Morning workshop: 9-12.
A Herbal Perspective: ADHD & Herbs for Cognition
With the increasing prevalence and proper diagnosis of neurodivergence, the need for herbal and lifestyle support is at an all-time high.
Here we will explore herbs for focus and cognition, as well as gut restoration and nervous system support, which may benefit more than the neurodivergent.
Taj Scicluna has lived experience with ADHD. Although she is not adverse to pharmaceutical intervention and it’s benefits, she manages her symptoms largely with herbs and lifestyle choices.
Here she will share tips from her own personal journey, as well as evidence-based research on herbs that can support, with practical examples of how and when to work with them.
Afternoon workshop: 1 – 4pm
The Herbal Apprentice Essentials
If herbal books have started to feel overwhelming- pages of information that never quite land- you’re not alone.
Herbalism isn’t meant to be memorised. It’s meant to be experienced, sensed, and understood in relationship.
In this workshop, we move beyond rote learning into a deeper way of knowing plants: through the senses, through patterns, and through practical tools that help you understand when and how to use herbs, not just what they do.
You’ll leave with frameworks and learning methods you can return to again and again, long after the workshop has ended.
Just note: when you buy a ticket, your confirmation email will have the times for the whole day. If you’re just booking 1 Masterclass, make sure you write down the correct time.
