Estuary Clinic, Yoga Studio, 19 Fore St, Topsham, EX3 0HE
Step into Spring and immerse yourself in the beautiful synergy of sound and plant medicine frequencies. The sounds have been carefully curated to work with the plants and are designed to rejuvenate, detox and cleanse your body and soul at a cellular level.
Plant Medicine: Exploring the traditional practice of organoleptics, medical herbalist Yasmin Kerr will guide you through an interactive “blind” tea tasting. We will taste herbs anonymously, tasting each with stillness and intention. We will question where each herb travels to in our bodies, what memories it awakens, and more. Once having tasted each herb and written down our individual thoughts, we will then open up the floor to a group discussion. Yasmin will then reveal the herb in question and discuss its historic and modern uses in Western Herbal Medicine. From this activity, we will develop a deeper relationship and understanding with the plants and our bodies.
Sound Medicine: After an hour of tea tasting and exploration, enjoy being immersed in the therapeutic resonance of a rejuvenating Soundbath from qualified teacher and sound therapist Harie.
