Native plants as medicine: This is a rare opportunity to learn in the field with students of Chumash Medicine Woman Cecilia Garcia (RIP).
Enrique Villaseñor (SOSR) is a student of her apprentice, USC Prof. James Adams, and all are co-authors of Healing with Medicinal Plants of the West. This session focuses on MEDICINAL PLANTS.

Students will learn specific recipes for making foot soaks, liniments, and other herbal medicines.
Villaseñor is a multi-ethnic healer, naturalist, and author with Indigenous ancestry.
He learned traditional healing from his mother and USC Prof. Emeritus James Adams.
As part of this process, he has researched and taught traditional healing, participated in field studies, co-authored several papers with Dr. Adams, and co-authored the fourth edition of Healing with Medicinal Plants of the West.

In his 35 years as a teacher, Villasenor taught elementary, middle, and adult school, and was an instructional advisor focused on training teachers.
Among many other achievements, working with several agencies, he designed, built, and maintained the award-winning El Oro Way Habitat, a two-acre, outdoor classroom of primarily California native plants and trees.
We’ll discuss some of the ideal literature about healing with herbs, and some of the herbs that can be grown in one's own backyard. Books will be available, as well as pre-made herbal liniments.
If there are special requests, let us know ahead of time.
