Danielle Nelson & Jennifer Dailey
This team of herb experts is committed to offering fundamental nature remedies to our area.

Damage Control
Now that we have discussed the why of using herbs every day in some way, we structured this class to cover the plants that come to our aid when maintenance just isn’t enough, or the times when we need the “heavyweights” of the plant kingdom for colds, illness, imbalances and and other diseases that tear us down. The power of tinctures, Antibacterial salve, Strong herbs for short term use, and more! Class includes a booklet handout.

Seated Massage: Simple, Effective Relief
The beauty of learning how to give a seated massage is how easy it can be done and how effective it is to relieve stiff and hurting bodies–an armless chair, a pillow, and some basic training are all you need. Melinda Paul understands the impact our stressful world and physical labor can have on our general well being. Participants will practice basic massage techniques during the workshop and receive handouts to take home.

Saturday, Aug 17th 11:00-12:45 pm
Essential Medical Supplies
for the Home
I am Leslie Kelley-Hardee RN; wife, mother, and member of a rural community. I spend most of my free time hiking, backpacking, rafting, rock hunting, mushroom foraging, chasing waterfalls and hot springs. All of these things inspire me to continue researching and learning allopathic and naturopathic medicines to improve my life and the lives of others.
If you’re a homesteader or live in a rural community, you’ll want to be ready for any eventuality. In a remote location, the importance of self-reliance can’t be overemphasized; injuries and illness can happen at any time. Medical strategies abound for these mostly short term scenarios that are both reasonable and effective. I will walk you through medical necessities and interventions that every home should have in place in order to feel prepared and self-reliant.
Lauren Barnert-Hosie
Saturday, Aug 17th 1:30 – 3:30 pm
YOGA: FROM THE PERIPHERY TO THE CORE TO FIND HEALTH
Connecting to the deeper wisdom of the body
Lauren Barnert-Hosie, Iyengar Certified instructor, owner of Open Spaces Yoga Center in Lakeside, AZ, has been teaching yoga 30+ years. After a 3 year intensive course in Iyengar Yoga Therapeutics, she is now certified with the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
Lauren individualizes the poses for students so they can enter the poses in such a way that they benefit more deeply and evolve their practice. Lauren’s emphasis on awakening awareness in every aspect of the practice (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual), helps her students to become “self-directed” in their practice and life goals.
When we learn to practice from the inner awareness of the body and connect to the muscles, bones, soft tissues and energetic movements in the body, our practice evolves and we evolve to higher states of being. Learn to practice yoga-asanas (exercises) & pranayama (breath work) to develop all your body’s systems in a balanced manner. Learn through guided, supported practice with careful attention to the 5 yogic layers of the body, penetrating from the periphery to the core. No experience necessary. Poses will be modified for each individual’s attainment of the pose.
IF YOU HAVE – Please bring a yoga mat; blocks; blankets/quilts (that are firm & can be folded evenly).
