Boost your respiratory system and get ready for cold and flu season with medicinal plant allies! We will taste soothing native respiratory plants such as mullein and plantain, expectorants like white pine and thyme, and uplifters such as sassafras and linden.
In this workshop we will discuss the physical medicine of the plants, their plant spirit medicine, as well as practical applications for integrating these respiratory allies into daily life. Following the wheel of self-care into autumn invites us to tend to the lungs, and let go of sadness, grief and whatever is ready to drop away, in order to create space for the fertile winter darkness. Come learn how to strengthen your lungs and breathe easy all through fall and winter!

Emily Cavelier is an herbalist, wellness coach, and chef living and working in New York City since 2003. In 2011, after many years of apprenticing in herbal practice and developing a wellness and nutritional philosophy rooted in deep physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, Emily launched her consulting business, Nourishing Root, with the mission of helping people connect to the natural state of health and joy in their bodies and minds so they can live better, happier lives.
As we move into a more chaotic and uncertain world with much rising to the surface for transformation, self care and community connection are even more valuable in order to maintain calm compassion in the face of challenge. It is my hope that as we connect more with Mama Earth and her rhythms, we will remember our role as care-givers and step into stewards’ shoes. It is my hope that instead of disconnecting from our bodies to cope that we may travel down deep, choosing to be embodied, to live in our bodies and to treat our bodies well.
The Alchemist's Kitchen is a unique destination in the Bowery. More than a botanical dispensary and a whole plant tonic bar serving elixirs and healthy treats, we are a gateway into a conscious lifestyle and community, through our plant-based products, wellness events and transformational workshops.
