Class Description

Description

Medicine-Making with Cannabis Hemp Plants: CBD, Moon Cycles & Spiritual Practices

Sister Kate is the founder of the Sisters of The Valley (non-Catholic nuns), an activist organization whose mission and servitude is dedicated to healing the world through plant-based medicine. And very much like their Beguine ancestors of the Middle Ages, they are scholars who work together, pray together and are dressed to identify their enclave. Their farmland is located in Central Valley, California. All organic products are hand-made by women, who follow a patent-pending Moon Cycle Medicine-Making process, and spiritual practices to care for the Earth; this includes following the guidance of Indigenous people who respect and can speak to the land and its needs.

Whether you live in a rural area or an urban setting, you can apply these methods when medicine-making from home. The medicine-making we will learn about is infused with safe, non-psychoactive (non-THC), and non-addictive cannabidiol (CBD), and can be used to heal yourself, family, friends or can be used to start a business of your own. You can learn to plant on land, in your apartment or on your windowsill.

We will start by making a CBD topical salve which includes preparing the space, performing a blessing of the hands (in order to manifest healing intentions); then learn to start, strain and mix essential oils with beeswax; and then pour, set and finish the salve.

What to Consider When Making Handmade CBD Products:

  • How to adapt our relationship to nature when medicine-making so the intent of healing can be strengthened
  • How to select the breed of a plant
  • Researching the regulations in regard to the manufacturing of handmade products
  • Where to source other ingredients and end-product
  • How to apply the moon cycles to plant growth and why it is important
  • How to price a product
  • Using blessings over plants and products
  • Holistic approach vs. corporate approach towards cannabis
  • Our attitudes toward the creeping spirituality of the cannabis plant
  • Maintaining safety, reliability, legality and consistency
  • Proving the potency and purity of a product, as the struggles of being consistent may vary with plants and crops

Additional Medicine-Making: We Will Discuss with Recipes and One Demo. (You will be given the 4 to 5 recipes and instructions for products to make on your own).

Zoom Software Requirements: This is an online course that requires Zoom webinar software. Zoom is easy to use.

  • Medicine-Making with Cannabis Hemp Plants

    Informative and very interesting. I recommend for anyone interested in alternatives to traditional medicine. I love this plant and believe in the science. the samples we took home were ample. I've been using the lotion on some sore spots where i think i'm developing arthritis. Whether real or psychosomatic, i have relief. i was concerned about sitting in a class for all those hours but it went by quickly -- which means the content was interesting and the class was well paced.
