[Sean Donahue]

Just a quick head-up about two events we have coming up in Beverly, MA on April 27 and in Putney, VT on May 2:

Tuesday, April 27 -- The Healing Power of Herbs, at The Healing Center, 234 Cabot Street Ste 2, Beverly, MA at 7:00 p.m.

Have you ever wondered about the healing powers of the plants in your garden, your spice cabinet, and your back yard? Are you drawn to plant medicine and plant magic? Are you wondering whether an herbalist could help you restore balance and vitality to your body, mind, and spirit? Or are you just curious about what an herbalist does?

Here is your chance to find answers to these questions and more! Join Sean Donahue and Darcey Blue French for an informal discussion about the history, philosophy, and practice of herbalism and discover a form of natural healing as old as life on Earth.

NOTE: While Darcey and Sean are glad to briefly discuss your individual needs and situations to determine whether they might be able to help you, this is not a clinic. They will, however, be making appointments for individual consultations at the Healing Center in Beverly for May. Darcey and Sean do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions -- they work to find herbal and nutritional solutions to support your body's own healing processes.

Sunday, May 2 -- The First Annual Southern VT Wild Foods Festival on the Green across from the Putney Food Co-Op in Putney, VT from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Sean and Darcey will be offering workshops including:

The Magic and Medicine of Hawthorn:   Beltane, the Celtic fire and fertility festival, was traditionally celebrated when the Hawthorn bloomed.  Learn about the medicine, magic, and folklore of this amazing plant.

Flower Power! --  Learn how to use some common flowers for food and medicine!

Invigorating Spring Tonics --  The first plants to come up in the spring were traditionally used to help jumpstart the body's metabolism and "clean the blood" after a winter of heavy foods and long, dark nights.  Learn about the natural medicines the Earth offers to help us get a new start each spring.

And we will  be offering a medicinal plant walk and selling some of our own wildcrafted and organically grown herbal medicines.

The festival also includes bluegrass, punkabilly, roots, and folk music, some great workshops on gathering and preparing wild foods, and of course lots of wonderful things to eat!

"Sometimes there's nothing left to do but make love to the fear." -- Astrid Mannrique, ASFAADES (Association of the Families of the Disappeared), Popayan, Colombia

"If we eat the wild, it begins to work inside us, altering us, changing us. Soon, if we eat too much, we will no longer fit the suit that has been made for us. Our hair will begin to grow long and ragged. Our gait and how we hold our body will change. A wild light begins to gleam in our eyes. Our words start to sound strange, nonlinear, emotional. Unpractical. Poetic. Once we have tasted this wildness, we begin to hunger for a food long denied us, and the more we eat the more we will awaken." -- Stephen Harrod Buhner The Secret Teachings of Plants
