The Frequencies of Flora: An Introduction to the Energetics of Herbal Medicine with Dr. Patrick Mansfield

In person & online event!

In the PRS Lecture Room

To rise and fall. To scatter and consolidate. These are among the fundamental energetic movements that give herbs their potent influence on the human body, mind, and spirit.

Join Dr. Patrick Mansfield on an introductory exploration into the inherent energetic properties of plants and discover how to attune to their subtle frequencies to cultivate balance within yourself.

This 3-hour class will begin by mapping the resonance between the anatomy of plants and that of the human body. From there, we’ll delve into the dynamic realms of flavor and temperature, building a working understanding of these energetic vectors and their roles in herbal medicine.

Open to all, this class is designed to inspire participants to include herbs in their daily lives. Through tasting, observation, and embodied learning, students will experience firsthand how plants can support wellness and deepen their relationship with nature.
