at the Woodland Essence Teaching Center in Cold Brook, NY ( 2 hours northwest of Albany in the Adirondack Park) Course Overview:
This year we are designing the course especially for herbalists and practitioners of other healing modalities. The program contains both flower essence and herbal interventions for various illnesses, along with the basic flower essence training.
The course is presented with didactic information along with direct contact with the plants in the gardens and woodlands. Kate enjoys weaving herbal lore and experience with the flower research and information.
David presents a system based on the model of chakras, childhood psychology and the personality which is fascinating and has helped others understand how to work more effectively with clients. There will also be hands-on practice, and a specific Lyme training that David shares.
Don will be sharing and inviting all into the richness and soul-quieting essence of the woodlands, along with introducing our evolving work with the wild orchids of the Adirondacks and northeast.
There is a sweet flow of ideas, experience, plants, trees, peace and visioning that happens in this training....and it is a little different each time we present together...always fun to have a bit of mystery.

The Spirit and Medicine of the Northeast Woodlands with Don Babineau & Kate Gilday October 1-2, 2011 at Misty Mountain Herb Center in Lee, NH
The woodlands of the Northeast are home to many species of plants, animals and environments that quietly hold the resonance of the past and hopeful future of wilderness. For thousands of years our ancestors lived among the trees and depended upon the forest for their very survival. Throughout this experiential weekend, we will be introducing some of the medicinal herbs, mushrooms and trees native to the local woodlands. Pollen and flower, fruit and nut, bark and root each have a rich history of use by the people of this land. Come learn and practice how to carefully gather, prepare and use these woodland gifts. Find how to “read” this forest landscape, its patterns and history, and ponder the animal medicine it holds. Through stories, song, photos and walks in the woods at Misty Mountain, we will open to the Spirit of the Forest, experiencing a richness that enlivens our senses, opens our hearts and stirs the memories of our place in nature. We have only to return to the woods to re-member our connection to nature and answer our heart’s longing for the wild. Please contact: www.mistymeadows.org
