From 7Song
I have been studying plants, people and herbal medicine for over 20 years now. My interest first started as a youngster with a fascination for things natural, beginning with astronomy, moving into herpetology and later into plants and medicine. And all of this in the suburbs of Long Island, NY
In my twenties, I began studying herbal medicine’s many aspects more throroughly, including botany (an abiding love here), plants as medicine (materia medica), physiology, medicine making, wildcrafting, clinical work, and the like.
To further elucidate my herbal education, I attended the California School of Herbal Studies with Rosemary Gladstar in 1983 and later the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine with Michael Moore in 1994 and 1995. Along the way I went to as many herbal conferences as possible (sliding my way in through work exchange in the early years). There I would listen to the many opinions and teaching styles of the herbalists speaking. A vibrant education in many respects.
One of the reasons I have been involved in herbal medicine for all these years are the teachers, students, peers and friends I meet in this community. Many open-minded, critical thinkers who are a pleasure and learning experience to be around.
The plants themselves are one of my favorite aspects of herbal medicine. Spending time traveling and meeting as many plants as possible is one of the great parts of being an herbalist. Seeing and gathering the plants we use as medicine makes herbalism unique, and offers a direct and ancient relationship we have with our medicine. They are beautiful down to their anthers and stigmas.
I currently teach at many schools and conferences throughout the United States, which gives me the opportunity to see the varied ways that herbal knowledge is passed on. I am honored to be a part of passing this information along.
I see being an herbalist as a political path, meaning a way to encourage community, and change some of the status quo, especially the ways medicine is currently practiced. I feel that being herbalists we can be a great boon to our communities, whether just among our friends, the towns we live in, or wherever we are and whomever we are talking to. The art of being able to assess people’s health difficulties, and to then help them with plants we have gathered or better yet, plants they have gathered and processed into medicine, is a beautiful thing. I feel this knowledge helps with healing in ways beyond just the gross physical healing process. Knowing that we can help ourselves and those around us with at least some of our physical tribulations, can increase our connection to the world of people and nature. And this is knowledge and skill we can pass on freely to the people we meet.
Taking digital photos of plants has become a favored pastime (much to the consternation of friends walking with me), and it is a gratifying to finally have a place to display them, here on this website.
Ithaca Free Clinic
I am a herbal practitioner and Director of Holistic Medicine at the Ithaca Free Clinic. It is deeply satisfying to be a part of this clinic. Working here has allowed me to be a part of something I wholeheartedly believe in,free medicine. And in the long-run to slowly work towards a true integrative model of health care, here and elsewhere. For more about the Ithaca Free Clinic, please see under ‘Free Clinic’.
Me and a Toad in the mid-1960’s
Northeast School of Botanical Medicine
I have been creating, teaching and directing The Northeast School of Botanical Medicine for 13 years. It is something I value doing. It allows me the opportunity to teach the herbal information that I have gleaned over the years, and a chance to share my passion for plants, herbal medicine and community. It is also a learning experience for myself as new people constantly enter my life with what they have learned on their journey’s. It is a pleasure to see people start to heartily wrap their minds and hands around the intricacies of herbal medicine and I am thankful to be a part of their path.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope that whichever way you head, that you see and feel the beauty of the plants around you

Yoga Alliance Certified
February 23 – March 18, 2016
July 4 – 28, 2016
with Adya and Velan
The PachaMama (Costa Rica) yoga teacher training embraces a holistic approach to the path of Yoga. Combining the wisdom of traditional yoga lineage with contemporary understanding of the body, emotional system, and spiritual practices, this training serves as a platform for self-inquiry and ignites a process of genuine transformation.
The union of contemporary healing modalities woven within this ancient form, deepens the experience of what yoga truly is – an art of living, with the clear intention to know oneself and align with truth.
Various forms of healing practices are used in this training to awaken authentic expression and connect us to our inner landscape. This exploratory work includes free form movement, breath work, and a subtle body practice called primal pulse which initiates a personal movement exploration that reveals the body’s mysteries. These profound tools activate a deeper understanding of the body’s innate wisdom, allowing one to become more embodied within the yoga practice.
This in-depth training experience supports the shift towards embracing life with awareness, acceptance of oneself, the recognition of oneness and reverence for the earth.
One unique aspect of this training is that it is held in PachaMama.
This 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified residential training will be supported by the unique expression of village life, and the inspiration of a vibrant spiritual community where people meet life in an authentic and sacred way.
In addition to techniques and training of asana, pranayama,
anatomy / physiology, teaching methodology, and yoga philosophy other
tools of the training will include
– Ayurvedic asessement
– Pranic healing breathwork
– Healing sounds and toning, chanting, mantra
– Tantra exploration
– Earth prayer/ sweatlodges
– Conscious communication
– The art of mindful touch and holding space
– Various forms of meditation.

