FREE - The Poisoner's Apothecary - Halloween Lecture
An All Hallows’ Eve Lecture with Clinical Herbal Therapist Petra Sovcov.
As the veil between worlds thins and the night grows long, we invite you into the shadowed corners of the apothecary—where medicine and mayhem have always walked hand in hand.
Join us on October 30th at 6pm PST for an evening steeped in folklore, mystery, and the beguiling history of poisonous plants.
From the venomous whispers of belladonna and henbane to the deadly elegance of aconite, humanity has long danced with danger in pursuit of healing, power, and enchantment. These plants, both feared and revered, have written themselves into our tales of witches, physicians, and tricksters alike.
In this spellbinding lecture, Petra Sovcov, Clinical Herbal Therapist and Doctor of Natural Medicine, will unravel their dark reputations, sharing how these infamous botanicals have been used across centuries—whether to heal the suffering body, alter the mind, or conjure a little well-placed mischief.
Expect a journey through history’s apothecaries, witches’ brews, and poisoner’s cabinets.
Learn how the line between medicine and poison is drawn—and blurred.
Leave with knowledge equal parts eerie and enlightening, perfect for the season of shadows.
