5 Day Herbal Medicine Workshop with Zev Rosenberg, hosted by Redwing Books

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

See below, wish i was there - Attilio

 

CLOUD HIDDEN/WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN

HARVESTING WILD MEDICINALS/STUDYING CLASSICAL CHINESE MEDICAL TEXTS

 

A five-day excursion and study program with Zev Rosenberg,

professor at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, San Diego. With

special guest lecturer, Sabine Wilms, Ph. D. editor and author.

 

Hosted by Redwing Books and Paradigm Press, Taos, N.M.

 

This exciting program will take place in Taos, New Mexico, home of

Paradigm Publications, one of the premier publishers of books on

Chinese medicine. Zev lived for seven years in Santa Fe, N.M. and

ten years in Denver/Boulder, Colo. before moving to San Diego, Ca. to

chair the Department of Herbal Medicine at Pacific College of

Oriental Medicine fifteen years ago. During his years in Colorado

and New Mexico, as well as studying and practicing Chinese medicine,

he learned to identify, wild-craft and use local medicinals growing

in the Rocky Mountains. He returns yearly in the summertime to these

mountains to continue his herbal revision quest.

 

The program will balance field work with study, practicality

with classical scholarship. The focus will be on identifying and

harvesting local medicinals and finding their equivalents in the

Zhong yao da ci dian/Great Dictionary of Chinese

Medicinals and the Sheng nong ben cao/Divine Farmers Materia Medica

in order to determine potential uses in consonance with mainstream

Chinese internal medicine. In addition, we will study such texts as

the Qian jin yao fang/Essential Recipes Worth a Thousand Gold Coins

with a focus on preparation of herbs for medicine, with a special

lecture featuring Sabine Wilms, Ph. D. who has translated the text.

In the mornings we will head up the canyons into the mountains to

harvest herbs, then in the afternoons and some evenings, classroom

study at Paradigm's passive solar location centrally located in

Taos. We will also include a visit to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs one

afternoon.

 

Since the traditional herbal system in China developed out of local/

native plants used over millennia, it is important that we learn the

medicines of mountains, fields, and streams in our own native

environment. An herbalist is like a hunter for medicine, who

closely examines habitat, climate, season, and qualities of plants,

animals and minerals when choosing medicines. Being an herbalist

requires a similar sensitivity to the diagnostic skills of Chinese

medicine.

 

New Mexico's northern high desert and mountain ranges are an

unspoiled treasure house of potent herbs nurtured by the high

altitude, strong sunlight and sharp temperature changes of the

region. The contrasts of altitude, rainfall and sunlight have

created several life zones with a variety of medicinal plants found

in few other locales. The staggering beauty of the area calms the

mind and increases sensitivity to studying the traditions of Chinese

medicine.
