Learning about herbs is fun and easy to do no matter where you live or what your circumstances. It is an adventure that makes use of all your senses. Reading about herbal medicine is fascinating, and a great way to learn how others have used plants. The real authorities are the plants themselves. They speak to us through their smells, tastes, forms, and colors.
Anyone who is willing to take the time to get to know the plants around them will discover a wealth of health promoting wellness. What stops us? Fear? We fear that we will use the wrong plant. We fear poisoning ourselves. We fear the plants themselves. These fears are wise. But they need not keep us from using the abundant remedies of nature. A few simple guidelines can protect you and help you make sense of herbal medicine. By taking any of my classes they will offer you easy to remember rules for using herbs simply and safely. When you have completed all three seasons, you will be using herbs confidently and successfully to keep yourself and your loved ones healthy and whole.
Our 6 week seasonal herb classes were designed to immerse the student not just into the basics of herbalism, but rather a foundation of building your herbal knowledge, confidence and usage.

"Great hands on experience" |
Sample Pages from the Students Guide
What you will receive; 200 page Seasonal Herb Class Students Guide (full color), a blank journal to document your findings, access to many medicinal and culinary herbs, and friendships that will last a lifetime. After the classes are concluded you will have access to me for as long as you need for support.
I have designed this class to dig deep, to immerse the student if you will into herbalism. Every season I will introduce you to 6 herbs although I say 6, anytime we are out foraging I will teach how to identify many wild and domestic herbs. We will forage and I will be identifying herbs in our area, you will gain a lot of hands on experience not only while foraging, you will also be taught how to prepare and preserve the herbs you're learning about in class. We will experiment, taste, prepare and most importantly learn 6 herbs each season. Not only will you will be learning but also building your foundation to become confident in taking care of you and yours. The classes are 8 hours in duration, 3 hours spent in the classroom, 3 hours foraging, 1 hour learning to prepare and preserve herbs, 1 hour each class experimenting. I have not incorporated a lunch break into the classes because we snack, eat and drink throughout the day.
What you will learn during your six week course:
"Smaller class size allow for more detailed attention and instruction. Create's a more intimate learning environment." |
