Anxiety and sleep are two of the most common things that people seek herbal support for. There are many herbs that can help, but this interactive class aims to help people identify which ones they may work best with.

In this class, you will take a deep dive into the world of herbs to support the nervous system through experiential tea tasting meditations. This is the best way to get to know a herb and see how it effects your body, mind, and spirit. 

You will learn:
How anxiety presents physiologically and where it could be coming from.


What nervines, hypnotic herbs, and calming adaptogens are and how some of them work.


The importance of learning the energetics of a herb to better know how it will interact with your own physiology and spirit.


Learn the methods of getting the most benefit from these herbs. 

Why one might be better as a tincture than a tea.

How one might benefit from taking them in acute situations, throughout the day, or just at night. 


How herbs can be combined with other calming tools for long-term resolution. 

Herbs can provide the strength to look at the source and make positive change, or get us through a particularly difficult period of time. 


During the class, you will get to experience a tea tasting which will be followed by the opportunity to discuss our experiences as a group, comparing what we shared and where we differentiated. This may help to highlight how different everyone is! I aim to make this a safe space for everyone to share, so come with open hearts and minds. 

Join this session live in-person or online. Everyone who is registered will receive details to join the class including a zoom link if you are attending online. A recording of the session plus any notes will be sent out to all registrants after the class.
