After the Herb Walk Session of our Star Herbal Topic of the year:
Calm, Focus & Resilience: Herbal Support for a Stressed-Out World @ 1:30 pm
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us are running on empty—feeling overwhelmed, wired, or simply not as steady as we’d like to be. But what if your body already knows how to feel calm, focused, and resilient… it just needs the right support?
Join us after the Herb Walk for a special featured session exploring five powerful herbs that gently nourish and support the nervous system. You’ll learn how to work with your body—rather than against it—using simple, time-tested herbal approaches.
We’ll highlight tulsi, ashwagandha, lemon balm, oat straw, and skullcap, and explore how each one plays a unique role in restoring balance—from daily stress support to moments of acute overwhelm.
This session is designed to be practical, approachable, and rooted in both traditional wisdom and real-life application. You’ll walk away with simple ways to incorporate these herbs into your daily routine and a deeper understanding of how to support your body through the ups and downs of everyday life.
