[Nordskogen] “A WALK THROUGH A MEDIEVAL HERB GARDEN"

[Shava]

I promised Lady Gwynedd of Caer Anterth Mawr that I'd share this information
with the lists since it was kind of on topic. Since I don't want to mess
with the attachment on these lists, I'll do some cut-n-pasting from the
press release she sent me.

*"A WALK THROUGH A MEDIEVAL **HERB** **GARDEN**"
*

Mary Moskoff, Ph.D., LCSW, will take us back in time to the Middle Ages with
her talk, *"A Walk Through a **Medieval** **Herb** **Garden**", *at the* *
annual* Spring Symposium *presented by the* Herb Society of America -
Wisconsin Unit *on March 10, 2007 at the Woman's Club of Wisconsin, 813
Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53202.**

Travel back to the Middle Ages to explore and experience the importance of
herbs in everyday life and their tie to labyrinths.  Herbs in those days
were not only culinary devices, but healers, comforters, cures, charms and
cleansers for soul and body. Similarly, walks through the winding path of
the labyrinth, with no tricks or dead ends, brought joy and nourishment to
the soul and remedied sorrows.  Learn about the purpose and uses of medieval
herbs. Participate in a contemplative walk on an ancient path of a
Chartres-style labyrinth.  Discover where medieval gardens can still be
visited today*
*

Mary Moskoff is a trained and certified labyrinth facilitator.  She has made
many trips to Chartres, France to participate in labyrinth training on the
famous Chartres Cathedral labyrinth.  She has visited several medieval herb
gardens in Europe as well as the United States .
