A POST FOR THE SOLSTICE   "White Pine is native to the eastern United States and was known as the great tree of peace to the Iroquois.  So deep was this connection to peace that when the Iroquois would seal a peace agreement they would bury their weapons under a white pine tree.  When you tincture the plant, you tincture the needles, the bark and the twigs which produces a resinous tincture that is super high in vitamin c.  In my experience the tree provides a deep rooted peacefulness that allows you to experience joy.  By working on the lungs, it imparts a lightness to the body reminiscent of its thin, feathery evergreen needles."  Head on over to my blog to learn more about some of the plants I call on to support me through the winter and the holiday season: WHITE PINE, TULSI, CARDAMOM, JUNIPER & CATNIP GIVE THE GIFT OF HEALTH THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

With 478 spectacular acres of hills, valleys, glacial ponds and paths, throughout which exists one of the largest outdoor collections of 19th- and 20th-century statuary and mausoleums, Green-Wood is a site to behold.

NYC Parks uses Periscope to share explorations of New York City's parks, natural areas, and recreational facilities in roaming conversations with expert tour guides.

Herbs & Oils for Musculoskeletal Pain, A workshop at Samamkaya Yoga, Dec. 3rd

Herbs & Oils for Musculoskeletal Pain at Samamkaya Yoga, NYC December 3rd 2015 View this email in your browser "Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing.  Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, however unlikely it may seem."  BKS Iyengar, Light on Life   Aches and pains.  We all have them.  Some of us have them in our head, some of us have them in our spine, some of us have them in our pinky toes. As an herbalist and yoga teacher I look at pain as a signal, a way for the body to communicate that something is out of harmony.  In this light pain can be seen as illuminating; it teaches us about ourselves and points us in the direction toward healing and growth.   There is no magic pill for pain, herbal or otherwise, but there are many plants that we can work with to manage pain and realign the parts of us that are out of balance. On Thursday, December 3rd I will be teaching a workshop on herbs for pain in the musculoskeletal system at Samamkaya Yoga. This workshop is part of Samamkaya Yoga's Holistic Healing Series and I am honored to be presenting this subject at this unique yoga and backcare center in Manhattan.   Details are below. I hope to see you there!   In health & community, Alicia Allison       HERBS & OILS FOR MUSCOLUSKELETAL PAIN A CLOVER AND TIMOTHY WORKSHOP ON THE USE OF HERBS AND ESSENTIAL OILS  FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM   Samamkaya Yoga - Backcare & Scoliosis Collective, NYC Thursday Night Holistic Healing Series December 3, 2015 6-8pm $35 in advance/$40 day of For registration details, please email alicia@cloverandtimothy.com During this two hour workshop, I will present plants and herbal preparations that support the health of the musculoskeletal system and assist with muscular and nerve pain, inflammation and healing.  The use of internal remedies such as herbal tinctures and infusions as well as the topical use of therapeutic oils, liniments and essential oils will be discussed.  Basic use of herbal preparations and dosage will be reviewed so that attendees leave feeling confident in their ability to incorporate simple herbal remedies into self-care routines.  There will be an experiential portion of the workshop where attendees will have the opportunity to see, smell and sample a variety of plant remedies.   Samamkāya Yoga Back Care & Scoliosis Collective is a therapeutic, worker-owned yoga studio that aims to make yoga accessible and healing to students of all ages and abilities who are living with back injuries, chronic/acute pain, differently shaped spines/bodies, scoliosis and spinal fusions.    GIVE THE GIFT OF WELLNESS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!
