Faculty Speaking Engagements Outside of DWCHS Programs

Rich Mandelbaum’s upcoming engagements:

  • Saturday June 20 Basha Kill, Wurtsboro NY. We’ll walk some of the trails that border on this precious protected marsh. We’ll look at everything, but a wonderful place for fern diversity and learning some aquatic and wetland plants. Mostly flat, easy walking, some small hills. Bring your kayak or canoe and stay for the evening solstice paddle (see below)! 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM; $60 for the day, scholarships available. Register at richardmandelbaum.com or email me (see below).

  • Saturday June 20 Solstice Evening Paddle at the Basha Kill, Wurtsboro NY – it’s becoming an annual tradition; we’ll celebrate the summer solstice on the water of this local treasure of protected wetlands and getting to know our local aquatic plants. This is a public event, hosted by the Mamakating Environmental Education Center and is free of charge other than a requested $5 donation to MEEC. BYOB: bring your own (non-motorized) boat! Launch time 6:00 PM. Mark your calendar; register directly with MEEC. Call 845-644-5014, or go here.

  • Sunday June 28, Inwood Park, NYC – Inwood is a wonderful park, a corner of rocky, wooded wild left on the northern tip of Manhattan, with large trees and beautiful views of the Hudson. There are a lot of diverse plants to see and study, and I have usually found good edible mushrooms as well. Inwood is part of Lenapehoking, and there was a Native American presence in what is now Inwood Park into the 20th century; it is a strong and beautiful place. Some uphill, semi-steep trail walking involved. $60 for the day; scholarships available. Register at richardmandelbaum.com or email me (see below). 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM; $60 for the day, scholarships available. Register at richardmandelbaum.com or email me (see below).

David Winston’s 2 year program explores many different herbal modalities, western, TCM, Ayurveda, Native American, and Middle Eastern Unani Tibb. His therapeutic and graduate level programs delve into all the modern health issues, and how to take a deeper dive toward health and wholeness with herbs. He teaches how to do a William LeSassier’s triune formula, which provides an incredibly comprehensive whole body formula tailored specifically for each person’s needs. I found it only monumental and a highly valuable tool for any clinical herbalist’s toolbox.

Interestingly, I was at an American Herbalists Guild symposium while I was still studying with him, and the level of respect I received from the highly esteemed herbalists I met…just for being a student of David Winston’s was almost overwhelming. It most certainly opened my eyes to the level of teacher I was lucky enough to have. And here is a good place to add just how many medical doctors study with him, I think it averages 20 to 30% per class. Clearly he is a true master in his mastery, and I cannot recommend his program enough. It opened my world exponentially, helped me under my body’s functions much better, and started me on a completely different path to health and wellness. If you are on the fence, please do yourself a favor and go for it.
