What if there were simple, time-tested, easily accessible, and even intuitive ways of understanding the effects & energetics of a natural medicine? Well, event host Kearsley Schweller has come to share with you that there are! All of nature is a reflection of systems, patterns, and balance. When working intimately with food or plant medicines, the ability to observe these patterns & systems aids tremendously in understanding how or why something may effect us in a certain way. We begin to see things holistically, that is to say, the whole picture of how things work together, making the journey of connecting to and using foods and plants for health and well-being both simple and enjoyable.

Take for example the concept of taste. If we can taste that a plant or food is sweet,  we can deduce that it is probably calming, nourishing, comforting, and cool. With this knowledge, we can begin to understand WHY herbs like Oatstraw soothes the nervous system or chocolate calms heavy emotions. The sense of taste is a key to unlocking a whole array of information from plants, and better yet, it is free and most always accessible to us!

Are you ready to expand your innate ability to connect and confidently use plants and foods for wellbeing? Then join Kearsley for this special workshop and talk about ways to reshape our observations & support ourselves to understand plants & food from a more holistic perspective. No prior knowledge of energetics, plant medicines, or food medicines is necessary! Weaving together the concepts of elements, cycles, energetics, and patterns, the discussion will include but not be limited to:

- Elements of nature and their effects/embodiments

- Approaches to picking up on patterns

- Taste as a key to understanding

- Heat/cold, Tone/ Relax, & Moist/Dry energetics

- Ayurveda perspectives

- Applying this wisdom to the kitchen

- How this relates to Winter

What to Bring:

- a journal/notebook & pens to jot down information you find relevant

- a mug/jar of water or tea, hydration and comfort are at the heart of wellbeing!

- an open heart & curious mind! Kearsley deeply values your questions, comments, stories, and truths and invites you to co-create this space with them!

- $10-20 financial energy donation to support the continued education and empowerment of your community
