I had the very good fortune of taking a workshop with Isla Burgess at the International Herb Symposium nearly three years ago, and after only a couple of hours with her, I wished the world a mite smaller so that I might study with her in New Zealand. Now it is ALL of our good fortune that we have only to travel as far as Ashfield, MA for a weekend-long workshop with this amazing herbalist. You can read about the intensive workshop below and also visit the Blazing Star Herbal School website for more information: blazingstarherbalschool.typepad/. Dont miss this amazing opportunity! *******Plant Medicine for Changing Times The Dynamic Evolving of the Plant/Person Relationship********* This cutting edge learning opportunity bridges the gap between concerns for the well being of the wild and medicinal plants and our employ of them for medicinal and nutritive purposes. The last time Isla was in the United States, I was blown away by her work as we explored ‘Plant Immersion, Incubation and Inspiration’. This process has evolved and she is excited by the possibilities. We live in a rapidly changing world. So do the plants we use as food and medicine. Isla believes we grow with the plants that grow around us, they change and we change. This relationship may be more important in the future as the planet warms, local climates shift and we both face new challenges. Herbal Medicine has become the domain of Scientific Research, this herb for this condition, an isolated constituent for that one. Isla thinks it is time for a new way of connecting with the plants we share our world with, a new way of research that both respects them as a sentient life form capable of expressing themselves and that expression we can connect with if we give it time. The process that she uses is an evolving dynamic process, a different, yet valid way of collaboratively working. By immersing many people in this process we together have some insights into the plants wholeness. Join us for this cutting edge particapatory herbal immersion. Participants will be invited to be a part of this and if they wish to be a part of an ongoing global collaborative research process that will eventuate in new plant profiles that are not fixed in time but evolving.
