FREE CLASS: Developing Herbal Knowledge through Your Senses

Join herbalists Erika Galentin & Brooke Sackenheim of Sovereignty Herbs, for this FREE class about how we can use our senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing to develop our herbal knowledge and why students of herbalism should feel empowered by their direct experiences with herbs rather than doubtful of them. Drawing on concepts from phenomenology and Goethean Science, Erika and Brooke will be guiding students on how to move past rote memorization of facts and build direct relationships with the plants themselves through sensorial observation and ‘living thinking’.

Brooke and Erika will also be sharing about the sensorial and experiential techniques taught in their upcoming herbal program, Herbal Sensorium - a program designed to uniquely support you on your journey to knowledge about medicinal plants.

Some of the topics covered in this webinar include:
• What are Phenomenology and Goethean Science and how are they relevant to learning about medicinal herbs.
• A few simple techniques for starting to hone your herbal senses.
• How you can apply what you perceive through your senses to building your knowledge about medicinal herbs.
• The importance of going beyond rote memorization when learning about herbs.
• What is Herbal Sensorium and the time commitment for this program.
