Soothing the Hungry Ghost Within
with Lydia Bartholow & Jen Stovall
As the opioid epidemic reaches massive proportions and overdose rates soar, many of us struggle with a lack of tools to support our clients, community, and loved ones. Join Jen Stovall & Lydia Bartholow as they share the tools that they have gathered in their work with addiction over the years. In this class, we will discuss how to conceptualize addiction, the neurobiology behind it, herbs that can support folks who struggle with addiction, and the use of ear beads as support for folks who choose to quit. We will also cover overdose prevention and response, including the use of Narcan and the issues with the current rise of Fentanyl. This will be a conversational class between Lydia & Jen, where they combine their separate classes on the subject to share years of experience working with this subject.
This class is sliding scale $25 to $60 with the true cost of this class being $45.
Wondering where you might fit along this scale? Read below for more thoughts.
25% of all proceeds from the class will go to supporting Brown Girl Rise.
Jen Stovall works as a Community Herbalist & Health Educator, using a blend of Southern Folk Medicine, Western Herbalism, and harm reduction in her classes and with her clients. She is co-owner of Maypop Community Herb Shop in New Orleans and has a BSN-RN & a NADA Ear Acupuncture Detox Specialist & Trainer license, both of which inform her herbal practice. She has found herbalism to be both a potent tool for pursuing social justice in the world, and a powerful manifestation of the ethical and ideological path she walks in her personal life. She believes that health care should be accessible to everyone and that the most powerful strategy for this is educating and empowering people to choose their own path to health. She is constantly renewed and inspired by witnessing the magic spark that occurs when people are introduced to plant allies through consultations, herb walks, medicine making, & health education.
