After reading Autobiography of a Yoga, nine-year-old Farida Sharan made the decision to devote her life to spiritual seeking, practice and service. After self-healing breast cancer in the 70’s, she made natural medicine her life work. The story of this healing is told in the Herbs of Grace book.

Raised in the pristine wilderness of British Columbia, during the 40s and 50s, ripened as an artist and fashion designer in Los Angeles during the psychedelic 60s and 70s, and matured as a Natural Physician and teacher in Cambridge, England, during the 80s, Farida returned to Boulder, Colorado in 1988 where she directs the School of Natural Medicine and travels the world as a renowned international seminar leader. She is also the author of Iridology: A Complete Guide, Creative Menopause, and Herbs of Grace – Becoming Independently Healthy.

In her inspiring new book, Flower Child, Farida shares the vulnerable story of her own passage through a dysfunctional marriage, single parenthood and loneliness during the psychedelic 60s to a life of stability, purpose and spiritual commitment.

The opportunity to experience Farida Sharan's transformational mystic yoga and dance workshops or participate in her natural medicine training (herbal medicine, naturopathy and iridology) can be arranged through the School of Natural Medicine in Boulder, Colorado.
