Travel at Clayton College 06.1.2006, Alabama—CCNH is pleased to announce its annual fall educational travel opportunity, the Herbal Mountain Medicine Appalachian Tour, September 14-18, 2006. Join staff, students, and herbalism enthusiasts as we explore the traditions of Appalachian folk medicine and the time-honored teachings of Tommie Bass, the herb “doctor” of Shinbone Ridge, Alabama. Adjunct faculty Darryl Patton, N.D., Herbalist will lead you in discovering the legacy of folk remedies handed down by the late Bass, who was a pivotal figure in the changing landscape of 20th century American herbalism and an inspiration to a whole generation of younger herbalists. When Bass died in 1996 at the age of 88, he was widely recognized as one of the world’s leading herbalists. He was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal in 1985, was featured on the television program “Portrait of America,” and on National Public Television. Tour participants will enjoy the hands-on study of medicinal plants and herbal healing traditions in the historical Chattanooga, Tennessee area. Patton will teach you how to make your own salve based on Tommie Bass’s original formula, and he will demonstrate and share his expertise of wilderness survival skills. Patton is the author of Mountain Medicine: The Herbal Remedies of Tommie Bass. Visit www.stalkingthewild.com to learn more about him. CCNH director of herbal studies Phyllis D. Light, Herbalist, AHG will lead a hands-on demonstration of how to create your own herbal medicine chest and share stories of her Native American heritage. Phyllis is the author of the upcoming book The Principles and Practice of Appalachian Medicine. Visit www.phyllisdlight.com to learn more about her. Spend the last day of the tour in Chattanooga and see Rock City. Picnic atop Lookout Mountain, and enjoy its wide vistas of seven states. Identify herbs and plants as Patton guides us through Rock City Gardens and shares stories of his time spent with the legendary Tommie Bass. As a special treat, the world-famous Tennessee Aquarium is reserved exclusively for our private farewell dinner. The $1,299 per person fee includes ground transportation, lodging, plus nine meals.
