The Workshop: Herbal Support for Trauma
Workshop description:
This workshop dives into understanding the nervous system and how it is affected by trauma.
We will look at different nervous system states, their links with chronic illness, as well as herbal support that can help shift these states.
We will introduce nervines – plant medicines with an affinity for the nervous system and their actions on the body, as well as what this looks like in practice in terms of day-to-day. Takeaway medicine making handouts including how to make heavenly infused lavender oil.

Who are we?
School of Care, Liberation & Disruption:
SOCLD is a space to heal, liberate and disrupt through learning, knowledge shares, care and action. Many in our community have found traditional healing support, education and mobolizing spaces to be inaccessible, unaffordable, exclusive and catered to one small demographic. SOCLD is a space for and by those with lived experience of oppression and violence. We seek to find better ways for liberatory recovery, action and collective care.
(A new project run by SLEEC).
SLEECis a survivor led organisation that changes conversations, supports survivors and tackles the roots of male violence. (sleec.net)
