Plant and Planetary Rhythms
a workshop with Emily Wheeler, Clinical Herbalist
Wednesday, March 19th 6-8 pm
$12/$10 for members; pre-registration required
As humans–earth-bound beings–we are deeply connected to the seasonal rhythms caused by our planet’s relationship to the sun. Culpepper, Steiner, and others have observed that plants also respond to influences from the sun, moon, planets, and stars beyond. In this class, we will explore such celestial cycles and how this awareness can guide one’s approach to planting, tending, and harvesting plants for food and medicine. There will be a strong focus on biodynamic planting for the upcoming seed sowing season.
