Video Lessons
Twice each month students receive video lessons showing particular herbalism skills and tools and showing plants growing and being harvested in real time, so students can better learn to identify plants in their own areas.
Video lessons will all have a component of “What Herbs are Currently In Season” in which the instructing herbalist will show the plants in the wild and how to forage, harvest, process and prepare them.

Monthly Community Meetings
Students are encouraged to participate in monthly in person meetings where they’ll have the chance to create remedies and discuss their successes and things they are working on in their own practices.
Month 1: Herbal Foundations and Introductions
Month 2: Growing Your Own Medicine Garden
Month 3: Tea Blending Skills
Month 4: Tinctures, Glycerites, Vinegars, Oxymels, Elixirs

Each monthly meetup will include a “making” time in which students will practice making remedies with personal instruction. All products made will be taken home but the student. Cost of materials is built into the cost of the course.
