Julie Cordero-Lamb was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, went 
to the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, and moved back 
to her mother's hometown, Santa Barbara, California, in 1996. She 
has been studying and using the plants - native, naturalized, and 
invasive - for food, medicine, and textiles for 13 years. Julie has 
been a practicing bioregional herbalist for 9 years, specializing in 
sustainably gathering and using the locally abundant plants found in 
Southern California fields, empty lots, driveways and backyards. She 
is an enrolled member of the Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation; 
however, her primary herb teachers have been herbalists from other 
California tribes, non-Indian herb elders, and of course, the plants 
themselves. She is currently taking a year off from her doctoral 
work in Religious Studies at UCSB in order to be a mom for her infant 
daughter, Lena.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Zone One Medicine - also called "Slow Medicine" by its creators, 
Sequoia Ladd and Julie Cordero-Lamb - is the art of safely and 
effectively using the plant medicines that are already in your home, 
yard, and immediate neighborhood in order to fill some of the gaping 
holes left by our current health care system. Unlike many systems of 
herbal healing, Zone One is low- to no-cost, and demonstrates that 
locally abundant plants are fresher (and therefore more potent) and 
just as effective as commercially available herbs that are "far 
sought and dearly bought." Our system uses the 12 principles of 
Permaculture as developed by David Holmgren, adds a 13th principle, 
and applies those same principles for cultivating a healthy body that 
is embedded in knowledgeble, physical intimacy with the land where we 
live, whether that's a cramped apartment, a homeless shelter, or a 
house with a yard. This class does not teach advanced internal 
botanical medicine. Instead, people are given a hands-on opportunity 
to reclaim the folk heritage lived by moms and dads, aunts, uncles, 
grandmas and grandpas the world over as they care for their 
families. This is the backyard medicine that everyone's grandma used 
to know.
