A Day in the Garden with Amanda McQuade Crawford

Monday August 25
10 am to 4pm (lunch included)
$125

What Herb Books Don't Say

The power of plants to call our deep healing potential to the surface is a gift. Spend the day deepening your connection to the medicinal herbs you know. How the chemistry works with physiology is fun to learn, like learning the back story of your new friend's first home. But the mystery between any two friends, including our connection to our green allies is rooted below the surface of matter and molecules. Join me for a happy mix of focused meditation and the newest research on healing herbs.

In the second part of our day, studying the people we serve brings case] studies and your herb knowledge to life.

I look forward to learning with you how to relax into Earth's gift.

*Amanda McQuade Crawford* is an herbalist encouraged by recent success foraging for signs of life in Los Angeles, California. She is seen regularly on *What A Relief*, a show on herbs for Veria, a holistic cable television network. Previously she was in private practice for many years in Beverly Hills, and Ojai, California, where she grew, gathered, and made most of her plant medicines surrounded by orange groves, oaks and avocados. Amanda studies healing around the world, learning from plants and curanderas, as well as from physicians at home and abroad. She learned about medicinal herbs in British classrooms, the rain forest of the Amazon, in Rio de Janeiro, through Asia from Beijing to the Mekong River, in Europe, Australia, Russia, Mexico, and every state in the U.S. She was appointed the Senior Clinical Tutor at Canterbury College in Christchurch, New Zealand, where she spent 2005 integrating their curriculum, new research and clinical practice. She earned her degree in Phytotherapy (Herbal Medicine) from Britain's College of Phytotherapy (*Phyto*, Greek for "plant"), and a BA in Medieval History from Vassar College. She teaches in hospitals, medical schools, and in open meadows.

The author of two popular books on women's health, *The Herbal Menopause Book* and *Herbal Remedies for Women*, she contributed to two recent books on natural medicine, *The New Menopause Book*, edited by Taliaferri et al, and the text, *Traditional Medicines for Modern Times: Antidiabetic Plants*, edited by Amala Soumyanath, CRC Press. Her most recent adventure has been caring for family elders while hunting urban weeds and growing an organic garden in the wilds of Los Angeles, California.

I am thinking the Amanda Crawford class is from years past, as Aug 25 is a tue?
