Cultivating Resilience

If you often feel overwhelmed, burned out, or constantly on edge, this class may be for you. In this lecture-style class, we will discuss how chronic & acute stress affects our emotional, physical, and mental well-being. We will go over ways of helping manage stress, as well as common nutrients & herbal allies to add to our toolkits for cultivating resilience. Participants will leave with handouts & create a custom flower essence formula together.
