It is with great excitement that we offer our 2008 programs.  At Sacred Plant Traditions, we design our classes to be suitable for all levels of participants, from the beginner to the accomplished professional desiring to deepen their knowledge and relationship with the plant world.

At Sacred Plant Traditions, our intention is to provide knowledge in sustainable foods and medicines. The one tradition that we have continued for millennia is the use of plants for nourishment as well as healing. We honor, celebrate and integrate those traditions into our lifestyles of today. We hold true the beauty of the earth-centered practices that acknowledge the energy and meaning of each of the seasons. And finally we promote healthy community as a key to the enrichment, balance and nourishment of our lives.

This year we are offering a new venue for the Nine Month Foundations Program. Beginning this March, Kathleen will offer her weekend format of Foundations. For those that still wish to study one day a week, we will begin that program in September.

Kathleen is now joined by a wonderful staff in offering her advanced training in Clinic I and II. Acupuncturist Robert Clickner and nurse practitioner Mary Michaud provide in-depth training for western herbalists of their respective arts.

Phyllis Light will be back this year with two weekends of her incredible teachings in Southern Appalachian Folk Medicine. We were in awe of the breadth and depth of her teachings and stories and are excited to learn from her again.

Our Second Annual Gaia Gathering for Women will be an event not to be missed. Last year’s great success inspired us to deepen this tradition of local women teaching, gathering and celebrating the gifts and beauty of Gaia. Now more than ever, it is time to learn about our local resources to strengthen our communities. It is time to honor the work that has been accomplished by women that have gone before as well as the work that lay ahead.

You may also hear Kathleen teaching at the following conferences this year; June 28 – 29, Sage Mountain Retreat Center, Advanced Herbal Program, August 23- 25, Northeast Women’s Conference, September 19- 21, Green Nations Gathering and Oct 3 – 5, Southeast Women’s Conference.

May the magic of the Green World invite you for a day, a month or a lifetime.
