"Smoking, Essences & the Subtle World of Wild Herbs" - Wild Herb Basic Course with Michaela Hörl

The wild herb basic courses with Michaela Hörl offer a comprehensive insight into the local plant world from spring to autumn, depending on the module. The focus includes safely identifying plants to exclude unfamiliar look-alikes. With plenty of practical experience, participants will also collect and process wild herbs on-site. All modules can also be booked individually.

In the module "Smudging, Essences & the Subtle World of Wild Herbs," the focus is on the subtle effects of wild herbs, trees, and shrubs. The course explains how to make flower essences according to Dr. Bach or create your own essences. The plants are presented in their energetic, subtle effects to gain a holistic understanding of them. During a plant encounter (outdoor session), participants can gain personal insights through self-experience. Additionally, a comprehensive introduction to smudging with local plants is provided, along with tips for smudging with charcoal or for gentler fragrant smudging. Each participant will also create an aura/room spray to take home. In the afternoon, the autumn plants will be introduced during a herbal walk.
