Humans and plants share a deep, ancient bond—a connection that lives within us all. While modern knowledge of medicinal plants is often credited to centuries of trial and error, many traditional cultures believe the plants themselves are the true teachers.

In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore the concept of plants as guides and tap into our inner wisdom to sense how herbs affect the body. Through simple, hands-on exercises, you’ll learn to awaken your herbal intuition and discover how this intuitive approach deepens your understanding of and relationship with herbs.

Join us to reconnect with nature’s wisdom and embrace a more personal, heart-centered way of working with plants.
