Emotional First Aid

Welcome to Emotional First Aid!

In this five-part video-workshop series we’ve compiled some of our most-utilized tools and practices to share with you a practical, simple method for easing the stress, anxiety, depression, and overwhelm of daily life. Recipes and handouts are provided to complement the webinars.

This series was originally filmed in the Summer of 2020 in response to the grief, trauma, and collective stress of the Covid-19 pandemic. We believe these tools and herbs are applicable to stresses triggered by a wide variety of personal and collective events, and we hope these resources will support your journey towards finding peace and calm.
