Dancing with Grief: Herbal Support for Tough Times

January 17, 2026 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

$20.00 – $40.00
Health & WellnessNew!

Join Educator and Herbalist Iris Kirsch for a talk on living vibrantly in challenging times. We will explore the art of digesting difficult experiences and setting and holding boundaries. We will also learn how to easily incorporate safe, simple, abundant herbs into our lives to increase our resilience and support our nervous systems. Attendees will gain an understanding of the functions of nervine and adaptogenic herbs, the connection between digestion and health, and the power of moving into, rather than away from, difficult emotions.

Iris Kirsch, M. Ed. is a healer, educator, mother, adventurer, punk rocker and herb farmer. She has been talking to plants for 44 years and studying how to heal people with them for over 20. With roots in the Wise Woman Tradition and Ayurveda, Iris and her family run a farm-based Apothecary in Berkeley Springs, WV where they craft healing potions from medicinal herbs they grow, offer holistic health consultations, and embrace chaos.

If you would like to attend this class but are experiencing financial hardship please email arobinson@commonmarket.coop to be added onto the roster.
