'Diggin Deep: A Plant Medicine Workshop Series at RTR (09-13-2015)
'Diggin Deep is a Plant Medicine Workshop Summer Series located (most of the time) in the backyard oasis of The Random Tea Room and Curiosity Shop located in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia.
The seventh course of the series is: As Above, So Below: Astrology and Herbology, led by Alyssa Schimmel.
The herbalists of yore based their knowledge of healing upon a joint understanding of the planets and the plants, often making elaborate tables of correspondences that associated each planet with a mineral, stone, color, herb, etc. In this class, we'll learn the archetypes of each planet and astrological sign and how this can illuminate our understanding of plant energetics and how to work with them on the emotional and spiritual realm. We'll taste tinctures of plants under the sign of their rulership and enjoy time for reflection, meditation, and sharing.
