If you've ever been intrigued by using plants and fungi as medicine, come along to these Herb Journey sessions to experience their power directly 🌿 🍄
Each session we will gather to meet one mystery medicinal herb. You will be guided through some grounding exercises and then offered a herbal preparation*. Through gentle prompts, you are invited to sit and take notice of any effects the herb may have on you.
There will be time to process through writing or drawing (some materials provided, feel free to bring your own), followed by space to share experiences as a group if you feel comfortable. Finally, the mystery herb will be revealed and we will discuss its ID, uses and other traditional knowledge.
*IMPORTANT NOTE
- If you have any medical conditions, allergies or are taking any medications please contact in advance to check suitability
- In some sessions we will use alcohol-based extractions. Typical dose 5ml. If this is an issue for you, please get in touch in advance
- There is parking either side of Y Stiwdio and outside the chapel opposite. If no spaces are available, park at Canolfan Hermon - 2 mins walk away here. It is essential that you do not park in front of residential houses
