JULIETTE OF THE HERBS, Plus Meet-the-Director Tish Streeten

Thanks to DIG Yoga and Nurture Spa for sponsoring this event.

Juliette of the Herbs is a beautifully filmed lyrical portrait of the life and work of Juliette de Bairacli Levy: world renowned herbalist, author, breeder of Afghan hounds, friend of the Gypsies, traveller in search of herbal wisdom and the pioneer of holistic veterinary medicine. For more than 60 years Juliette lived with the Gypsies, nomads and peasants of the world, learning the healing arts. Juliette's well-loved and now classic herbals for animals and for children have been a vital inspiration for the present day herbal renaissance and holistic animal care community. Filmed on location in Greece, Spain, France, Portugal, Switzerland, England and America, Juliette of the Herbs is an inspiring portrait of a remarkable healer. Not Rated; 75 minutes; 1998
