Reclaiming Your Roots: Plant Medicine for the People!

A 5-class series designed to help empower you to reclaim your own healing through exploring medicinal plants as preventative medicine.  These classes will focus mostly on nourishing tonic or “food” herbs that you can use on a daily basis to feed, strengthen, and revitalize your body.  We’ll learn with all of our senses, through handouts, plant meditations, recipes, tea tasting, and more!  Classes will be held at the following Knoxville public parks.  Choose whichever location or day of the week works best for you.
