Bevin will be presenting at the Herbal Medicine Conference 2020 on 11th October at 3.30PM.
She has called her session "Buds, Flowers and Thorns: Gems gathered on practice, teaching and success as a Clinical Herbalist". She has summarised her session below:
There are many ways of learning, and knowing, as we navigate our paths as herbalists. Join Bevin as she shares some of the gems she has collected from teachers and her experiences over 25 years of teaching and clinical practice. Designed to support the beginner or advanced clinicians and educator, the information shared will be practical in nature and applicable to daily work. Opportunities to share your own gems will be provided, as each one of us brings wisdom to the table.Â
