August 23 - 27, 2019

Awaken the herbalist within and deepen your connection to the healing power of the natural world.

Learn to recognize the nature of health, disease, flow and relationship, as you sharpen your senses and grow your connection with the medicinal plants, mushrooms, and seaweeds of the west coast.

In this intensive we will evolve our understanding of holistic health and the earth based medicine path. In doing so, we will explore a variety of techniques, tools, wisdom teaching and old world diagnostic practice, as we build a rich language of relationship with the world around us.

Our time will be broken up into blocks of direct connection, group work, plant walks, medicine making, and mindfulness practices. All woven together with a focus on deepening connection and relationship our path as healers and active stewards of the earth.

Participants will walk away a rich understanding of a variety of healing modalities,  samples of the herbal products we make together in class, and an in-depth medicine crafting hand-out to start creating at home with. They will also get a PDF version of all the diagnosis maps, slides, and diagrams used in class.

Be prepared to take notes, get your hands dirty and build your confidence in our ability to support the health of people, plants and planet.
