Little Herbologists and Potion Masters

Infusing herbalisim with literature is fun for all ages!  Herbology, as is studied at Hogwarts, is a traditional magick that compliments all of the other disciplines - perhaps more than any other.  Young or young-at-heart fans of the Wizarding World can join me in some fun crafts and experiments centered around the magick that is inspired by the beloved stories.  Explore some potions as well as some take-home crafts, in the kids' tent!

Plant Whisperers
Stacey Quade
We will do a quick review of how our human bio field is connected to the Universal Energy field and how we can use this part of ourselves to talk to the plants. We will practice and listen with this part of ourselves with each other and with specific plants.

Flower Power
​
Angela McElroy
What do you get when you take a flower and a horse and put them together?  FLOWER POWER.  Flowers are more than a pretty face! Flowers are enriched with powerful healing and transformation for individuals. The use of flowers for the healing purposes is timeless as it addresses a wide range of physical and spiritual imbalances.  Winston Churchill puts it perfectly “There's something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”  This hands on class with horse and flower will educate the youngest learner on how to heal the deepest wounds with flowers and a horse buddy.
