In Spring, energy flows instead of being stored and vitality increases. Growth is accelerated. Serotonin levels increase.
It gets warmer as the light returns and spring cleaning becomes a dominant energy dynamic.
As spring advances it is good to eat the local fresh fruits, vegetables, and learn to use the local herbs that come into season. Fresh spring herbs – a traditional spring practice- are nourishing, cleansing, and building in the body.

How Much Do I Take of This Herb, Anyhow?

Location: The Earth Path School at
The Creative Transformational Living Center, Nelson County, VA
Tuition Fee: Sliding scale $90-$25

What do I take? How much to I take? And how long do I take it? Doses are the most misunderstood and misused part of herbal medicine. Herbs have become mainstream but they are now being thought of in the same way people think about drugs. If you have a headache take 2 droppers of “some herb” and in 20 minutes, the headache is supposed to be gone. But alas – herbs – for the most part- don’t work that way. In this class, we will dive deeper into the art of dosing and offer a system for making wise and effective dose decisions.
