Grandmother Medicine is a series of classes to support the rekindling of practical folk-medicine, connection with the natural world, and empowerment through wisdom.
On the first Thursday evening of the month, beginning in June, 2025, classes will be held at the Maine Seacoast Mission in Cherryfield, Maine, led by Community Herbalist and Wellness Practitioner & Mentor, Jennifer May. Classes will run about 90 minutes, with a one hour presentation followed by time for questions and answers. Classes are currently scheduled for June, July, & August, with more classes to be added for fall and winter, if there is interest.
The intention of the Grandmother Medicine series is to share wisdom about various health subjects, to learn about supports and practices that can bring greater wellness and well being to individuals, and to bring a greater presence of folk medicine practices into communities. Through the weaving together of tradition and science focusing on local flora, shared in storytelling fashion, guests will find that folk medicine is approachable and practical.
Classes begin at 6pm and will run to about 7:30pm. They will be held in the Ed and Connie Graves Center building (the first building on the right after pulling into the parking lot.)
Pre-Registration is requested. Class minimum is 3 participants, maximum is 20.
Classes are donation based, with a recommended scale of $5-$20.
Please note that while donations are encouraged, no one will be turned away regardless of financial ability.
Current schedule is below. Class topics are subject to change.
