VIRTUAL HERBALISM CONFERENCE - DAY 3
The Energetic Patterns of Disease in Healing Systems Across Cultures with Kat Maier
Join renowned herbalist, educator, and author Kat Maier for a grounded exploration of energetic herbalism in clinical practice. With decades of experience and her role as a lead teacher at Ecoversity, Kat guides us into the heart of assessment—where patterns of imbalance reveal themselves through real people and real concerns. This class explores how to recognize energetic patterns and translate them into thoughtful herb selection, formulation, and daily practice. Whether you’re brand new to energetics or refining an advanced practice, prepare to widen your energetic lens.
Discussion Highlights:
- Intake flow for identifying energetic patterns and key assessment techniques
- Constitution versus condition, distinguishing baseline temperament from the current disease pattern
- Untangling mixed energetic presentations without overcomplicating assessment
- Common heat and cold presentations, associated conditions, and herb categories used
- Warming strategies that restore balance and vitality
- Common damp and dry patterns and herbal approaches used to address them
- How emotional and nervous system states show energetically and integrating mind–tissue dialogue into practice
