BLOOM
BLOOM is a community flower essence class ~ we’ll gather in golden gate park in may to celebrate the flowers, learn about the craft of essence making, and make our own essences.

Noticing Nature (with local illustrator Hollis Callas)
Take a moment to pause and immerse yourself in the beauty of Golden Gate Park with west-side residents illustrator Hollis Callas and herbalist kelly lecoy. Join us for a guided walk through the park and an exploration of nature journaling, a mindful practice that encourages you to slow down and notice the ever-changing details of the world around you.

seasons turn
seasons turn is a year-long journey of exploring time through the elements and natural cycles, of paying attention, and of tending to self and community through each season’s shift.
Tending with intention through the seasons is a practice, a way to be in tune with ourselves as the elements change. To lean into the slower months as much as the fullest ones. To mark the passing of time with how we care for our selves, our homes, our communities, and the earth.

CYCLES
CYCLES is a class on paying attention, on finding ways to be in time outside of the gregorian calendar and national holidays, and creating personal practices for tuning in to what's shifting around us.
In this 90-minute class, we’ll talk about ways of noticing, of tuning in to the ebb and flow of sun, moon, earth, and body. Cycles happening all around us. We’ll learn some of the history of english words for the seasons and explore ways of creating our own sense of seasonality. To put theory into practice, we’ll look at different ways of mapping out time and begin our own calendars.

Herbs For Your Nerves
We encounter stressors every day in our lives and this can impact all parts of our being, from immunity, to sleep, to digestion. Plants are powerful allies to our nervous systems and can help us adapt to and build resilience for the everyday stress of living. They can help calm anxiety, uplift our spirits, settle an upset stomach, or soothe us into sleep.
In this class we’ll break down the complexity of the nervous system, explore a few ideas for regulating, and meet some plant allies that can help support us in the process.

Meet Your Neighborhood Herbalists
Stop into Sealevel on May 7 from 4:00-5:30pm to sip some tea, meet your neighborhood herbalists, and learn a little more about how herbs can support you and your loved ones.
