EMBARK ON A JOURNEY INTO NATIVE AMERICAN MEDICINES OF THE SOUTHEAST WITH THE ESTEEMED AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR AND NATURALIST, MARK WARREN.

Join us on January 25th for an evening lecture where Mark Warren will guide you through the rich and varied flora of the Southeast, which once fulfilled all the needs of its original inhabitants.

In our modern era, we often overlook the invaluable gifts of the Southeast’s flora, leading to a noticeable disconnect from an intimate relationship with nature. This lecture, however, aims to reintroduce practical knowledge about utilizing regional plants for a spectrum of common ailments. From addressing minor issues like cuts, stings, head lice, and rashes to more significant concerns such as gallstones, dysentery, nausea, and skin cancer, the presentation covers a comprehensive range.

Participants will not only gain insights into Native American medicines but also learn field preparation techniques. This knowledge empowers individuals to reconnect with the natural world, fostering a more sustainable and harmonious coexistence with the environment, one person at a time.
