Public Invited to an Evening Talk  with this Author, Teacher and Shaman

Herbalists, healers, naturalists and the general public will be interested in meeting Eliot Cowan when he comes to Stone Ridge on Wednesday, December 13th at 7:15 p.m.  Mr. Cowan, who is a Tsaurirrikame -- a fully initiated shaman in the Huichol tradition, will speak to the community about healing, plant spirits, and the search for warmth and connection in our hectic world.

Mr. Cowan was a licensed acupuncturist when he synthesized herbalism, Chinese Five-Element theory and shamanism into a healing modality called “Plant Spirit Medicine” in the early 1980s.  His book, “Plant Spirit Medicine” (Swan Raven & Co.) captivated readers with its new look at some very old methods of healing, methods that seek not to simply relieve symptoms but to correct imbalances at their core.

Since then, Mr. Cowan has taught Plant Spirit Medicine to hundreds of students in the U.S., Great Britain and Canada.  He will begin a new course series in New York at the Blue Deer Center, beginning in May, 2006 and one near Moab, Utah beginning in August 2007.  

The public is invited to meet Mr. Cowan for an evening of talk on Wednesday, December 13th at 7:15 pm.  The event is free.  For location information contact Lena Hilton at 845- 434-0520 or at   happytrails@catskill.net.
