Avoiding Antibiotics with Distant Light Ministry – Feb 27, 2026 / 6 – 9 PM / Boston, VA
Join Erin O’Donnell, BSN, local author, and former registered nurse, founder of Fully Alive Families, for an Avoiding Antibiotics to learn the fundamentals of supporting immunity as well as what to do when sickness hits. As a mom of four, Erin can give you lots of tools that are not only effective, but also practical and affordable enough for a busy parent or someone working full time. Attendees will receive a “quick reference” binder with recipes and all of the topics discussed.
Participants will “make & take” a healing detox bath kit & a chest rub. If you have a child/loved one who will not tolerate taking medications or has sensory issues, please let us know in advance and we can brainstorm an alternative method of healing.
Avoiding Antibiotics Workshop for Ladies Homesteaders of NOVA – Feb 2, 2026 / 7 – 9 PM / Marshall, VA
Most people are aware of how much antibiotics can disrupt the body’s natural flora and cause health problems over time, but when a nasty infection comes along, antibiotics often seem like the only choice. What if there was a better way? Come and join Erin O’Donnell, BSN, local author, and former registered nurse, for Avoiding Antibiotics to learn the fundamentals of supporting immunity as well as what to do when a sinus infection or UTI hits or when your toddler has an ear infection or pink eye. As a mom of four, Erin can give you lots of tools that are not only effective, but also practical and affordable enough for a busy parent or someone working full time. Attendees will receive a “quick reference” binder with recipes and all of the topics discussed. They will also make and bring home a bottle of thyme oxymel which is Erin’s go-to treatment for respiratory issues and almost everything else. Erin will also have her book and some healing bath kits available for purchase.
