Spirit of the Herbs: Student Early Bird Pricing

SPIRIT OF THE HERBS

April 3 & 4 2021

      This class will entail a deep dive into the inner nature of Chinese herbal formulas. It will

change the way you think about herbs and herb formulas as we consider the faces of their gross, subtle, and spirit level functioning. Herb formulas will be discussed as archetypes that embrace the full realm of human expression. We will consider how early trauma can impact the healthy consolidation of later developmental stages. 

      We will consider the diaphragm as the demarcation between consciousness and unconscious and the importance of opening it early in treatment in order to create a stable foundation for health. 

     We will reconstruct the Sheng cycle looking at herbs and herb formulas from the perspective of "element in element" to construct a subtly based Five-element, constitutional herbalism. Pulse patterns, tongue, and psychophysiology will be considered for each formula. Acupuncture point equivalents will be considered for many of the formulas.
