‘Down There’ (for men and women), the Wise Woman Way
The conference runs from Friday to Sunday, but these two day-long intensives are actually "stand alone" events. In other words, someone can attend the intensives without attending the conference itself -- or vice versa.
Susun Weed will teach on Thursday, October 20 from 9 to 5 (with a break for lunch) on 'Down There' (for men and women), the Wise Woman Way. This class will be based upon her just-published book of the same title. As Susun describes it: "With ceremony, story and song, Susun will lead an expedition “down there.” First stop, the ovaries, where we will learn the early warning signs of ovarian cancer, and discover foods and herbs that can be used to help women with PCOS, cysts, and other ovarian conditions. We’ll give our ovaries an ovation, then it’s on to the prostate. Though at least half of American men will have BPH or prostate cancer by the age of 50, neither are inevitable. Foods, herbs, and lifestyle can shift the odds in favor of your health and longevity. We’ll ponder saw palmetto’s relationship with LUTS, have a fling with Pinus pollen, dance with rye pollen, share pumpkin seed recipes, ponder tomatoes and echinacea, and learn how to power up the prostate. Time permitting, Susun will be happy to address other down there issues as well.
Then on Friday, October 21 from 9 to 5, Aviva will offer Herbal Medicine for the Childbearing Year.
