Emotional First Aid

Course overview

Now more than ever, solutions to finding calm in the chaos are essential for weathering the storm and maintaining our health and our sanity. By leaning into nature and learning from the plants around us, we can gather tools from our garden and reminders in the reflection of nature to bring balance to our mind despite these turbulent times, and cultivate calm, clarity, and courage amidst the chaos. We have compiled some of our most-utilized tools and practices to share with you to learn from our bodies how to bring balance. We introduce you to the gifts and guidance of nature, through accessible, simple, practical ideas, and plant remedies to ease the stress, anxiety, depression, and overwhelm of daily life. We invite you to call on the plants for support as they lead us on a journey towards finding peace within the noise and coming back to center despite the swings of the pendulum. 1) Understand your Nervous System and How Herbs can Help with Emily Ruff 2) Simple Tools for Calming and Centering with Shannon Alycia 3) Aromatic Remedies in your Kitchen with Maggie OHalloran 4) Herbal Recipes to Relax and Restore with Maggie OHalloran 5)Creating your Daily Rhythm for Emotional Wellness with Emily Ruff PLUS a Materia Medica lesson covering an individual plant ally each lesson All classes will be recorded and available after class for review, with supplemental resources yours forever.
