Weeding Your Way to Wellness ~ Mornings

This class is sponsored by School of Earth, Energy, and Environmental Sciences and is free to Stanford employees.

Enjoy a warm cup of tea, freshly brewed from herbs harvested that morning from Stanford's brand new "farm". While enjoying your tea, your instructor will illuminate the benefits of the mind-body practices you will experience in each class, including the health promoting benefits of interacting with nature. You will also learn weed identification, what weeds can tell you about your soil, and which weeds are edible. After tea, gentle stretching will begin the mind-body practice portion of class. Stretching will flow right into the focused hands-on meditative practice of creating order and balance in the garden, and in one's thoughts, while working in the earth removing weeds in the beds of the Stanford farm.

Promote your well-being this fall by unwinding your mind and moving your body while experiencing the awesome beauty of the new O'Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm.

Instructor: Rose Madden, Farm Facilities and Production Coordinator, Stanford Education Farm. Rose has over 5 years experience running urban farms and gardens. She is passionate about being healthy and active. 

NOTE: Wear loose comfortable clothes to be outside for the entire class.
