with Krista Noelle
Wednesday, August 14
7:00-9:30 p.m.
$20 in advance
$25 after August 11
Learn the language of plants and how they speak to your body through the five senses in this experiential workshop.
Herbal medicine has always been the people's medicine, and it still is in much of the world. In this fun class, Krista will empower you with basic understanding and skills of how our bodies relate and react to plants. She will focus on the 5 flavors (bitter, sour, salty, sweet & umami) and how they relate to the healing properties of medicinal herbs, so that you can begin to accurately choose the best herbs for you. We'll then blend knowledge with experience through a taste test of several herbs. You'll end the workshop creating your own custom herbal tea blend.
Krista Noelle has been an herbalist for over 10 years, working with clients and teaching beginner classes. She has also taught herbal medicine philosophy, safety and medicine-making classes for five years at the Maryland University of Integrative Health and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy Health & Sciences.

The Psychology of Admiration
with Todd Fink
Sunday, August 25
12:30-2:00 p.m.
$25 per person
Admiration is a profound human psychological state and like a prism, refracts the light of conscious attention into a spectrum of evocative experiences. Within this metaphorical range, there is the capacity for awe, inspiration and positive transformation - the "colors" of admiration's uplifting influence. Beyond admiration's edges lies the cautionary areas where fixation can spill into the harmful rays of envy, insecurity, or excessive fandom. This workshop explores the art of admiring and highlights cognitive tools for curating technology and protecting mental health in the digital age.
Todd is a certified addiction counselor and mindfulness meditation teacher with 25 years of clinical mental health work. He is also the host of the Kind Mind podcast, globally a top show in the categories of Philosophy and Alternative Health. His 2020 TEDx Talk "Beauty is in the Brain of the Beholder" and other inspiring recordings have garnered millions of streams. He is co-founder of The Giving Tree Band and has had a Top 40 album on the Americana Radio Charts. He is currently a graduate candidate at Columbia University in advanced clinical social work.
