However we may describe it, most of us feel that we are in a time of great flux, turbulence and quickening. Wherever we may be going, we are going there with our bodies, minds, spirits and hearts as one, and so we must be adaptable and resilient, both for ourselves and those around us. This talk speaks to that, and will include herbal allies as well as simple, timeless wisdom from our great spiritual tradition.

We will investigate traditional Western, Chinese and Native American philosophies and practices that eloquently describe our human ‘architecture’, and which offer tools to help us more gracefully navigate our lives. Among the medicines we will explore are tools for awareness, conceptualization, language, visualization, nutrition, and herbs in all their forms. This class is relevant for everyone, as life is happening to all of us.
