried some herbal teas and taken Echinacea for your colds.  Isn’t it time you learned what’s it’s all about? Join us and learn the hands-on basics of herbalism.  Choose any class from the following list for only $35. 

Friday  May 23                 Radiant Skin

You scrub it, scrape it, burn it, oil it, take the oil off it, mask it, massage it, shrink it, stretch it and stare at everyone else’s!  But, do you know why skin looks the way it does?  Do you know what your skin tells about your health?  Come learn about this amazing skin that covers your body.  Learn to make a facial steam, an all natural scrub, toner and moisturizer.  Please bring:  3qt. Bowl, bath towel,  measuring spoons, glass measuring cup, 2 ziploc bags, 1 2oz. Spritzer bottle and 1 1oz. Cream jar. Spritzer and cream jar can be purchased in the Misty Meadows Herb Shop during regular store hours.

 Friday  February 29        Soaks & Salts

An evening of oohs and ahs!  A soak in the tub is a wonderful thing, but not always possible.  Come learn the benefits of herbal soaks for hands, feet and whole bodies.  Each participant will create and experience a soothing foot soak that will bring new vitality to those tired feet; then a European salt rub; next, a hand soak to pamper and soften your hands; and you will take home samples to try in your own full bath! Please bring: 3qt. Bowl, 2 bath towels,  measuring spoons, glass measuring cup, 2 ziploc bags, and a 2 oz. Salve jar (jar can be purchased in the Misty Meadows Herb Store during regular business hours.)

 

Friday March 7           Tea Blending for Flavor and Health

Come learn what’s in herbal tea and how to make your own choices about what kind of tea would be best for you.  You’ll learn about 10 herbs you can work with to make delicious teas to relax and rejuvenate, teas for treating colds, allergies, arthritis and other ailments.  Then you’ll design your own personal blend, brew it and sample it, and have enough to take home and enjoy several more cups!  Please bring: measuring spoons, measuring cup, 2 qt. Bowl, 2 lg. Ziploc bags, and a tea ball.

 

Friday March 28         Salves & Syrups

Herbal salves and syrups are a must for every household.  Whether you family’s needs include scraped knees, post-surgical care or diaper rash, an herbal salve can prove invaluable.  Commercial cough syrups can be innefective and sometimes dangerous, especially for babies. Herbal syrups guarantee that you know every ingredient and what it’s purpose is.  Come learn how to make an all purpose healing salve and a basic cough syrup.  Learn how all recipes can be adapted to suit many needs.  Please bring: measuring spoons, measuring cup,  1 oz. Grated beeswax, 2 oz. Almond oil, Wooden spoon, small glass bowl, 1 2oz. Salve jar, 1 4oz.

Saturday March 1                                                  Reiki & Your Companion Animals
10 am – 1 pm                                                                     Facilated By:  Carol Lizotte,
                                              Shamballa Reiki Master,  Herbalist, Flower Essence Practitioner,  Aromatherapist

Animals are the greatest teachers;  without being overbearing, they seem to show us ways of progressing on our natural paths with kindness, strength and humor.   It's only fitting that we reciprocate in kind. The Reiki healing system is perfect for this, as it carries with it a respectful acknowledgement of animals' expansive capabilities.  Masters of energetic integration, animals intuitively understand that we all exist on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level simultaneously, making then naturals at accepting Reiki into their lives.

 Animals have always assured me that using intuition is an effective tool for treating and re-balancing health.   Intuition is based upon trust, another element that animals teach.

 The focus of this workshop will be to help the Reiki practitioner develop & learn:

        1. Techniques to build trust and communication with their companion animals.

        2.  How and When to give Reiki to animals

        3.  Specific Meridian lines and acupressure points to aid the healing process

        4.  Reiki for shelter/rescue animals and the old and dying.

Cost:    $65.00 includes handout with charts.  Prerequisite:  Open to all Reiki Practitioners (please bring your highest Reiki level certificate).
