About the event
Looking for natural ways to transform your mental and physical health and wellbeing? The people at Down to Earth Natural Health on Ormond Rd are hosting Dr Corin Storkey (PhD – Med Chem) and Sally Huapaya, who is a native Peruvian of Andean descent, with a Bachelor in engineering and ancestral knowledge of traditional Peruvian medicinal plants and Andean/Amazonian cosmovision. They will discuss ancient plant medicines and rituals from Peru that have been used as nootropics to enhance cognitive function and bring about transformative neuroplastic brain change. Learn about the receptors in the brain responsible for emotions and how plants can interact with each to create conscious altering sensory experiences. Understand the ritual aspect of mental health and how you can create intention with plants and project your intentions into the universe to manifest into positive change. Hear stories of how plant medicine like maca, cacao, san pedro, coca, ayahuasca are traditionally prepared and used and how modern neuroscience is being used to explain these ancient traditions and transformation.
