Closing Circle & Giveaway

At the Closing Circle we say thank you.  We have adopted the custom of asking everyone to bring a small gift to place on a blanket which will be at the center of the circle.  Then each of us, in turn, takes something from the blanket - a remembrance of this lovely day.

Please bring something to share at the giveaway.

 NOTE:  All activities will be held outdoors.  Please dress accordingly.  Should the weather be bad, workshops will be held indoors.

The Herbalist Association of Nova Scotia (HANS), was formed in 2002 by a group of herbalists keen to network and educate themselves and the public about the safe and effective use of herbal medicine; the importance of ethical wild gathering; and of safeguarding the ecosystems where local plant medicine grows.  HANS has members throughout Nova Scotia and beyond.
