Aug. 1—Looking for homeostasis? Go to Fox Haven to speak about herbs that help the endocrine system. Tour the backyard, take pleasure in a tea tasting with Fox Haven employees, and study concerning the vegetation which might be ripe for harvest. From the ferny plant that made Absinthe to the foundation that made the primary marshmallow to the flower that stops bleeding, tour the tales and senses that fill the backyard. Contributors are welcome to pack a picnic to take pleasure in on the land earlier than or after class.
This class can be led by Ashley Hoffman, who was born and raised in Frederick County and brings her ardour for this land to her work. She is an herbalist who advocates for accessibility in healthcare and herbalism. Via her courses and backyard excursions, she hopes to encourage college students and guests of Fox Haven to create constructive relationships with their very own well being, the Earth and each other. Hoffman can be an artist centered in pictures and combined media. Inside her private work, she creates a dialogue for vital social and environmental points.
