October Class Feature - Natural Approaches to Vibrant Aging

Natural Approaches to Vibrant Aging

Sunday, October 22

1–4pm

All living matter undergoes arisal and decay, breakdown and renewal. As our bodies age, the breakdown process can become more successful than the renewal of healthy tissue. This tendency results in the visible and experienced process of aging.

The choices we make each day can make all the difference in how we experience the aging mind and body. Respecting the needs of our beings and orienting our perspective and behaviors toward vibrancy sets the foundation for maturing with grace and vitality—as free from pain and emotional distress as possible. In this class, we will review these factors and discuss medicinal plants and other nutritional support to help optimize body dynamics toward vibrant function and harmony.

We will also discuss general considerations for working with herbs, adapting to a contaminated biosphere, as well as discuss natural approaches to address some of the common complaints that often accompany aging. Whatever your current age—if you plan to live a long and vibrant life—this class will help guide your steps to a vital present as well as future.

Instructor: Carol Trasatto has been a professional holistic herbalist for most of her working life—teaching, writing, and consulting privately with clients. She has been the herb/supplement buyer at Radiance for 25 years.

Changing Woman: Journey Well through Menopause

Sunday, May 21

12–4pm

Even if you have been resisting the idea that you are going through “the change of life,” there is no stopping or avoiding the process. The shift from fertility to menopause is a profound yet sometimes challenging transformation, and there is great beauty and power to be discovered in the journey if it is engaged mindfully.

In this popular class, we will explore the terrain most often encountered by a Changing Woman—physical, emotional and spiritual. We will draw on a rich tradition of plant allies and other holistic techniques that can help ease our passage, to help us emerge with more vitality and potency than ever. Handouts will be provided; herbal teas and a generous sampling of beneficial snack foods will be served.

Class is limited to women currently undergoing or completing hormonal changes—or who suspect in their deepest hearts that they are. You are not alone, you are not going crazy, and you need not “fade away”!

Instructor: Carol Trasatto. Carol is an herbalist with 35 years of experience who has, herself, traversed the changes of the menopausal transition. Having crossed this lifestage bridge—personally and with hundreds of clients—she understands the process from the inside...and feels honored to assist other women through this often deeply emotional transformation.
