Keep your eyes posted here (or your RSS, whichever) for periodic meetings and courses over the winter, but otherwise DC Stav Club Martial Practice on the Mall is on haiatus until April.

I’d love to keep on meeting until the end of the month, but i’ve had no response to rsvp request for this week and I’m in Minnesota next week and there won’t be much left of the month after that.

We’ve never offered this course in this country before, so come out to Moonfire UUCA tonight at 7:30 to learn about how herbs integrate into the Stav mind/body/spirit system.

Tein seid – Herbalism in Stav (1.5 hr) – Using alternate translations of the words,Tein Seid means ‘thorough knowledge of the plants’. This course covers the stav approach to herbalism via the 18 Trees and Herbs and their applications on the Mott (physical body) and Megin (energy body) . This course  extends from finding and gathering herbs to their uses in the body to their magical uses (charms etc) . The student should expect to leave with a good idea of the use of herbs and trees in Stav and even with one or two recipes for common ailments.
