Empowerment is knowing how to make plant medicine with your own two hands and how to use the extractions to help you and your community. This event will demonstrate how to prepare a percolation, and Thomas will talk about his journey as an herbalist and plant medicine maker. Afterwards he will be doing a book signing for those who have purchased Modern Herbal Dispensatory, authored by Thomas Easley and Steven Horne.
