Materia Medica Class: A Monthly Journey through Nature's Apothecary

Drawing upon archetypal knowledge and the wisdom of herbal traditions, we'll explore the symbolic significance and energetic qualities of each herb. Through this lens, we'll understand how these plants resonate with universal themes and archetypal patterns, deepening our connection to the natural world and our own inner landscape.
