Saturday, August 26th
from 2pm - 3:30pm
at The Center SF.
Get Your Spot!
In our modern world most of us are overstimulated, overworked and really burnt out. In addition to making space for rest, and healing there are many incredible herbal remedies and specific plants which can help support your wellness and journey back to balance.
We’ll talk about simple remedies in the form of teas, oils, tinctures and steams that you can make at home, and take both as needed or ongoing to support adrenal health, fatigue, burnout and more. Some of the plants that we’ll discuss include familiar ones for many of us like Chamomile, Lavender and Rose, but we will also dive into the benefits of some additional herbs that are incredible like Milky Oats and Oatstraw, Nettles, Linden, Lemon Balm, Tulsi (Holy Basil), Skullcap, Eleuthro, St.John’s Wort and more!
As part of class you’ll receive some recipes to try out, and get to sample a few infused overnight tea blends, and herbal body oils, plus tinctures that are filled with a powerhouse blend of herbs for energy, vitality and deep nourishment. This class is open to those who are curious, and those who want to deepen in their awareness of working with what I call our “green allies.”

These regular herbal classes with Crystal Marie Higgins at The Center SF will each be fun and interactive ways to learn more about the power of what is called “kitchen herbalism” - wonderful herbs that you can experiment with in the kitchen (and their properties for your health) and in future classes we’ll talk about even more wellness remedies and urban foraging!
NOTE : Herbalism doesn’t have to be put in the place of either or - working with plants can support anything else you are doing to support your system and overall health. All of our ancestors at some point had a deep connection to the land, to the herbs and plants or green realm, to the animals and waters in order to survive. This connection to our roots and deeper belonging was severed, and it is time to reclaim the wisdom we all long for again.
