Workshop Description:
To begin with, in a new series of workshops rooted in the theme of “Above, Below & Within”, I will start the series by offering an initial “Foundations” workshop that will lay a base to work from for each of these 3 realms.
For the Below realm we will explore the foundations of Herbal Medicine via aspects such as herbal energetics, organoleptic pharmacology, the doctrine of signatures and nature reflections. For the Above realm we will explore the cosmos via aspects such as our Moons, Suns and Rising signs. And for the Within realm we will explore how to listen to our own hearts, Self leadership and our inner world via the Internal Family Systems model.
This initial “Foundations” workshop this autumn will lay the groundwork for other workshop series to follow in the new year explored via “Above,Below & Within”, such as mid life transitions, navigating during times of crisis, end of life preparation (because it is never too early to do that as the end could be at any time and without a moments notice!) as well as workshops in mental health, digestive health and other dis-ease imbalances experienced.
This “Foundations” workshop will be a prerequisite for subsequent workshops explored via the “Above,Below & Within”. It is my intention presently to run the “Foundations” workshop once per year.

During this 4 evening workshop we will explore what this journey is, what it means and what it offers, should we choose to deeply engage. We will explore the consciousness of some key hormones, the 5 different stages on this journey and how one can get stuck in one or more phases of this journey. Because even though the monthly bleeding time has stopped, it does not mean that we are “through” the journey. One can actually get stuck in “the Pause” phase for years or even decades!
We will discuss how to navigate the path, as well as where and how to anchor ourselves through the storm across turbulent waters to birthing our self as an infant elder, infant wise woman. And what could moving forward look like. We will make medicines and sip tea. However, forewarned, this workshop is not for the faint of heart. It requires a courageous heart. Oh!! And be prepared for some bawdy conversations….! 🙂
This workshop will be co-facilitated by Christine Dennis and Kim North. Kim will be facilitating the medicine making portion of the workshop.

Program Description: 1 weekend per month for 6 months; learning outcomes will focus on the objective and practical side of herbal medicine, as well as the subjective and creative side as well. Topics discussed include Goethean Methodology, wild crafting and harvesting herbs, edible wilds, herbal medicine preparations, organoleptic pharmacology, plant identification, personal plant projects, plant consciousness/spirit medicine, group studies! Although it is a field experience, the course will not only help one to learn about, as well as develop relationships on various levels with the plants in and around their garden and in the wild, but it is also about the real herbal medicine and that is herbs as a vehicle for a personal transformation and a healing journey inward. It is an exercise of learning to better trust one’s Self. It is a beautiful process journeyed with like minded people.
To register – prerequisite – a short conversation with Christine to discuss the program together to. make sure that it is a good fit for you.
