The Wisdom & Wonder of Weeds

←Back to courses

This course helps us explore some of Nature's gifts. A few of the ones we have been guided to ignore or remove, the ones that when we listen offer so much wisdom and healing. We will explore Nettle, Dandelion, Cleavers and Plantain, four 'weeds' that grow all around us whispering their teachings until we are ready to hear them.
