Kodiak Herbal

Zoe Lynne has some guru-level herbal skills and she's running 4(!) classes this month! You can get in on any one of 'em, but hurry because they are selling out quick. Highly recommended herbalist.

3 Spots left in the Sunday Medicine Bag circle. Come for a hot cup of tea, some teachings and community spirit while we learn about the use of personal medicine bags.

New Sunday workshop is open. If you cann't make it next Saturday please join us on Remembrance Day, 1-3pm for tea and medicine bags.

When you make a medicine bag, you make a commitment to Spirit and to yourself, to live in a good way. A medicine bag is a symbol of your personal medicine to heal you, help you grow, help you love and provide protection.
Come spend an afternoon in our peaceful circle, smudge and ask for guidance in creating a bag just for you. Tea, smudge and all materials are provided; please bring tobacco for the spirits.
**This is the Sunday overflow class - it will be the same material as... the Saturday workshop. You are welcome to come to both if you like!**
Cost: Free to smudge and pray; $25 to make a medicine bag. This covers the cost of materials and workshop space rental. Everyone is welcome to join us. We are wheelchair accessible.
Location: Bay G, 2410 2nd Ave SE Calgary (at Herbal Healing Inc) Click the ticket link for more information about this and other workshops.

Makin' a big Mess and a whole lotta Magic at Magic & Mugwort last weekend!

Elderberries are Exciting - they are the traditional and amazing Superfood of the Rocky Mountains! Elderberry was a choice medicine for early Canadians, Americans and Europeans, being widely antiviral & anti-inflammatory in nature. Elderberries can even be used for art, as they provide both blue and red pigment when properly prepared.
They are naturally low-sugar and provide berry flavor and coloring to many common foods and candies. Preservation of the medicinal values of th...e berry, and their high antioxidant value, are a key factor in creating a high-quality elderberry product. Using a traditional pioneer recipe, we will explore the vast medicine, art & food uses of the elderberry tree and make some tasty gourmet syrup to take home from fresh, locally grown elderberries. Don't miss out on this quirky, fun and informative workshop on a truly unique Canadian medicine.

Bears can be terrifying - you wouldn't want to meet one in the forest! Yet, the Bear is known also for its fuzzy, comforting role as baby's plush toy.
