Who is the presenter of the Herbal Care Workshop?

Lise Racine is an herbalist, and holds a nursing degree from University Laval (Québec, Canada).

The workshop "Herbal Care" has been ran every year since 2018.

In late 2022, the content was extended and the format improved, making it accessible to more people.

 

There are three possible formats for the workshop.

Option #1 Online self pace workshop gives you access to the 54 pages of downloadable documents, the five and a half hours of videos, and questions answered by Lise through email.   You do this at your pace, and your own time.  The downloadable information and videos are available for six months.

Option #2  Online workshop with three Zoom meetings.  The theory is delivered through online documents and videos.  One Zoom meeting is held at the beginning consisting of a meet, greet, and welcome session with house keeping questions being addressed to ensure a smooth learning experience.  Afterwards, a zoom meeting of two hours  is held every second week for a total of three zoom meetings covering the material.

Option #3  Online workshop with three meetings on the property in Tallebudgera Queensland.  The theory is delivered through online documents and videos. The face to face meetings run every second week from 9:00 to 12:00 doing practical exercises using live plants.  The dates for this format are selected and announced in advance with limited places available for attendees.

A note about the next intake for option #3 in 2023.
The dates for next year will be published as soon as they are established.  For the format of people coming onto the property I want to be sure to have fresh herbs growing to make herbal extract.  If the weather is “good” we have herbs growing well early in the year.  In that case the first workshop could be in March.
If the weather is not so good then the workshop is more likely to be later in the season such as August.
In the meantime if you are interested to join the workshop, register your interest and your details will be added to the “people interested” so you can be the first ones informed of the next intake.
