COURSE OVERVIEW

This module examines the scope of healing evident in Irish legend, myth, and the middle ages.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

It is the second course in the complete series: The Irish Healing Tradition. The module consists of three webinars that explore the different healing practices in the legends, myths, and the middle ages.

The course offers an insight into the seamless integration of spiritual healing into therapeutic practice and the acceptance of a spirit world. Throughout the course, we will unpack the therapeutic practices evident in the legends and the worldview that prevailed during this time period.

ICTIM offer a thorough, robust 3-pronged approach to Herbal studies - encompassing science, including an in-depth grounding in the biological systems - and delves deeply into herbs themselves and herbal learning. But the course also considers Irish folklore and Irish traditional indigenous herbal medicine. Anyone wishing to develop a greater knowledge of herbal medicine or interested in practicing should consider this course.
Rosari and Anna-Maria's monthly webinars are inspiring, I am in awe of their love for all things herbal, their knowledge and empathy to students.
