DISCOVERING Herbal Allies Series
2nd Saturdays through February:
November 14
December 12
January 9
February 13
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
Presenter: LeAnna Cargman from Nomadic Roots Herbals
A Vitalist Approach to Connecting with Herbal Medicine
Offered in-person only.
In this monthly one-hour workshop series, the focus will be on one plant each month for its benefits to health and wellness. For example, an allergy-supporting herb was used in September; an immune herb will be introduced in October; a digestive herb in November, etc. After settling on intentions, our herbalist LeAnna will introduce participants to the plant, its botanical basics--where it grows and how it is harvested followed by folklore, history, traditional lore, and astrological associations. Participants will learn the plant’s medicinal benefits, how it’s used, safety notes, and brewing preparation methods. There will be guided meditation with the herb as tea, brewed in the room and sampled. There will be ample time to community share, ask questions, get take-home tips and samples, and participate in one simple practice or reflection prompt for the month. Join us and become inspired by this enlightening herbal medicine workshop!
This workshop is offered in-person only, no Zoom.

“To love a person is to see all of their magic, and to remind them of it when they have forgotten.” – Anonymous
This FREE group meets on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 4:00 p.m. each month on Zoom with the intention of creating a space where caregivers can share the challenges and victories that come with this special role.

This support group will be facilitated by experienced spousal caregivers, Pat Anderson and Rachel Fitch. Pat is a retired counselor and a licensed Unity Teacher. Rachel is an executive coach with a long career leading organizational professional development.
We hope you will join us if you are a caregiver or if you would like to better understand how to support a loved one who is a caregiver. All shared experiences will be kept confidential.
