Instructor	Lauren Herold
Details	This 10-week immersion will guide you safely into the realm of plant spirit medicine, or working with plants as spiritual allies. It was not so long ago that the laughter of trees and songs of the green were simply a part of the Way of Things.

Learn the medicine of healing herbs through direct experience, and take these communication skills with you to weave into your life or healing practice.

Essential oil spritzers are all the rage on the market right now, but many are made with synthetic fragrances that can cause serious allergic reactions.
