It is important to prepare for fire season ahead of time. In this class, we will address the effect of fire and smoke on our body systems and discuss ways to circumvent physiological and emotional long term damage. We will go over specific herbs and their applications. Utilizing holistic, herbal, and other practices we will discuss preparing for fire seasons in advance and supporting ourselves throughout.
Some topics we'll discuss include
- Long term and acute respiratory support
- Emotional support for fire season and post fire recovery

- Social justice issues related to fire season
- Planning for fire

Recordings
Welcome to Class! The live version of this class began the morning after the lightning that ignited the Lightening Complex fires. It was a potent time to hold the class and also not without it's challenges. Please bear with the technical difficulties in the first minute of the recording. It get's better!
