Class 2 - Singing Your Medicine with Brittany Jade - Medicine songs, Ikaros, and chanting of all kinds are integral to, and in many cases inseparable from, the preparation and administration of medicinal Herbal Allies. During this class we will learn about the importance of channeling your voice and sound in ways that invite the Spirits of the Plant Nations into our Herbal preparations. Pusanga is a traditional herbal preparation which is integral to many traditional Indigenous humans of the Amazon. In many cases, the pusanga(s) become another "vehicle" through which the participant in the ceremony receives the Ikaros (medicine songs) of the Shaman. Each participant in this class will have the opportunity to prepare their own pusanga in a traditional manner with Herbal Allies .

Join us for this invaluable and exciting class series, dedicated to all of the Benevolent Plant Spirits.