TESTIMONIALS ON THE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
With unspeakable beauty and humility, Adya and Velan open the mysteries and teachings of the many facets of yoga in a magical weave that brings deep transformation, rich understandings, and palpable evolutionary waves.
– Shakti (California, USA)
To describe this teacher training is beyond words. I could never have prepared for the transformation I experienced. Adya and Velan gave their whole hearts to this training and i am forever grateful for this experience. I will never forget it!
– Brigette (Las Vegas, USA)
THE TRAINERS
Adya
Adya’s graceful meditative style draws on a diverse range of influences and forms. She first trained as a teacher in the Vinyasa flow style at the White Lotus Foundation in California. Here she began a period of seven years of study and training while teaching at various yoga studios in California and Seattle.
While the flowing form of graceful Vinyasa is very present in her style, the soft restorative form of yin yoga brings a meditative aspect with gentle opening and melting into the asana. Here it is about surrender and breath, witnessing presence. While she has also trained extensively in pre-natal yoga, her most formative training took place at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Madras, India where she studied yoga therapy.
This work with Adya provides a sacred container to rest in presence and meet whatever arises, shedding layers of contraction and attachment, and embracing the simplicity of the moment. Witnessing presence unveils a natural movement towards wholeness, where thought, sensation and emotion are met equally in the field of awareness, and the awake presence beneath the movement of life shines with beauty.
Velan
Velan is deeply influenced by the discipline of Master Zhen Hua Yang, a Shaolin monk trained and guided in the temples of China. This lineage holds the energy of over 400 years, through the people who served as guardians of the Chinese Emperor. Velan shares layers of this lineage as a 3 dimensional form fusing Tai Chi, Qi Gong and traditional Hatha yoga to awaken internal power, vitality and stillness in motion. This form reveals a dynamic synergy between internal power and deep integrative moments of stillness. Connecting to the body’s innate wisdom, its desire to move and heal is the foundation of his teaching.
Unifying various styles into a creative flow of movement, he has been influenced through the study of Vinyasa Flow, Sivananda Yoga, and Yoga therapy With Simon Borg Oliver. He studied Ayurvedic Medicine in Kerala India, functional movement training in Sydney Australia and has anchored a deeper understanding of the body through the study of various forms of healing work.
In Pachamama YTT Velan shares his passion of Calligraphy Yoga, Ayurvedic principles of health and assessment, functional movement, energetic cultivation, healing and free form movement.

Course Description:
The adventure begins with a group pick up from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport. All participants must arrive before 1:00 p.m. onFebruary 29th, or you may be picked up from the airport hotel if you fly in the night before. From there, you will take the drive to La Carolina Lodge, nestled on the eastern slopes of Volcano Tenorio, the home of the famous Rio Celeste waterfall, in northwestern Costa Rica. You will spend three nights basking in the raw beauty of the jungle and mountains at La Carolina Lodge before heading to the beach.
We believe yoga retreats are about immersing yourself in a new place, going deep into your yoga practice and cultivating community wherever you are! That’s why we skip the fancy retreat centers that keep you detached from local culture, and jump right into exploring the authentic nature of our surroundings! This Diez Monos retreat offers the best of what incredible Costa Rica has to offer. We’ll spend time unwinding in the healing energy of the mountains, then head to the beach for energizing sunshine and open waters. We will have the grand opportunity to experience Costa Rica in it’s raw and natural forms, while learning to co-exist with our organic surroundings. Morning yoga and meditation practices next to a peaceful river or overlooking the vast Pacific ocean will allow you to attune your inner nature with outer nature. On top of this, we will have the sweet opportunity to practice Seva (selfless service) in a local Costa Rican community, working with the kids of “Abriendo Mentes”, a local non-profit that provides after school English and skills classes. This community inspired retreat includes…
