Event description

Achoo! It's that time of year--cold and flu season. In this class, we will discuss viral illnesses common to the winter months and how we can use herbal medicines to support our bodies through this tough time of year. Join us in sampling and discussing several herbal allies, plant concoctions & herbal applications for use with the common cold, the flu, COVID and other viral infections. Emphasis will be placed on a holistic approach to health and respiratory system support. Participants will leave with practical information that they can use for themselves, their family and loved ones in the cold weeks to come.

Chef Cass will be cooking up a vegan Lemony Red Lentil soup for dinner. Served with a side of pita.

The Annex can be found to the left of the building, along the charming alleyway adorned with black benches.
