Classes — Dayelight

The intention

Herbal Knowledge from the Body

We have an innate intuition as to understanding how plants function in the body. My goal is to foster this intuition so that you can know the plants yourself rather than be told "what they do".

Classes blend working with our intuitive capacity to feel how the body responds to plants

with traditional knowledge of how plants function and interact with our organ systems.

Classes are offered as both small group in person workshops and online immersions

Classes are offered in small groups in Northwest Washington, and are shaped by what is growing at the time. Some are indoors around a table of jars and oils; some are outside, moving slowly through a meadow.

What is offered

Workshops & Immersions

Each of these can be run as a standalone class, a private group session, or a series.

Herbal Medicine Making

Tinctures, infused oils, salves and honeys — made start to finish. We cover ratios, alcohol percentages, maceration times, straining and storage, and you leave with medicine you made yourself.

Working with herbs to constitutionally balance your formulas and help the plants get driven to the organ system needing the support.
