Gemmotherapy Tree Bud Medicine Workshop (for adults)
About the day
Come and connect to the quiet of the woods delving deeply into the energy of the imminent arrival of Spring. This workshop is an introduction to the powerful Gemmotherapy bud medicine made from this vital and potent emergence of life, as an expression of the energetic and physicality of the whole tree.
You will learn how to make Gemmotherapy remedies, which is essentially a form of herbal medicine made from the buds or shoots of young plants using extracts made from tree buds.
We will learn to identify trees from bark and bud, sing and connect deeply to the energetic signature of trees.
