2015 Renaissance Medicine Conference

Early this May I did a few classes at the Renaissance Medicine Conference in Portland Oregon that I thought I’d share with you. This is an incredible conference that focuses on the bridging of herbalism, alchemy and medical astrology- all of which were standard physician practice in the Renaissance Era. This year’s conference had world renowned herbalist Matthew Wood, master medical astrologer and author Judith Hill, Scott Kloos (founder of the School of Forest Medicine), and myself.

The first video is on the Alchemical Theory of Health and Disease, or the 5 Entias.
The second video is on Astro-Herbalism and the bridge between plants and planets.

Enjoy!
