Sean is available to give workshops on herbalism and to provide Reiki instruction.
The descriptions below are just a sampling of possible workshops -- let Sean know if you are interested in a workshop on another
set of health issues. E-mail Sean at seandonahuepoet@gmail.com to discuss setting up a workshop. Fees depend on the size and location of the worskshop.
GREEN MEDICINE
We are brought up to believe that health care is something we receive from
doctors who give us drugs made in factories to fix the broken down machines we call our bodies. But for most people around
the world throughout history, our bodies and the world around them were alive, and medicine came from the plants that grew
from the ground where they lived, helping their bodies find what they needed to exchange balance. Everyone knew
a little bit about what the plants had to give, and a few in each village learned to talk to the plants and unlock their secrets.
Herbalist Sean Donahue leads groups through the history of how and
why this original science and art of wild green medicine was suppressed, how it was kept alive at the edges of our culture,
and how all of us can begin bringing it back into our lives to heal our bodies, our spirits, our communities, and our planet.
COMMON SENSE ABOUT FLUS AND PANDEMICS
(OR HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE JAPANESE KNOTWEED)
There is lots of frightening and confusing information in the press and online about
"Swine Flu" right now. And panic itself can be a factor in the spread of disease as stress first amps up and then wears
down our immune systems. Herbalist Sean Donahue helps put the threat in perspective and
gives practical solutions for preventing and treating flus and other viral infections using the plants that grow around us
-- including the Japanese Knotweed so many are trying to get off their land!
HERBS FOR STRESS
The daily stresses of living in a culture that is so wildly out of balance take their toll
on our bodies over time. Herbalist Sean Donahue explains the biology of stress -- how it plays out in our bodies and how it
contributes to disease. And he shares how herbs, nutrition, meditation, and lifestyle changes can help our bodies, minds,
and spirits deal better with the frustrations, anxieties, and fears that are part and parcel of living in these times.
REIKI INSTRUCTION
Ki is a universal energy, constantly flowing around and through us. Access
to it is everyone's birth right.
Sean offers individual and group instruction to help people learn to work with this
energy. As a Reiki Master Teacher he also performs attunments -- simple rituals that open the recipient to working with ki
on various levels.
Basic instruction is offered to anyone with a sincere commitment to working to heal themselves,
others, and the planet. An interview is required for those seeking second or third level instruction and attunements. Students
of other teachers and traditions are welcome to apply to study with Sean.
As with Reiki sessions, no one will be turned
away for lack of money and barter is joyfully accepted.
Discounts are available for people who recruit a group of
at least four students.
