Western Herbal Energetics and Plant-Centered Somatics
2023 Weekend Intensive
with Thomas Easley and Mel Kasting
June 24-25, 2023
Somatic practices focus on the internal physical perceptions and experiences of the body.
In this class, we'll delve into "plant-centered somatics," the intentional act of taking a remedy and tuning in to how it feels in our bodies.
During this process you'll discover how somatic practices can help improve the connection between the mind and the body, and enhance self-awareness.

Join us on this sensory journey, and unlock the full potential of your relationship with the natural world.

We'll take plant walks, engage in ethical wildcrafting, make medicine with summer medicinals, and do blind tea tastings and somatic exercises each day. These activities will be held in our beautiful outdoor classroom space (weather permitting), allowing us to connect with nature on a deeper level.
While most of our time will be spent outside, we require masks in all indoor community areas.
