Workshops/Βιωματικά Εργαστήρια

These day-workshops take place at Aurama’s garden (or elsewhere) and they aim at the experiential learning and/or practice of herbal medicine and natural healing. They empower us by revealing how to incorporate healing practices in our everyday life and, thus, improve our quality of life. We nourish body, mind, soul and spirit, we awaken our senses, open our horizons. They are characterised by a spirit of truthfulness, co-operation, but also contemplation. They may include knowledge from philosophy to medicine and environmental sciences and they evolve along activities such as permaculture gardening, tea tasting, herbal medicine making, diet, nutrition and cooking, yoga and aromatherapy. They may focus on holistic healing techniques to address specific health issues and give you knowledge and confidence to manage first symptoms and simple transient ailments. They can also support you to start and continue an herbal treatment and holistic healing pathway for more complex issues. 

Nutritional activities and cooking dive into the history, ecology, cultural tradition, and phytotherapeutics (medicinal value) of the food we’ll be eating. We will be collecting herbs from the garden to use, and depending on the season we’ll be learning about wild greens and food. Workshops evolve along the core ideas of food being nutritional, but also on nourishment being a shared experience. Please let us know of any allergies and food specifications.

Gardening activities will unravel the secrets of growing medicinal herbs depending on plant and ecological circumstances and they may also include permaculture food growing. They will reveal the therapeutic value of gardening to mind, body, and psyche, giving guidance on appropriate body postures and movement. They may be combined with herb collection and processing techniques.

Day-workshops can be booked by small groups of about 4–8 people. Alternatively, register your interest and we will let you know when the next workshop of your preference is available. Please, wear appropriate clothes and let us know if you have any food or other allergies, or any disability issues.

Please note, workshops, seminars or online information cannot substitute professional health advice; self-medicating is not proposed for serious ailments or if under medication without consulting with your health care provider.
