Our (free) workshop on HERBAL MEDICINE-MAKING is coming up! Part 1 is on Sunday, November 21, 2-4pm. Part 2 is on Sunday, December 5, 3.30-5.30pm. We'll be learning to make herbal salves and herbal tinctures (both alcohol and glycerine), and lots of other good stuff about herbal medicine in general.

Facilitated by Laura Sellens and Lia Ayley (enthusiastic amateurs) and Dov Shoneman (experienced herbalist who has owned his own herbal medicine-making business). There is no charge for this workshop, but it is LIMITED TO SIX PEOPLE. Reservations are required.

Sounds great, Laura! Keep me posted as to the hows and whens.

Comment by Laura J Sellens on November 1, 2010 at 12:41pm

Hi all, Lia Ayley and I are fixin' to put on an introductory level herbal medicine making workshop in the near future. Echinacea tincture and comfrey salve. Wondering if anyone would like to collaborate? It also crossed our minds that it's likely some of you out there are more qualified to teach this so we thought we'd ask if there's interest. Apologies for any redundant emails, I'm sharing this with the Re-skilling group as well.

Hi, I just joined the group. I'm a nurse (community and public health) and also know a little about herbal medicine. It seems clear that climate change will cause more hunger, malnutrition, and problems with food distribution, but an upside might be less production of processed foods and meat (both big energy consumers). And maybe more exercise, as people won't be driving like they do now.
Another trend hopefully will be people taking a more proactive and responsible approach to their own health, and a burgeoning of modalities that can be learned and shared, such as acupressure.

Comment by Daimon Sweeney on June 21, 2010 at 6:50pm

I just joined this group. I'm interested in health in all dimensions, and specialize in EFT, a mental/emotional acupressure method that often allows dramatic change, even in physical well-being.

I think it would be helpful to have EFT as a part of everyone's health toolkit for self and others, especially as all it takes is fingertips and a little training to be able to use it.

If you're interested check out the events for a June 29 demonstration/introduction.

In case any of you are needing an affordable health insurance plan, I just learned about a new plan called Washington Health (it is the same as Basic Health Plan but without the subsidy from WA state). The premiums are something like $120 to $200 a month depending on your age. I am definitely going to apply for it, since I am on the waiting list for Basic Health, which is probably 100,000 people long! You can visit www.washingtonhealth.hca.wa.gov or call 800-660-9840 for information.
