The Magic of Herbs: Herbs have a long tradition of use for healing the body, as well as the mind and spirit.  In this hour and a half herb walk, we will talk about how the herbs found growing at Well-Sweep (and in your garden, woods and fields) can prevent and treat common ailments, as well as promote emotional wellbeing and spiritual growth.  We will discuss herbs that can enhance dreaming, protect against negative influences, calm the mind  and end with a traditional story of how medicine came into the world.
