HERBALISM - WHERE ART MEETS SCIENCE
Sip. Breathe. Listen.
Service Description
For thousands of years, plants have been understood in two ways: Through the felt experience in the body, and later through the measured knowledge of science. In this monthly immersive workshop series starting in September - we bring these perspectives together. About the Workshop: Herbalism is the meeting place of art and science — where evidence meets intuition, and plants reveal their stories in more than one language. In each session, you’ll meet one herb deeply, exploring its flavour, feel, and physiological effects. Session Dates, Times & Herbs: 17/09/25 - Elder, 5:30-7:30PM 15/10/25 - Dandelion, 5:30-7:30PM 12/11/25 - Mistletoe, 5:30-7:30PM Facilitators: Sue Marcantonio-Edwards — Shamanic practitioner, guiding the energetic and somatic exploration. Abi Jackson — Medical Herbalist with a scientific background, sharing the plant’s actions, traditions, current applications and modern research. You Will: _Experience the herb through guided tasting and body awareness. _Learn to “listen” to plants beyond the intellect and get creative. _Discover its scientific properties, traditional uses, and modern practical applications. This is herbalism that engages both sides of knowing — the intuitive and the analytical — so you leave not just informed, but connected.

Cancellation Policy
A word to the wise: To get the most out of your workshop we recommend that you arrive a few minutes before the scheduled start time. Please make sure that you have completed the workshop booking form - this is due to the fact that many of our workshops involve trying herbs and we therefore need to check any contraindications and ensure we do this safely. All information you supply is confidential. If there is any issue we will contact you and if deemed inappropriate we will issue you a refund (provided we have your submission prior to the cancellation window). This means you can MAX out on your workshop time rather than admin and formalities. Plus, who likes to rush anyway? Need to change your workshop? No problem! We understand that you may need to cancel from time to time, and that’s all good by us as we know hiccups occur and life can get in the way of the best laid plans. But we do kindly ask that you give use 48 hours notice so we’re not left twiddling our opposable thumbs, otherwise a 100% cancellation fee may apply. Please email hello@thesageapothecary.com to do so
