We will discuss the primary atoms that make up plant molecules, and some common forms that they take. You will get to see, smell, and taste different preparations of the same herbs to learn the flavors and mouthfeel of specific molecules, and to learn which preparations extract which constituents.Bring your favorite mug and a pen and come join me where experiential and scientific knowledge meet!&gt;&gt;&gt;Ticket InfoSliding Scale Guide ($20–$40):<ul><li>$40 (Top of the Scale): You can comfortably meet your basic needs, have steady income, and may have expendable funds for savings, travel, or non-essentials.
