Ezza Valdez

Ezza Valdez, a senior team leader at The Alchemist’s Kitchen, has always been an explorer with a creative passion for “doing it on your own”, now popularized as the DIY movement. Growing up in the Philippines, she remembers how she rallied her friends to adventures in outdoor cooking (using milk cans as pots), paper doll theatrics and making their own musical instruments for caroling. “You can make beautiful music with a wire and a ton of bottle caps”. When teaching, she brings a joyful and an inspired sense of accomplishment when hosting classes and workshops. As V.P. of Business Development for The Alchemist’s Kitchen, she has had the opportunity to work with leading herbalists in the country and is currently preparing for the launch of an herbalist and CBD training program for holistic practitioners and frazzled urban citizens that will commence in early 2020.

Learn simple and powerful “stress less” techniques to soothe your nervous system, increase your energy, decrease pain and reactivity, and help you make better choices, leaving you feeling more empowered in your daily life. The workshop is led by Debra Troy, the creator of Stress Less Seminars and Heal the Cause Method, who will give you simple tools that you can incorporate into your life with ease.

For this one-of-a kind workshop, The Alchemist’s Kitchen is crafting an herbal stress reducing drink with or without CBD.

Dawn Selene

I am a wise woman herbalist, green witch, Reiki practitioner, avid gardener, and community volunteer. I have been studying plant medicine, herbalism, and energetic healing for over a decade. I enjoy bridging the worlds of plants and people, seasoned with a little magic.

Plants feel familiar to me. Like meeting someone I know. Before the internet, I would buy herbs and not really know what to do with them but always felt like I should. When I finally began studying, it was like meeting an old friend.

I think I always wanted to be an herbalist. I remember putting herbs into rubbing alcohol when was about 2 or 3 and saying I was making medicine. Of course, they were completely unusable, but I remember that it smelled like the tinctures I make now.

My introduction to energy healing modalities was as a small child. My father taught The Silva Method out of our home. This self-help method teaches meditation and self hypnosis; I took his class multiple times between the ages of 2 and 6.

I also remember playing at the base of a large tree that had knots that formed bowls, and I remember that, after it would rain, I would put herbs and colored pebbles in the bowls and say that I was making magic. And, of course, I was!

My greatest desire is to never stop learning. I want to know as much about the herbs as I can and find new ways to connect with the plants.
