Herbal Adaptogens Workshop
2025-07-12 12:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Floyd EcoVillage, 188 EcoVillage Trl SE, Floyd, VA, 24091, United States
Purchasing a one-time, one person registration for the Herbal Adaptogens Workshop, July 12, 2025 from 12-2 pm at the Floyd EcoVillage Farm Store.

In this workshop, we will discuss what adaptogens are and how they work. We will also cover some of the history, folklore, medicinal and cultural uses of Tulsi (Holy Basil), and each attendee will make their own Tulsi tincture. Tulsi is sacred herb with a rich history rooted in Ayurvedic tradition. Revered for its adaptogenic properties, Tulsi helps the body adapt to stress and promotes balance. Its aromatic leaves, infused with a peppery, clove-like flavor, make it a tasty addition to teas and culinary creations. In Ayurvedic medicine, Tulsi is considered a tonic for the mind, body, and spirit. In western herbalism, it is used for its diverse therapeutic benefits, ranging from immune support to anti-inflammatory effects. Tulsi also serves as a symbol of connection to nature and holistic well-being. At I-Tal Acres we cultivate many different varieties of Tulsi, including Rama, Krishna, Vana, Kapoor, and Amrita.
The workshop would entail:
-Small Plant ID Walk and discussion in EcoVillage Learning Garden (weather permitting)
-Rules on Harvesting Sustainably and at peak potency
-Information session on herbal adaptogens, folk uses and history, especially Tulsi
-Tincture making class (Tinctures defined, why tinctures, how to make your own)
-Hands on – each attendee makes a tincture to bring home (will need to macerate and be pressed at home)- plant material for tincture making will be supplied by I-TAL Acres.
Supplies:
-Bowls/Cutting boards/Knives/Scissors to coarsely chop herbs before making tincture (we will have some scissors/pruners/cutting boards, but bring if you have/remember)
-Mason jar or other jar to make tincture (we will have them on hand, but bring one if you have -peanut bar jar size is usually ideal)
-Sunglasses/hat/sunscreen/water bottle – we will be outside at least part of the time

Aikido is a Japanese martial art teaching self defense using efficient body movements, not strength, to redirect the force of an attack and diffusing it. The physical aspects of aikido replace punching and kicking an opponent with joint locks, throws and pins. Aikido training also focuses on the flow of energy and the dynamics of movement and encourages partners to train together cooperatively. Training offers additional benefits beyond self-defense and will increase your awareness, flexibility, and balance. You will also have the opportunity to train your body and mind with breathing, and meditative exercise which help you learn principles that are practical for self defense as well as daily life. Feel free to trim down to make it fit if it is too long.
