Another year of free classes!

Another year of free classes!

As you know, part of Haven's dedication to mutual aid is herbal education. Our staff herbalist, Lily, hosts free programming all year long!

We have free hour-long Zoom classes for Cancer Support Community Central Ohio on the 4th Tuesday of every month (January-November) at 9 AM. This is the third year Lily has presented these free classes for cancer survivors and their caregivers.

She is also increasing the Ask the Herbalist series- a free hour to chit-chat and ask questions of an herbalist. While this is not for clinical advice, sometimes you have a question that only an herbalist, holistic practitioner, formulator, or wellness coach can answer! So Lily makes herself available for these sessions. It was quarterly in 2021 and 2022, and in 2023 it will be every two months on Zoom.

You can always check our calendar for upcoming events (and pre-sales, and more!) and get registration links.

Cancer Support Community's Natural Living Series happens the 4th Tuesday on Zoom 9-10AM ET (USA). Pre-register for a Zoom link.

Ask the Herbalist happens every other month on the dates below. Pre-register for these as well for a Zoom link.
