Saturday & Sunday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Talent, Oregon
The sixth weekend of The Elemental Journey Around the Sun is guided by the Earth element and Late Summer— the energy of harvest, digestion, integration, and the steady center that holds all seasons. As summer transitions toward autumn, we explore nourishment not only as food, but as relationship — how we digest our experiences, tend our intellect, and cultivate balance in the middle ground. This weekend includes a special Breaking Bread Celebration, honoring the harvest season and the community that has formed within the cohort.
Weekend Focus
- The Earth element and its role in balance and integration
- Digestion, nourishment, and the digestive system through an elemental lens
- Herbal support for gut health and assimilation
- The relationship between food, medicine, and emotional grounding
- Community ritual and shared harvest celebration
- Connecting with the soul of the earth element and late summer herbs
- Deepening presence within the “center” of the cycle
Students will explore how herbs and food intersect — and how true nourishment includes physical, emotional, and relational dimensions. As part of the larger 9-month journey, this weekend anchors the learning process, helping students metabolize both knowledge and experience.
Who This Weekend Is For
- Students walking the full seasonal arc
- Herbalists seeking deeper understanding of digestive and grounding energetics
- Practitioners interested in food-as-medicine integration
- Those drawn to the communal and celebratory aspects of herbal study
