Kathleen Maier, RH (AHG)

Please join the Georgia chapter of the American Herbalists Guild for a weekend with Kathleen Maier The Practice of Western Energetic Herbalism
There is an exciting movement afoot in American herbalism... Western Energetics. To observe patterns of disease we need to observe patterns in nature rst to grasp harmonies and disharmonies. Winds that dry, waters that swell, heat that rises, cold that depresses are all vital expressions of nature that play out in our organs, joints, muscles, thoughts and spirit. This is the practice of traditional folk herbalism where nature is observed and the inherent self-regulating systems of the body are acknowledged and supported. This is the heart of plant medicine really - there is so much we can o er when we know if our client hot or cold, damp or dry, tense or too relaxed (yes that is a pathology!!!) This engaging class will cover basics of this system. Topics included are: Vitalism Vital Energy Tissue states Constitutional Perspectives Corresponding plant medicines Clinical applications and more
