Nicole:

Welcome to the Frontline Herbalism podcast with your host Nicole Rose from the Solidarity Apothecary.

Nicole:

This is your place for all things plants and liberation.

Nicole:

Let's get started.

Nicole:

Hey everyone, just a announcement that the Herbalism PTSD and Traumatic Stress Course is now open for enrolment.

Nicole:

I'm so over the moon.

Nicole:

It feels amazing after all this kind of work and build up to finally kind of release it to the world.

Nicole:

So I will put the link in the show notes, it's basically solidarityapothecary.org/herbalismandptsdcourse.

Nicole:

And I'm going to record a longer episode about the, about the course.

Nicole:

I did do one before that you can find in the kind of back catalog where I read the kind of course page out loud, but I think I wanted to record another episode with some of the testimonials from people who've been working through it and some of the changes I made to it and stuff.

Nicole:

So.

Nicole:

But yeah, I just wanted to kind of drop into your podcast players today to tell you that it is open for enrolment.

Nicole:

You know, I've talked about this before, but it is no one turned away for lack of funds.

Nicole:

I've got a whole page all about the kind of solidarity place, which is for people in sort of, you know, financial distress.

Nicole:

And that means like That it's basically, you know, the standard rate is 195.

Nicole:

That's for people that have like employment and a regular income, you know, and can do the things like takeaways and holidays and stuff like that with kind of ease.

Nicole:

And the resource rate is for people who own property, for example, or have like inheritance that they're living off or kind of unearned wealth.

Nicole:

And then the solidarity place is for people who are, yeah, experiencing some form of kind of economic oppression.

Nicole:

So for example, someone who's just left prison or refugees without discourse to public funds or people who are living on state benefits, like in a really low income way.

Nicole:

Yeah, or people, you know, that are kind of unemployed and yeah, where, you know, I've been on the breadline like many times in my life where, you know, a course like this, it's just, it feels like an absolutely, you know, it feels like a million miles away.

Nicole:

But yeah, like, you know, I say on the course page, and I will talk about this more when I record the episode, like, I do, you know, I don't want to turn away people in poverty from learning about trauma, because I think people living in those situations are often the most exposed to trauma, and I, You know, I definitely know that from my own childhood, which is why I've always strived as a kind of anarchist and anti capitalist to create really accessible offerings.

Nicole:

But anyway, there's a whole course page all about how it works.

Nicole:

You can find that under the like, how much does the course cost section.

Nicole:

There's like a link off to that page and there's the code of like how to access the course and stuff.

Nicole:

But yeah, I am hoping that people that do have some financial resources contribute because that is what makes it possible for everyone.

Nicole:

And yeah, like I just.

Nicole:

You know, like, I just want to emphasize again, like, yeah, I don't want to blow my own trumpet because there is like so much amazing herbal education around the world.

Nicole:

But I think this course is unique in a sense that it does like very explicitly focus on trauma.

Nicole:

It really deep dives into nervine plants, so plants with an affinity for the nervous system.

Nicole:

You know, it explores like the politics of trauma, how we frame it, you know, collective responses to traumatic stress.

Nicole:

So it's not just, you know, one person's responsibility to somehow feel different.

Nicole:

You know, it takes a whole community for us to, you know, for us to kind of.

Nicole:

shift our state sometimes and you know we can draw on support from non humans, from plants and animals and yeah.

Nicole:

Anyway, there is so much there and I'm going to do a whole other episode all about the course in detail.

Nicole:

In the meantime feel free to message me on Instagram or send me an email with your course question and I'll do my best to get back to you ASAP.

Nicole:

But yeah, if you are on the fence about it I just really encourage you to sign up and like I've mentioned before I'm really not if I'm going to launch it again next year because of my pregnancy.

Nicole:

So, anyway.

Nicole:

Take care and please spread the word, spread the graphics tell your friends about it.

Nicole:

And yeah, thank you.

Nicole:
