Greek Holistic Herbal Wisdom 2: A Five-Day Seminar in Greece

Join Acupuncturists Without Borders for a five-day hands-on herbal seminar in Evia, Greece September 14–19, 2026 (Travel days: September 13 & 19) RSVP to Reserve a Seminar Spot There are a limited number of spots available for seminar participants. If you would like to attend, please RSVP as soon as possible. Payment links will be sent once the form is received. In 2025, AWB and EU acupuncturists embarked on an AWB World Healing Exchange journey in Greece—blending education, service, and exploration of ancient Greek therapies and indigenous herbal medicine practices. Our collaboration with herbalist Maria Skarli and her team at PlantEd was so deeply inspiring that we are returning for more advanced herbal study in 2026. We hope you’ll join us. As a continuation of our online series on essential oils for trauma, anxiety, and stress, this five-day immersive seminar takes place at Falagaki Farm, overlooking the Aegean Sea in Evia, Greece. Participants will work hands-on with Greek medicinal herbs—from identifying seasonal plants in the wild to harvesting, distilling, and extracting their therapeutic properties. Throughout the week, you will craft your own healing products, including herbal oils, beeswax creams, and soaps. You will also learn practical applications such as aromatherapy, compresses, inhalations, sprays, and restorative foot baths. Between sessions, enjoy homemade meals prepared with fresh local produce. Afternoons offer time to relax, including swimming in the Aegean at Limnionas Beach and soaking in the restorative beauty of the Greek countryside.
