Details

     

Prepare to experience an inner change as you journey with a plant teacher. Experience the shamanic alchemical process as we learn to interpret the gesture and gestalt of the plant which calls us to itself.

Learn to really be present with another living being to enable us to free the true healing essence of a plant with which we work to create a new medicinal preparation for continued application.

 

Plant Study and Medicine Making Immerse yourself in a unique opportunity to work with medicinal plants on a deep level with 2 plant

lovers: Medical Herbalist, Maureen Robertson and Nature Beholder, Margaret Colquhoun . Using

the contemplative approach laid down by Goethe and developed further by Rudolf

Steiner informing his ideas for Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy we will cross over into the plant

realm and come back with a clear idea of the therapeutic qualities of a plant “ally”.
