Witch Burning, Burnout & Botanical Medicine

Class: Reclaim the Flame

Course

Description

The European witch hunts were not simply a case of superstition run amok. They unfolded against a backdrop of political upheaval, economic instability, and systems of power that made the witch a convenient scapegoat for society's misfortunes.

Centuries later, the pyres have gone inward. The forces that keep us exhausted, afraid, and disconnected from our own power are hardly ancient history.

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.

Your purchase also includes 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.
