Emergency Preparedness (1)

Steven was originally led to the study of herbal medicine as a teenager after he had a spiritual experience in which he saw the collapse of the electrical grid. He spent much of his teenage years learning about edible and medicinal plants as part of outdoor survival and has long been interested in emergency preparedness. This series of webinars covers various aspects of emergency preparedness, including knowledge and skills herbalists can acquire to be of help in emergencies and natural disasters. These webinars teach about identifying local plants and how they would be used but also cover topics like food storage, emergency supplies, and dealing with people's mental and emotional states in a crisis.
