Post-HerbFest Masterclassses 〰️
HerbFest Masterclasses are our chance to dive deeper with an interstate speaker. This year, Taj Scicluna from Botanical Education taught two sessions!
Morning (9am - 12): A Herbal Perspective: ADHD & Herbs for Cognition
With the increasing prevalence and proper diagnosis of neurodivergence, the need for herbal and lifestyle support is at an all-time high.
Here we will explore herbs for focus and cognition, as well as gut restoration and nervous system support, which may benefit more than the neurodivergent.
Afternoon 1 -4pm: The Herbal Apprentice Essentials
Herbalism isn’t meant to be memorised; it’s meant to be experienced, sensed, and understood in relationship.
In this workshop, we move beyond rote learning into a deeper way of knowing plants: through the senses, through patterns, and through practical tools that help you understand when and how to use herbs, not just what they do.
Book in for 1 session or come for the whole day.
Monday June 15 | Valdora Hall
