The Heart & Art of Traditional
Herbal Medicine: Bringing
People & Plants Together
Starts: Thursday, 23rd March 2023
Where: Zoom
Time: 9.30am to 11am Sydney (AEST) time.
About this event
In this 6 week online masterclass for practitioners and herbal medicine students, I share information about over 50 herbs and their 'person pictures', relevant iris signs, associated sun signs and the art of drop dosing.
My teaching is based on the philosophies of Dorothy Hall and the experience I've gained in over 19 years of clinical practice. This knowledge will deepen your understanding about herbs and people, marrying the two together with valuable insights which you can apply in clinical practice.
This course is for you if:
-
you want to move beyond a 'this herb for that' way pf practising you want to deepen your understanding of herbal prescribing
-
you wished you'd studied with Dorothy Hall
-
you want to learn about drop dosing so you can minimise your impact on the environment and prescribe for your sensitive patients
I've now run this masterclass eight times and have had all sorts of wonderful feedback - people find the knowledge easy to put into practice, they've been amazed at how effective it is, the information has given them a whole different way of looking at herbs and their clients are really happy with their results. I'm so excited to be running the ninth round of it!

About this event
The fundamentals of a nutrient dense, nourishing diet for the modern carer:
-
For nutrient dense foods that nourish the body and help to heal our relationship with food, the Wise Traditions diet, based on the principles of the Weston A. Price Foundation, recommends incorporating a variety of whole, unprocessed foods. This includes grass-fed meats, organ meats, wild-caught fish, pastured eggs, raw dairy, bone broth, fermented foods, and healthy fats such as coconut oil, olive oil, and tallow.
-
The diet emphasies the importance of traditional preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting, and fermenting to improve the digestibility and nutrient availability of foods. It also advocates against processed foods, refined sugars, industrial seed oils, and grains that have not been properly prepared.
-
The Wise Traditions diet is based on the philosophy of respect for food, which means honouring the natural cycles and diversity of nature, and recognizing the importance of locally sourced, sustainably raised foods. This approach not only supports our individual health but also promotes a more ethical and environmentally conscious food system.
You will experience:
-
A fresh, new perspective on your relationship to food
-
Tastings of various foods that make your taste buds tingle
-
Hearing about sacred wisdom from the native traditions in a very unique style
-
Connection and conversation as we prepare foods together
-
Learning about politically incorrect nutrition that makes you question everything you’ve learned from the TV
* Plus... recipes and resources
