☀︎ The Wisdom of Nature with Mathew Wood

As most of us know, Nature is a spiritual living being. We want to be part of that All-Life/All-Soul. One way we can draw closer to Nature is through the understanding and use of natural healing principles, plants, and other methods. Every sickness is a lesson, immunologically, spiritually, etc. Biomedicine suppresses; Nature heals. This class will discuss basic principles, energetics, doctrine of signatures, and herbs.

Opening Ceremony

☀︎ The Doctrine of Signatures with Mathew Wood

Plants look like the organ or the disease, or grow under conditions similar to a disease. This causes changes in the appearance and properties of plants so that we can tell what the plant is for from its appearance. Put your eyes, imaginations and intuition to work and learn about herbs.
