Global Ethnobotany Class with Kathleen Harrison

We will look at how human cultures throughout history have understood, managed and employed nature for the benefit of people too. How and where do these methods continue to live now? What might be remembered or reintroduced to help balance? With respect for indigenous knowledge, and all ancestral ways, we consult the long history of global plant lore for insights into how to help balance the future.
Topics include herbalism, the deep history of food plants, from foraging to early agriculture, TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge), nature mythology, visionary species and shamanic traditions, and ways to experience the world through an alive, nature-based worldview. We will walk in the Garden, and observe examples and the ethnobotany principles that living plants display.
Ticket price is for all sessions of this four-part class(the first Friday of the month every month); classes can not be registered for individually
