Workshop:

Part I: “MEMORY AND CONCENTRATION”

Do you find yourself alarmed that you can’t remember someone’s name anymore, or:

• A poem just won’t stick in your mind?
• Why am I standing in the kitchen doorway?
• The car keys are lost again?

If these moments sound familiar, come and join the workshop where we’ll talk about:

• What affects memory
• How to give your memory a rest
• When to start supporting your memory
• How and with what to nourish your memory
• Which supplements are beneficial for the brain and concentration
• Which breathing exercises enhance brain activity

Part II: “HOW CAN I HELP MYSELF IN TIMES OF STRESS”

We will discuss which medicinal plants, natural remedies, and activities can help us improve concentration and enhance the precious skills of our grey brain cells.

Which are the powerful Estonian plants that both have a calming effect and, on the other hand, give energy? Which plants help us adapt better? Where to press, how to breathe when your lungs are jumping over your liver? Which helpers to choose from a capsule and which to go and pick yourself in the forest?

Workshop "THE MAGIC OF PLANTS"

Have you ever carried a chestnut in your pocket or perhaps worn a flower on your chest or in your hair?

Different plants affect our being and actions in different ways, and this influence will be explored further in the workshop. You don’t always have to eat plants to benefit from them; sometimes it’s enough just to have them nearby to support you in difficult times or to bring your wishes to fruition. By the way, there are also plants that, when put in a child’s pocket, make them more obedient.

In the workshop, participants will, under Angelika’s guidance, create their own personal plant set to support their energy and the year’s cycle. The plants will be placed in a plant pouch, known as a “taiakott”.

Angelika will bring along a dozen plants, each representing various magical traditions and abilities, and together we will choose our own plants to carry in our “taiakott” pouches. You can make your own special pouch for your powerful plants at home in advance or buy one on the spot. 

At different times of the year, we have different wishes and needs – come and let them sprout using the power of plants, guided by the planets and the elements.
