READING THE BODY

with American Herbalist & Author Margi Flint

Sun 14th - Mon 15th April 2024

10am - 5 pm

Melilotus Herb Farm, Lagos

​

Margi Flint is a treasure trove of valuable information and a fascinating distillation of the wisdom gained during her practice as a herbalist of almost 50 years, in the theory and practice of running a thriving herbal practice and clinic.

​

THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR ANYONE WANTING TO REFINE THEIR HERBAL ASSESSMENT VIA SPECIFIC OBSERVATION AND PRESENTING SIGNS.

​

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Indications of the face, fingernails, toes, and tongue. What do your thinning eyebrows mean? Why is there a crease in your earlobe? Each colour, line and marking on the face, tongue and nails holds meaning of your internal health. Margi will be explaining and demonstrating diagnostic techniques taught to her by the late William LeSassier. In knowing what the body has to say, we can learn how to prevent illness before it arrives as well as treating what is here.This seminar will consist of both lecture and hands-on learning with ample opportunity for questions to understand what your body is saying to you.

 

MARGI TELLS YOU WHAT TO EXPECT FROM HER WORKSHOP:

Reading the body’s colors, lines, facial, tongue and fingernail changes offers practitioners
confirmation, or better still, initial direction for the herbs to be consumed. Some of these
indications change when better health is achieved. To understand the importance of visual
indications has been the foundation of my practice. Face, tongue and fingernails, toes, colours and the wide variety of lines and their depth is crucial for accurate understanding of energetic health.

 

The physical body cannot be separated from the spiritual or mental aspects of self.

Those skills taught by the late William LeSassier and then new indications from David Winston, and then Matthew Wood, have allowed me to find compliance with clients, narrow down the decisions about which herbs to employ with each client, and confirm my thoughts around which endocrine gland, organ system, or emotional state is under duress. The energetics appear on, in, and into words in unique ways with each person who sits before me.

 

I do believe this skill needs to be introduced early in herbal studies.

“With all the skill of a master alchemist, Margi weaves together her years of experience as an herbal practitioner with the best of the teachings and the teachers she’s studied with. She stirs in just the right amount of honey, a bit of sass, and a healthy dollop of humor to bring us one of the most eminently useful books on herbal practice available today. There’s so much wisdom here, so much depth, and so much practical information distilled into these remarkably interesting pages. But even more, there’s so much generosity of spirit as Margi invites us into her heart and home and shares with us her deeply personal journey as an herbal practitioner.”
- Rosemary Gladstar, Herbalist and Author

“What a pleasure and a treasure to have all of Margi’s wisdom, experience and ever-useful insights into the art and practice of herbalism. This book will not only serve students and teachers of herbs, but all consumers of health care in search of good medicine.”
- Kathleen Maier, Sacred Plant Traditions

“What a great accumulation of vital observation and herbal tidbits! In addition, I see it as a very useful reference for practicing herbalists searching for specific information on facial, tongue, and pulse conformation. A good guide on how to sort information from the client intake. This book will be a wonderful addition to the many books already in the herbalist’s library.”
- Gail Julian, Herbalist Director Clinical Herbalist Training Program California School of
Herbal Studies
