On March 11, 2020 the Sonoma County Herb Association held a free Event.. We gathered six holistic practitioners and teachers from our community from different schools of thought- Herbalism, Acupuncture, East-West Herbalism, Naturopathy, Aromatherapy , Ayurveda and more. The discussion was chalked with needed information on ways to empower yourself and your community through these times.

The Sonoma County Herb Association is a 501c3 non profit. Our program fosters community amoung herbalists and farmers, functioning as a focal point for the herbal community in Sonoma county and beyond. We love bringing our community together!

started watching this video. was horrified to see these healers sitting close together, the audience sitting even closer, and the panel members passing the microphone down the line, hand to hand. Decided they were not taking this as seriously as i was at the point in time that the symposium was held, so didn't listen to the rest. may go back to listen later (just in case i can pick up some tips), when i complete other priorities! Would love to know that there was no virus at the symposium, as i would have easily spread ....

Always nice to be thanked

If you noted the date of the actual symposium, 3/11, it was 6 days before shelter-in-place was begun, etc...

LOVED the symposium.. Thank you and all the others who presented...

People are scared... and it can be hard to 'see' clearly... Don't take the criticism personally.

I'm sure it was a great Symposium, and i will go back later and watch more of it. And I didn't mean to be harsh --- I was just so surprised and stunned that a reaction flew off my fingers! I know that the shelter-in-place order came later ... but by the first of March, based on the news, my husband and I had already begun the procedures that are now in place -- and hand-sanitizer was already unavailable for less than "scalper" prices.

Maybe it was just old people, like us, who were already sheltering-in-place long before the order to do so had come down. I just figured that health professionals would know at least as much as I did, at that point in time! I do appreciate the effort and intention that went into the symposium and regret making a comment that could be hurtful to people simply trying to help others.
