If you’ve ever sipped on peppermint tea for an upset tummy, rubbed soothing aloe on a painful burn, or taken a custom herbal formula, then you’re aware of the abundant gifts that plants provide us humans. But why do plants possess these gifts to offer in the first place?
In this class, we’ll explore the wisdom behind plants’ many protective mechanisms and their ingenious strategies for surviving and thriving. We’ll ponder the science and magic of how humans have co-evolved with plants, and how our resilience is wrapped up in theirs.
Living in northern Vermont, Emma spends much of her time among the forest ecosystems of the Green Mountains. With previous areas of study including Environmental Studies and Integrative Healthcare, she has always known that her dream life path would include working with people and the natural world – and herbalism combines them beautifully. Her experiences as an outdoor educator/guide, ski patroller, herb farmer, and arborist align to provide an integrated understanding of – and curiosity about – human physiology, plant biology and magic, and the ways in which human and nonhuman species can work together to create healing of all kinds.
