Having written “the bible” on menopause and “the best book in print” on breast health, Susun Weed is now going ”down there.” If you’re a woman, you can join her. You’ll find how to have better orgasms, what you need to know to deal with STD’s, HPVs and bum PAPs, and which herbs prevent and treat incontinence. You’ll learn how to help those with endometriosis, fibroids, period pain, PMS, vagina and vulva burning, fertility issues, menopausal distress, and even hemorrhoids. Your specific desires will guide our weekend together, which will include songs, stories, ceremony, a talking stick circle, Wise Woman wisdom, and a moon lodge.
Susun Weed has a bold, dramatic, and direct teaching style, which she combines with generous amounts of humor and compassion and an encyclopedic knowledge of herbs and health. She loves to entice us into the world of green blessings, where she reveals the earth’s abundance and shows us all we need for health and nourishment is close at hand. She is profound and practical, confident and clear, scientific and psychic. Her powerful opinions can occasionally offend, but, like her ally nettle, she promises abundant nourishment to those who tolerate her “sting.”
As a green witch, Susun believes that Nature and Woman are living manifestations of the Goddess. She calls us to the gates of the fairie realm where the mysteries of the plant world are revealed to those who flow from the heart, dance in the Tao, and honor the spiral of life and death. Susun speaks for the Wise Woman tradition, where all beings are interconnected, sacred, and whole, where health is flexibility and our bodies can be trusted, and where nourishment is preferred over cleansing and fixing.
You will return home with a new found confidence in yourself and your ability to use the earth’s green gifts to maintain and regain health and energy. Please being a beautiful gown or red scarf to wear at the moon lodge.
