'Diggin Deep: A Plant Medicine Workshop Series at RTR (08-23-2015)
'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.
This course of the series has been cancelled, please join us for the last class on September 13th.
The sixth course of the series is: Plant Energetics, led by Alyssa Schimmel.
A nuts-and-bolts type of class, this workshop will ground our understanding of herbs in the language of traditional Western herbalism, energetics (hot - cold - damp - dry), and tissue states, giving us a scientific and intuitive framework for working with new and familiar plants. We'll learn how to classify an herb's actions in the body, learn various physical conditions, and create a continuum of comparison for working with plants - i.e. what's hotter ginger or cayenne - and how is this important? A great class for those looking to blend the scientific and the intuitive aspects of learning.
