Drawing on Missy's background as a street medic and clinical herbalist, this workshop will provide concrete skills for handling medical emergencies and basic information about select healing plants. We'll be weaving lecture time, practice scenarios, and plant walks into the day. Frequent hikers, community herbalists, and anyone who wants to be helpful in emergency medical situations will find this class useful. No previous experience necessary.
Missy Rohs is a community herbalist, kitchen witch, and forest lover. She co-founder and instructor at the Arctos School of Herbal & Botanical Studies (http://arctosschool.org). Her path to herbal teaching has taken her from grassroots organizing through the world of being a street medic to providing care in free clinics from Nicaragua to Portland. A life-long lover of weeds as well as community empowerment, Missy reaches for remedies close to home that nourish the body, the ecology, and the community.
