Fire Cider and Herbal Remedies
Join us for a hands-on, heart-centered dive into the world of the ancient folk medicine, Fire Cider, and immune-supporting herbal remedies. In this class, we’ll explore the rich history and healing potential of kitchen herbalism, and uncover natural ways to support your immune system. Each participant will leave with 1 quart jar of fire cider, several tea and herbal supplements, and the skills to protect their mind and body this cold and flu season.
Itinerary:
Morning: We’ll begin with the history and an explanation of Fire Cider – it’s uses, variations and each herbs benefits. We’ll also discuss the legal battle that kept Fire Cider in the hands of the community. We’ll have a Fire Cider tasting, and the chance to make a Fire Cider fit to your personal constitution.
Break for lunch
Afternoon: After lunch, we’ll have a tea meditation (with your choice of immune-supporting herb), cover an overview of immune and respiratory systems and the herbs that support them. Finally, we’ll make our own tea and herbal remedies for Immune Support, Wet Respiratory Conditions, and Dry Respiratory Conditions. We’ll close with an overview, and time to close and reflect!
Meet Your Instructor:
Molly Moore
Molly’s relationship with herbs sprouted from her own personal health journey that began in her youth. As she navigated her treatment from the western medical perspective, she sensed her body was seeking another way – through the loving abundance of Mother Earth. Over the years, she was able to find healing and balance with the help of herbs, food, yoga and other therapeutic means, not to mention connection with nature. As a community herbalist, farmer, yoga instructor, and gluten free & vegan chef/baker, she is passionate about facilitating relationships with the land, plants, and all living beings. Her approach is focused on nourishing and healing of mind, body and spirit.
Natural Remedies: In a world where we’re constantly seeking quick fixes, it’s no surprise that we reach for pain killers, or cold and flu medicines without a second thought. And while modern medicines are a powerful tool in tending to ailments, there is great value in understanding that natural remedies that we have access to. The practice of herbalism encourages humans to look beyond the quick fixes, and become attuned to the properties of plants and foods growing all around us. Knowledge about the medicinal properties of plants has been lost generationally; and yet, we might find that working on our health may not always require a trip to the pharmacy!
Green Door classes are immersive and intentionally long. We find that over prolonged time together, students form deeper bonds with each other, the craft, and their instructor for an overall more impactful experience. Even if you are a Traverse City local, the intention is that these classes feel a bit like a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you are visiting from afar, the experience can be even deeper.
