Foundations of Herbalism -
A Nine-Month Training

September 2008 – May 2009

This program is the heart and soul of our offerings. Students spend one day a week, for nine months following the seasons and coming to a deep appreciation of the rhythms of our lives. We will see how our bodies and souls respond to different foods and medicines at different times of the year. Curriculum includes medicine making, wild food preparation, kitchen apothecary practices, anatomy & physiology and foundations of different models of herbalism; biomedical, Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese Medicine and the sacred journey to the plants themselves.

There are day trips to meet various eco niches as well as a weekend at Southern Virginia Herbals to experience Robbie Wooding’s beautiful herb farm near Halifax, VA.

Above and beyond the rich and detailed curriculum is the creation of a sacred circle. This is the work of our time now; to come together as a community and bring forth the sustainable and joyful practices that will lead us to a healthier and more grounded life.

Next class will begin September, 2008. Fee is $2800. Limited work/study positions and payment plans available. Please call to schedule an interview
before sending in a $250.00  NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT
to save your space.

Class size is limited and this class fills quickly. This can be taken by itself or as part of the Three-Year Program.

Also this year a NEW Nine Month Weekend Course 2008 will be offered.
