The headquarters for HWB Marche is in the office of the coordinator Karin Mecozzi, in San Severino Marche. Here is an introduction from Karin about her background:
​

• Graduated as "Erborista" (Degree for herbalists at the Departement of Pharmacy, University Carlo Bo Urbino, 1996)

 

• Author of "Ars Herbaria, piante medicinali nel respiro dell'anno" and "Ars herbaria, Heilpflanzen im Jahreslauf"

 

• I am a qualified Expert in Anthroposophical Botany, Biodynamic Farming and Landscape Perception at the Free University of Spiritual Sciences  Goetheanum (CH), member of various research groups in Italy and Europe.

 

• I collect spontaneous mediterranean herbs , working on a product line with the medicinal plant Helichrysum italicum Don in the Marche.

 

• Since 1997 I teach traditional, modern and anthroposophical herbalism and "active perception" of landscape and healing plants. Since 2005 I am Active Member of PETRARCA European Academy for the culture of Landscape and Associazione culturale Thaleia. In my courses, I use a participative teaching method which comprehends a both humanistic - spiritual and scientific way. Currently, I am developing an educational project on healing plants, healing places (genius loci) and botanical experiencing and contemplation in the Apennines, in an ancient monastery (www.fonteavellana.it)
