Led by Rachel Budde

In Reclaim the Flame, Fat and the Moon founder and herbalist Rachel Budde explores the threads connecting historical witch persecution to the modern experience of burnout. Through the lenses of history, physiology, and botanical medicine, Rachel examines how external pressures become internalized in our bodies, and how we might reclaim the regenerative power of the flame.

This class isn't about becoming resilient enough to tolerate more extraction. It's about reclaiming the vitality, discernment, and capacity to decide where our energy goes.

From the workings of the nervous system to the wisdom of botanical allies, this recorded class offers an exploration of restoration, boundaries, and our relationship with the demands of the world around us.

This is a pre-recorded digital class and our purchase includes unlimted assess for viewing along with a downloadable Class Companion & Notes, featuring an overview of the class's central themes, botanical allies, reflection prompts, and space to gather your own thoughts along the way.
