SUMMARY:Summer Medicinal Plant Workshop with Professor Emeritus James Adams of USC School of Pharmacy
DESCRIPTION:Summer Medicinal Plant Workshop with Professor Emeritus James Adams of USC School of Pharmacy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Adams making a point about elder flowers \n\n\n\nJump to registration\n\n\n\nPlease join me and special guest Professor Emeritus James Adams of USC School of Pharmacy for a Summer Medicinal Plant Workshop in Ojai on Sunday\, June 23\, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dr. Adams has been a popular presenter at my events for the past 12 years. Now that he has moved to the Bay Area\, he is here less frequently. This may be his only Ojai workshop this year so I encourage you to learn from him when you have the opportunity. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis workshop is based on Jim’s ground-breaking pharmacological studies on local native plants and his personal commitment to sharing the traditional medicinal practices he learned from Chumash healer Cecilia Garcia. Jim will be joined by plant educator Enrique Villaseñor and acupuncturist Michelle Wong\, co-authors with him of Healing with Medicinal Plants of the West: Cultural and Scientific Basis for Their Use\, Fourth Edition.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe morning plant walk will take place from 10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m at the Chumash Garden at Ojai Valley Museum\, a native plant demonstration garden in downtown Ojai. Dr. Adams and I will identify and discuss the medicinal and spiritual uses of a variety of native plants. This will be a short\, slow-paced walk with frequents stops by the plants for periods of time. A lightweight campstool or beach chair could be useful for those who are uncomfortable standing.  \n\n\n\nAfter a 1- hour break\, the afternoon session in Fisher Hall at St. Andrews Episcopal Church from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. will focus on preparing seasonal edible and medicinal products from wild foraged plant material. Participants will be able to soak their feet in pain-relieving black sage tea and go home with their own jar of sagebrush liniment that they prepared themselves. After the workshop\, participants will receive a follow-up email with a complete list of all plants that are identified or utilized as well as recipes and other info.  \n\n\n\nSeasonal plants and healing products to be featured may include\, among others: \n\n\n\n\nElder flowers\n\n\n\nEverlasting flowers\n\n\n\nWhite Sage\n\n\n\nMugwort\n\n\n\nSagebrush liniment\n\n\n\nDatura hand soak\n\n\n\nBlack Sage foot soak\n\n\n\nNopal (Prickly-Pear) smoothie\n\n\n\n\nAt 4:00 p.m. Dr. Adams\, Enrique\, and Michelle will sign copies of their book and I will sign copies of mine\, Medicinal Herbs of California: A Field Guide to Common Healing Plants. \n\n\n\nACUPUNCTURE CEUs: This course is approved by the California Acupuncture Board\, Provider Number 1526\, for 6 hours of continuing education. There is a $25 processing fee for receiving a CEU certificate. Please indicate on the REGISTRATION form BELOW if you are interested in CEUs.  If you have one\, please enter your acupuncture school discount code on the form. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT JAMES ADAMS\, PH.D: \n\n\n\nDr. Adams brings to Ojai a wealth of scientific knowledge and field experience as well as a singular perspective on herbal medicine. As he tells it\, “My family came to Virginia in 1635 and has always survived by using American Indian healing. On the frontier\, there were no doctors. American Indian healing was better than European medicine anyway. I continue this tradition.” \n\n\n\nDr. Adams is the co-author\, with Michelle Wong and Enrique Villaseñor\, of the fourth edition of the groundbreaking book\, Healing with Medicinal Plants of the West: Cultural and Scientific Basis for Their Use. The cultural portion is based on the teachings of Cecilia Garcia and the scientific portion on Dr. Adams’ laboratory studies. It can be purchased beforehand at that link and will also be available for purchase and signing at the event. \n\n\n\nAs an Associate Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Southern California for 32 years\, Dr. Adams taught pharmacy students\, medical students\, doctors and other healthcare professionals while researching the natural pharmaceutical compounds in native plants. He has over 200 publications. \n\n\n\nRunning parallel with his academic career\, Dr. Adams has worked with the Chumash people since 1998 and studied Chumash healing with Cecilia Garcia for almost 15 years. In addition to the book\, they collaborated on 30 journal articles. Jim is now the carrier of the healing knowledge passed to him by his teacher. \n\n\n\n“Humans have used plant medicines ever since humans came into existence\, about 200\,000 years ago\,” Dr. Adams explains in Healing with Medicinal Plants. “That means that our ancestors experienced an intense natural selection. Those who responded to plant medicines survived and passed their genes on. We are the products of this natural selection. Our bodies are designed to respond to plant medicines.” \n\n\n\nHere is an excellent 2017 article about Dr. Adams from USCStorySpace.com: “A Scientist’s Calling to Practice Chumash Healing.” \n\n\n\nPlease note: This workshop will go on RAIN OR SHINE with the exception of a heavy downpour in the morning and/or a 100% chance of heavy rain that day. No dogs or smoking\, please.Paid registrants will receive a confirmation email about a week prior to the workshop with all necessary info\, including weather forecast and parking directions.  They also will receive a follow-up email afterwards with a list of all plants identified and used\, recipes\, and more. \n\n\n\nThe cost for the workshop\, including all materials\, is $100. There is an added $25 processing fee to receive a CEU certificate for licensed California acupuncturists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION\n\n\n\nPlease REGISTER HERE FIRST before completing payment below. \n\n\n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.\n\n\n    \n\n\n        \n        \n        \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nPlease be sure to REGISTER above before completing payment to secure your space.\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote: Online payment includes a PayPal fee.
