Beyond Chamomile: Herbs for Stress, Anxiety & Sleep

workshops

Lancaster, OH

Saturday, April 28, 2018
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Open/Close

There are so many gentle and powerful herbs that can bring balance to the nervous system and help calm the mind when we experience anxiety or have trouble falling asleep. In this class, Anika Zala of Wild Origins will discuss and sample herbal remedies that can be used to manage anxiety, stress and insomnia. At the end of the class you can make relaxing herbal tea blends to use at home.

Aniko is an herbalist whose interests lie in the intersection between nature, self-empowerment and self-care. Her workshops help others use herbs to bring bodies and minds into balance and her handmade offerings are alternatives to the chemicals of mainstream products.

9am-5pm

Open/Close

This 2-day intensive seminar with Australian microbiologist and climate scientist Walter Jehne and permaculture expert Peter Bane will bring the group together in a deep exploration and discussion of how individuals can meet many of the most important goals with soil biology–by restoring the living, intelligent, water-holding, cooling, soil carbon sponge that used to cover most of the land around us. Walter Jehne–founder of Healthy Soils Australia, and one of the early researchers on glomalin, myccorhizal fungi, and root ecology– will be the main presenter each day. He'll be joined by Peter Bane, President of the Permaculture Institute of North America.
