Foundations of Medicinal Herbalism
    2010-2011    
10 Month Weekend Course

Herbal Medicine has an important place in our home medicine chest for our use and consumption. It is important to know how to utilize the plants for our healing and well being. This course will explore each body system and its physiology, actions and constituents of the plants and how their medicine can be applied to various ailments and disease in the body. We will discover the many primary and secondary indications of an extensive materia medica of plants which have been used since the beginning of time. Students will develop a protocol per system which will be shared with the class integrating the knowledge into a usable form. Everyone will also create a final project inspired by personal growth and digestion of the information.

Herbal Apothecary
2010-2011
10 Month Weekend Course

The wise women of the village held the magic because they knew the value and usage of the plants nearby.  It is time now for each village to have the wise women again.  When you, your family, neighbors and friends get sick, injured or diagnosed with a disease what can you do to be a support?  This course teaches the methods, techniques, and applications of  home made herbal products.  It is up to us to be empowered by the plants by knowing how to use them so they may heal us of our inflictions.  How best might they be ingested, administered or applied?  This course takes us back to our ancestor’s earliest use of plants as medicines and brings us forward into the 21st century to create a life supportive herbal apothecary at home.
