What could be better than learning about herbs, health, and alternative medicine? Learning about them for free! So here at the Co-op, we decided to create a monthly Wellness Class Series for anyone who wishes to come and learn about health and wellness.

The classes will be held at the Co-op in the deli once a month and will be geared towards educating participants and providing information about a variety of health and wellness issues. All classes will start at 6:30 p.m., and will last for an hour or more.  Seating will be limited, so please sign up for classes by the bulletin board near the beer cooler. Also, please bring a pen and paper for note taking!

The first class of the series will be at 6:30 p.m., Monday, April 28 with our very own Sequoia Ladd, the herb buyer here at the Co-op. She will talk about the difference between tonics and detoxifying, when these approaches are appropriate, and how to use them. She will also discuss how certain traditions use whole foods, herbs, hydrotherapy, and exercise in these practices.

Some other practitioners who will be teaching classes at the Co-op include April Rubino, Dr. Ng, Candace Magnuson, and Dr. Jaeggli. Please check our website at www.moscowfood.coop and the newsletter each month for more info about upcoming classes. We hope to see you there!
