Join us for a unique experience in the beautiful grounds of CECAS in Leap, where you can truly immerse into the senses. This three hour workshop is facilitated by Jen Doran.
Jen will help us to immerse fully into the landscape surrounding us, firstly beginning with a grounded yoga & mediation practice to land us fully into our bodies and senses. Gently moving onto a guided plant walk, Jen will show us various plants that are good for foraging at this time of the year, sharing knowledge around the medicinal benefits of the plants, how to make different remedies from them and folklore surrounding them. The morning will finish with a taster of some herbal teas and remedies that Jen has prepared from some of the plants that we meet on the walk, completing the immersion into the senses.
Let your senses guide you as you connect with nature and yourself in a whole new way. Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore and discover the world around you in a meaningful and enriching way. See you there!
About the facilitator: Jen Doran is based in West Cork where she has been running her herbal practice in Clonakilty and also many different foraging & yoga based events for the past four years. Forever being inspired by nature and the importance of connecting with our bodies firstly in order to connect with the environment around us, Jen became a yoga teacher before completing her herbal medicine training. Trained in Hatha, Yin And Ashtanga yoga, Jen has a dynamic practice from which she draws different elements of the cycles & rhythms in the nature around into the yoga she shares. Jen is lucky to come from a lineage of herbalists, with her father being a herbalist too and her great grandmother also was a handy woman in Donegal, meaning she was the herbalist and midwife for her village. Jens big passion is to help people remember the importance of this ancient craft of herbal medicine and its way of treating various health conditions and also preventing ill health. Along with the amazing way in which herbal medicine brings people back into relationship and conversation with the land, thus helping protect and care for it.
