Plants for Protection (In Person)
with founder Rachel Budde, in collaboration with the Alembic.
Location:
The Berkeley Alembic
2820 Seventh Street Berkeley, CA 94710
About the Class:
Humans have depended on the protective powers of plants as much as we have depended on them for medicine, food, shelter, fiber and fuel.
The concept of ‘protection’ is complex. In the immediate sense, we want to protect ourselves from outside forces that might do us harm, yet the most profound way to protect ourselves is to get to the root of our unsafety, or sense of it. Plants, in both their medicinal influence on our physiology and in their unique energetics in form of amulets, or symbols can offer us protection on many levels.
In this class, which is part discussion, part experiential, herbalist Rachel Budde will discuss plants for protection and their roles in supporting us in creating boundaries, and assessing threats.
About Rachel Budde:
Rachel Budde is an herbalist, teacher and founder of Fat and the Moon, a company that provides handcrafted, herbal body care to those seeking to imbue their daily regimes with intention and botanical benefit. Continuing a legacy of natural healers, Rachel sees topical herbal products as a gateway for profound realizations of the efficacy of plant medicine.
Rachel's work as an herbalist is an extension of her Slovenian heritage. Since 2015, she has been conducting ethnobotanical research on medicinal plants and their traditional, folk uses in Slovenia which will culminate in her upcoming book. Along with her studies of herbalism, Rachel is also trained in the somatic psychotherapeutic method, Hakomi. She is also trained as a psychedelic guide. Rachel is presently enrolled in a Master's program in herbal medicine at the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Ethnobotanist Kathleen Harrison serves as her ongoing mentor, guiding Rachel's exploration into ancestral honoring, inter-species relating, and redefining the primary significance of psychedelics as acknowledging our inextricable interconnectedness. Rachel has taught herbal medicine around the country, from beginner to advanced. You can follow her work @zlatababababa, @fatandthemoon

Free Class (In Person)
Bitters - A Flavor to Digest
May 11th, 2025
Located at Mountain Rose Mercantile in Eugene Oregon
152 W 5th Ave, Eugene, OR, United States, Oregon 97401
ABOUT:
Herbalist Rachel Budde of Nevada City, California will be joining us at the Mountain Rose Herbs Mercantile to dive deep into the world of herbal bitters.
Bitter is the flavor of our ancestors, and like many things from our past, we’ve been running from it. As the flavor of bitter is disappearing from our diets, our digestive function has suffered. A dysfunctional gut disconnects us from core wisdom, amongst other aspects of our wellness.
Join us for a FREE CLASS to explore bitter herbs, the physiology of digestion, and the magic of making bitters. You'll get to try some different bitter flavors and embark on a lifelong journey to better support wellness through the power of plants!
PLEASE RSVP IF YOU ARE ATTENDING!
