Testimonials:

"I was so surprised to be in such a deep inner state because it seemed so Imaginary, but when I came through to this plane I realized, WOW I really JOURNEYED to another Plane!" ~ Student

"We just immediately started dancing - whirling and dancing. I felt my forehead kind of being angry and I felt like we were dancing out that anger and spinning clockwise, spinning away my anger. And then after that, my heart was lifted up." ~ Student

Palmistry Course

Dates: All Sundays: January 19th, 26th, February 2nd, & 16th, 2025
Time: 1-4:30pm
Instructor: Linda Patterson, Clinical Herbalist, Palmistry Instructor
Fee: $325 plus $25 Material fee for a total fee of $350
Location: Hingham, MA, 02043

Join Linda as she instructs you on how to utilize palmistry as a tool for analytics! Once used as a diagnostic tool for physicians, the palms and hands give us insight into physical health and emotional well-being. Learning to decipher the differences between the hands and what they reveal to us allows us to decipher a plethora of things. Determine the strengths, weaknesses, & potential blockages within an individual through their hands! Due to the fact that hands can change it is a great way to get a current reflection on who we are now and the stresses we are under. This course will offer all the necessary information to interpret the meanings of the hands, palms, and lines.

Tea Making for Donation Workshop

Date: Jan 25, 2025
Time: 1pm-4pm
Instructor: Tommy Priester
Location: First Parish Church, 14 Bedford Rd in Lincoln

During this opportunity attendees spend time with other herbalists learning about the properties of each herb, how these herbs work together, and what makes a successful tea. All the while knowing that they were helping those who may not have access to these beneficial herbs. No prior experience is necessary, just a desire to learn more about tea formulation and to give back in a way only herbalists can!

This class is under the guidance of herbalist Tommy Priester and focused on common challenges such as insomnia, stress, and pain.

Join Paul for some fungal fun! In this workshop you will be inoculating oak logs with shiitake spawn, waxing them and giving the mycelium time to colonize the wood to produce healthy and happy shiitake mushrooms the following summer. You will go home with the log you inoculate, find the perfect spot to place your log while the mushrooms get ready to fruit, and then harvest shiitake mushrooms two or three times a year for three or more years. There will be step by step hands on instructions to create these mushroom logs, and demonstrations of how to inoculate other types of mushrooms into wood will also be given.
