Herbcraft: Wild Irish Roots
March 5, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 6:30 pm on Thursday, repeating until March 26, 2020
Four Week Series- March 5, 12, 19, 26
Reclaim your heritage and discover the indigenous ways of your wild Irish roots through this four-week herbal immersion. Learn how to embrace herbs as a way to live a more connected, rooted life, based on traditions of Native European lineage. Each week we will focus on a different body system and learn ways to treat the dis-eases of that system using herbs, aromatherapy, flower essences and more. We will learn how to create tinctures, salves, infused herbal oils, tea blends, aromatherapy spritzers and anointing oils and you will take home your time-honored creations.
Tonja Reichley, Herbalist (Bsc, MBA), Ritualist and Author, has been teaching herbal classes rooted in Irish traditions, healing and spirituality for 18 years. She has lived part time on the west coast of Ireland for 13 years, continually learning from the land, the plants, the people and the Ancestors as well as from her teacher Gina McGarry, whom she studied with in a three-month immersion in 2001, in residence in Ireland and continues to learn from. Tonja graduated from the Rocky Mountain School of Botanical Medicine in 2000 and began her first herbal business, MoonDance Botanicals, in 2002. She opened a store-front in Denver Colorado in 2004, had a thriving herbal shop until selling it to long-time customers in 2016 to pursue her passion of teaching herbs and ritual full time.
Tonja has led sacred journeys to Ireland for 13 years including a two week Herb School over Summer Solstice and pilgrimages for Beltaine and Autumn Equinox. She teaches a year-long Mystery School which begins and ends at Samhain and includes initiation in Ireland. New in summer 2020, will be a two week Priestess School, in residence in Ireland.
