Herbalism Classes with Misha

Florida’s Fabulous Healing Herbs

A monthly indoor gathering to help you learn how to work with the herbs in your own backyard!

Each month Registered Herbalist Misha will profile 2 to 4 biogregional herbs, plants that happily grow here in beautiful Southwest Florida, that can be found right here in your own backyard!

You will meet each plant, connecting with it and discovering its secrets. Participants will learn how to identify the plant in the wild, one of nature guide Misha’s special super powers is teaching plant ID, so she will help you feel confident to be able to find the plants later on your own too. Misha will share each plants’ medicinal and edible properties as well, helping you to learn how to work with them.

During this class you will:
* Get to meet the plants in person, either via a collected specimen or stepping right outside into the wild to see the plants growing at Cypress.
* Sample the plants using your 5 senses, allowing for even deeper connection to each featured species
* Create a herbal monograph for each plant to help you build your personal material medica
* Craft a unique herbal make-and-take - your admission includes materials to make one herbal formula using the plants we cover in class (and you will get the recipe too!)

Our focus will be on bioregional beauties - plants that are naturally at home here in our Sunshine state (which means you can grow them!). Learn their actions, properties, and how each plant can help you support your friends and families health.

Class is in person only. $45 class fee includes 2 hour workshop, handouts and all materials to make the monthly herbal make and take

Florida’s Fabulous Healing Herbs Club Monthly Schedule

February 9, 2025: Coughs & Colds / 2 - 4 pm

Our February focus is plants that help with Coughs & Colds! We are right in the middle of winter here in our home state - and across the US - and as the weather turns colder we move less, and are far more likely to pick up the ick. Come meet the healing helping herbs in your own backyard that can help eradicate sickness, soothe sore throats, and stop a cough. Misha will teach you all about the plants including how to identify and find them, their properties and actions, and of course, we will make beautiful medicine with them too!
