Toronto Personal Growth is a community of like minded individuals who are choosing intentional psychological and spiritual growth. We don't dwell on problems. We're focused on solutions. We know that the world 'out there' is a reflection of what's going on 'in here'. And when there's a subtle change 'in here', amazing changes start to happen 'out there'. Together, we're helping each other grow in the most important areas of our lives. We attend a wide variety of classes, workshops and events to explore all aspects of Personal Growth, Holistic Health and Spirituality.

About This Workshop:

It seems ironic that many modern medications and treatments are actually causing more damage than the conditions they were originally designed to treat. Many people are starting to realize that some of our oldest herbal remedies were actually some of the most effective treatments for many common conditions. Herbal medicine is one of the most developed systems of healing, with long histories in many cultures. We have been using plants to heal ourselves for thousands of years with great efficacy. Sadly though, there seems to be a great disconnect between the healing power of plants and modern day society, partially due to the pharmaceutical industry blurring our vision.

Join us for an introductory Wild Medicinal Plant Walk on Sunday August 28, led by Medical Herbalist, Talal Al-Hamad. In this interactive workshop, you'll learn:

- How to identify wild medicinal plants commonly found in our local wooded areas.

- How to safely and responsibly harvest them during peak potency.

- How these plants can be used medicinally.

- The different ways herbal remedies can be administered.

- There will be plenty of time for questions, so make sure to bring some along!

- Please note it is not permitted to remove plants from City of Toronto property.

We'll be walking along the Beltline Trail and ending our walk at the Evergreen Brickworks. You'll be able to check out their Farmer's Market till 3pm.

Cost: $20.00
