One of the basic safety considerations most asked by herbalists and pregnant folks who wish to use herbal medicine is the question of herbal safety in pregnancy. The class will look at 3 different approaches to the question of herbal safety in pregnancy. Students will leave class with an understanding of herbs that they can use during pregnancy as well as understanding when to consider using herbs that may carry some risk and what these risks entail. Focus will be on herbs commonly used by midwives, birth workers & pregnant folks as well as herbs used for common discomforts and issues that arise during pregnancy.

First Aid skills can be useful skills for anyone to incorporate into community and/or family life as well as an important component of herbal medicine practice. These skills can be used to benefit our communities in times of need and for the day-to-day care of acute health conditions. In this class Cal Wolfpack, a community and clinical herbalist with a background in first aid, will present their herbal first aid kit as a hands-on example of how one might organize their first aid kit to include herbal medicine as a primary element. In this class, participants will learn clinical skills and considerations for first aid work, herbal strategies for wound care, and discuss other problems commonly encountered in first aid in which herbs have a primary role in care. Participants will gain knowledge of several herbs including when and how to use them for acute health situations.

Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic medication that has been used for decades in hospitals and clinics.

The Back Pack Ritual helps you identify what weight you carry on a daily basis, how you carry it and when to release it. Supported by nature and your fellow hikers, you can step into contemplation, movement and release of that which you carry. Facilitated by Suzanne Pulcher.

Created for the Pollinate Women's Weekend in 2022, this powerful ritual helps you start the journey back to loving yourself through your body. The body knows the score and holds the truth, the truth that goes deeper than social custom. Join Pollinate Ritual Founder, Kathryn Dickel for this powerful, intimate ritual where women explore the vulerable power of being naked in a non-sexualized environment. This ritual will be limited to twelve women.  We will completely disrobe during the ritual so you must be willing to confront all your emotions being in this embodied state.

Snacks will be provided. RSVP IS REQUIRED. This is a free will donation ritual, contribute what you can so we can keep this programming accessible for all. This is available to contributing Pollinate Patreon members for no additional contribution. To find out more about becoming a Pollinate Pateron member go here.
