FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
22nd Annual Women’s Herbal Conference Honoring the Wisdom of our Ancestors
This year’s 22nd annual Women’s Herbal Conference - a celebration honoring Women, Healing and Herbs - will be held August 21-23, 2009. This conference has been held each year for more than two decades, and has brought together leading women herbalists and healers from throughout the country to share their wisdom of the plants and natural healing methods. Join us in this special celebration of our radiance, our bodies, and our work as wise women and healers.
The Women’s Herbal Conference features a great variety of workshops for all levels of interests and experience. Workshops focus on women’s health, herbal crafts, medicine making, plant identification walks and many hands-on demonstrations. Included also is an amazing evening of women talent, a great barter faire, ceremonial mask making, the annual henna party, canoeing, and many other joyful, playful and inspiring events!
Among the many noted teachers will be world-renowned herbalist and author of four best-selling books, Susun S. Weed.
Susun will be leading an intensive on Friday afternoon on “Magical Plants.” In this intensive delve into the many ways that herbs have been imbued with magical properties. Understand how to combine your own intentions with the energies of the plants to create more of what you want in life. Share stories of plant spirit medicine. Go on a `trance’ journey to talk with the fairies and devas. Open to the musical, aromatic, and chromatic, and morphogenetic languages of the plants and explore the magic of psychoactive plants. During class, you’ll make your own mojo bag or dream pillow and learn how to craft flying oils, love charms, and third-eye-opening tinctures. Join Susun for this magical and enchanted experience!
Workshop Intensives are approximately 3 1⁄2 to 4 hours in length. The Intensives offer participants an opportunity to study specific topics in greater detail and to work more closely with individual teachers. The fee for each Intensive is $35 and must be paid at the time of registration.
