In this weekly ongoing course, we will observe and discuss how nature is healing. Each week we will create a different healing remedy. The content does not build, however it is a complete semester course. We will start by discussing natural medicine in general, focusing on specific plants that are included in our healing remedy. We will observe the ingredients in detail & discuss their specific healing properties. Next, I will guide us through creating our healing remedy. After completing the project together, we will engage in a discussion in which each learner will have the option to share their experience with the group. This concluding activity promotes positive discussion, strengthening communication as well as critical thinking skills. This class is also available as a 1:1 private tutoring class.
