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

This is your place for all things plants and liberation.

Let's get started.

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

I'm so over the moon.

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

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

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

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.

So.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

And yeah, like I just.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

So, anyway.

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

And yeah, thank you.
