Have you always wanted to learn how to create herbal medicines for your family? I’m so happy to share with you this season, a guide, not just into the herbs around us, but an invitation into wonder and stories and relationship.

The guide is for the parent who wants to learn how to make potent herbal remedies for her family, for the child who loves to be in the kitchen and meadow, for the teen who wants to be a part of their family’s healing and ignite a life long love with what grows all around us.

The seasonal rhythm is more than just herbs, it’s a gentle walk through the joys of our homeschool. I wanted it to feel like you’re sitting down with a friend when you read it because that’s what this is: a compilation of poetry, books, music, recipes and art that make our learning, really our living, so full of beauty. I share the ways we enjoy these pursuits with gentle guidance. There is no checklist or day by day schedule, but more of a hope that you’ll join me in pursuing wonder, enjoying beauty and learning in a rich way that can supplement the more traditional subjects. These artful additions to those core subjects are perhaps more important to learning because to me, they are the beauty we call on throughout life, the forest walk, the poem, song or piece of art has a place deep inside us that when given in childhood stays forever and makes a home.

The guide is written for September, October and November. You’ll learn side by side through videos we have made, along with written instruction, how to infuse oil, make a salve, make elderberry tincture and syrup, blend a healing tea and create an echinacea glycerite. The focus for these months is creating a medicine cabinet of useful remedies for the winter months. It was pure joy to put together and I’m excited to share something I love so much in this small way, with you.

With love, Laura
