143 – Last chance to join the Herbalism, PTSD and Traumatic Stress Course waiting list!

Welcome to the Frontline Herbalism Podcast with your host, Nicole Rose from the

Solidarity Apothecary.

This is your place for all things plants and

liberation.

Let's get started.

Hello.

Welcome back to the Frontline Herbalism

Podcast.

I'm really sorry, I wanted to publish the episode today with the like, crafting herbal

protocols for fatigue and depletion.

But just baby logistics I didn't set.

I normally set an alarm on like a nursery day

and didn't.

Me and Lee slept till like 7 o' clock in the morning, which probably sounds really early to

some people, but if you have a toddler, you'll know that that is like a good lion, given that

he fell asleep at five o' clock last night because he didn't have a nap yesterday.

So he, this child slept for like 14 hours, can you believe it?

And I also got like 10 hours sleep.

Miracle.

Anyway,

just feeding him, getting out the door, doing all the things.

Sometimes I genuinely do feel like I am living in an episode.

Is it Outnumbered? Can anyone remember that show for people

listening from the uk?

Anyway, I will, yeah, be hopefully recording it tomorrow,

but I just wanted to come in with a cheeky announcement to say it is pretty much the

final countdown for joining the waiting list for the Herbalism PTSD and Traumatic stress

course.

So, yeah, so the course is launching on Sunday, but on Saturday I will be emailing

everyone on the waiting list with two codes.

So one of them is the waiting list discount

code.

So this is 10% off for people who are enrolling at the standard rate or the resource

rate, which I'll talk about shortly.

And also the code for the solidarity places.

So for people wanting to access a course at a

sliding scale rate,

basically, if you're on the waiting list, it soothes my anxiety because I know how many

people are interested in the course.

I can do a bit of the maths and have a kind of better picture of how well you know, the

fundraising might go if you didn't know.

This course basically funds like 90% of the

sold out apothecary.

So all the things I do, like the books to prisoners all over the world, the herbal care

packages, the Black Flag free clinic,

this podcast, all the other solidarity stuff I do and just, yeah, my livelihood as like a

single mum.

So it's really ******* important to me.

And if you can join that waiting list, it just means that you're not going to ******* miss it

because it is an amazing course.

So if you haven't heard about the Herbalism, PTSD and traumatic stress course, I have A

bunch of podcast episodes where I'm talking about it in much more depth.

It's basically super comprehensive online course, eight modules, you can work through it

at whatever pace you like.

Whether you do one lesson a month or one lesson a year, it's totally up to you.

But it's all about how trauma shapes our body, how stress affects our health and our

physiology, our different nervous system states,

and all the herbal support possible from like nutritive herbs and nutritional deficiencies

that contribute to anxiety and insomnia, to nerve tonics for helping recover from chronic

stress.

Herbs with an affinity for the nervous system

as relaxants or sedatives or cardiac nervines.

There's 32 plant profiles in the course is super ******* comprehensive.

I literally don't think there's anything else like this that is quite so nervous system

specific.

And yeah, if you are new to herbalism, you'll learn absolutely shitloads.

If you're an experienced herbalist, you will also learn a lot.

Because I don't feel like this kind of stuff got covered in this kind of comprehensive way

in my clinical training.

It's something that I've put into practise through my life, through my one to one work,

through all my herbal solidarity stuff with refugees in France and Ukraine and everywhere

else.

So,

yeah, and no one is turned away for lack of funds.

So if you're able to access it at the standard rate, which is 225, that is amazing.

It will really, really help the solidarity apothecary and you can spread that payment out

over like five months.

If you want to contribute something like monthly at a lower rate, there's options to do

that.

So you might even just pop in like three

pounds a month as a donation.

Like that would be ******* amazing.

And then there's also a resource rate for

people who own houses or have kind of like unearned generational wealth.

Like basically if you're, you know, a landlord or you are living off a trust fund, things

like this,

the resource rate is 375.

And it sounds crazy but like four people

signing up at that rate can just be like a life changing amount of money for me and kind

of makes the difference with every course launch who signs up for that rate.

So I really, really, really appreciate the financial solidarity aspect of that.

And then the solidarity signing scale rate is basically from 0 to 2 to 5.

So you can choose whatever you can contribute in that scale.

Maybe it's 100 quid as a one off thing.

Maybe you want to set up a standing order.

That' £10amonth.

Or maybe you just need to access it for free right now and you could pop a donation in

later on.

It's totally up to you.

I grew up on fcking benefits with a single

mother.

I know how fcking rough capitalism can be.

I mean, I guess with the context of fcking living in England and white privilege and all

the other things.

But what I'm saying is like, I do not want anyone ******* not accessing this information,

this support, this resource because of ******* money and class and capitalism and all the

other fcking things.

So yeah, as a kind of act of class solidarity, I make sure that like no one is turned away

for lack of funds.

And I really mean that.

You don't need to disclose stuff about your financial circumstances.

You can just pop the ******* code in and you will get it for free if needed.

So if you want these codes, discount code, everything else, please join the waiting list.

The last chance is tomorrow, Friday.

I'm going to be sending the email Saturday

morning to everyone with those codes, so.

And yeah, if you can share about the course on your networks, on your social media, I really

appreciate it.

And yeah, feel free to drop us an email if you have any questions about the course.

The course information page has shitloads of information,

loads of testimonials from people that have worked through it.

And yeah, I just want people to ******* access it because we are living in a really

traumatising world that is unlikely to become less traumatising anytime soon.

So we need it all together.

We need the herbal support, we need the social

change and the kind of structural changes that prevent ******* trauma in the first place.

But yeah, in the meantime,

while we are in this very interesting world, we, yeah, I think we need to connect with

plants and access that support and care and solidarity from the plant world the best we

can.

So anyway, thank you for listening to this tiny announcement.

I will be back soon with the other podcasts about fatigue and I'm also gonna start talking

about sleep as well and herbal support for sleep and insomnia.

So look forward to that.

Okay, thanks so much.

Thanks so much for listening to the Frontline Herbalism podcast.
