The Living Medicine Series.
Presented by the Sustainable Living Arts School (SLAS) and the Living Medicine Project (LMP). Monthly Learning Parties will be dedicated to the study and art of herbal medicine.
These hands-on, half-day intensives will include Plant Identification, Gathering and Medicine Making. These 3 simple pieces are the tools required to know how, when and which plants can be gathered from gardens, parks and lawns to become food and medicines to keep our families and friends healthy.
Join us for the first in this Series...
Healing with Spring Herbs: Nettles, Noxious or Nutritious?
Sunday April 5th
11am-2pm
Burnaby Lake Area (carpooling will be coordinated where possible)

Understanding that Value is something that is often immeasurable, the LMP roots itself in the spirit of Trust, Generosity and Accessibility. Money is understood as one strategy to meet needs such as contribution, connection and support of livelihood. Barters and trades are also encouraged and accepted.
Donations will be split between SLAS, LMP and the facilitator(s)
Garliq is the founder of the Living Medicine Project, a non-profit, community healing practice in Vancouver that aims to bring the healing of plant medicines to families and community through treatment, education and social justice work.
He is a Clinical Herbalist offering personal, 1-on-1 treatment, a Popular Educator offering a variety of hands-on workshops about plant medicines, and a Community Organizer focused on creating accessible healing spaces and clinics at community events.
His training has focused on wholistic systems of health and wellbeing such as the Chinese 5 Elements and the Ayurveda. His studies at the North East School of Botanical Medicine and at the Blue Deer Centre (both in upstate NY) have given him a strong and balanced skill set combining immediate use, herbal first aid skills and personalized, tonic treatment for restoring overall health, balance and quality of life.
Garliq has a deep passion for plant medicine and a strong desire for healthy community. Understanding the interconnectedness between our personal health and our community’s health, the Living Medicine Project works to bring plant medicines into both.
**This is a family friendly event. Feel free to bring your kids.
