Women’s Herbalism Course Winter/Spring 2023
Are you interested in self-care practices, plant medicine and healing?
Are you ready to immerse yourself in the magical and fascinating world of plants?
When we open our hearts to the wisdom of the plants, we are remembering who we are meant to be, the life that is given to each of us to live. The plants are filled with light and love and they wish to share it with us. Here is an opportunity to not only expand your knowledge and understanding of herbs, but also to OPEN to the WISDOM OF YOUR OWN HEART – to hear the truth that is within you and to be able to receive the teachings of the plant world.
In the Flowering Earth Herbalism Course for Women we focus on connecting TO THE EARTH, finding our sense of place and learning to listen more delicately. To the plants. To all the beings that inhabit and coexist together. It’s about seeing how we are related to and depend on each other.
Plants are our allies, teachers, healers and friends. Our lives are interwoven with theirs, from the life-giving oxygen that they exhale to the nourishing foods and potent medicines that they grow within their own beings and offer up to us so generously. They give of themselves so completely, so humbly and they teach us to slow down, to LISTEN to our own inner wisdom so that we can remember that we are connected to ALL of life.

Irena is ever grateful to her teachers, mentors and friends who have generously shared their vast knowledge and understanding with her and many others, for all the people who came before and have passed down their teachings and traditions, and to the beautiful, wild, and selfless beings who offer up their healing wisdom and medicine, the plants themselves.
