As Herbalists we have long discussed lifestyle as part of the holistic herbal protocol (nutrition, exercise, spiritual practice and even home environment) but we've not yet addressed creativity. The need for a creative practice has been missing from this discussion. During this class we will explore all the ways in which a creative arts practice promotes wellbeing on physical, mental and spiritual health. In addition to a basic creative practice working with plants in an art practice is another way in which one can deepen ones understanding of and partnership with plants and the natural world which ultimately leads to a more rooted sense of place and a deep inner understanding of interconnectedness.
