Herbal Foundations Level I
Welcome to a journey designed for the complete beginner as well as those who have studied a bit and want to blow a bit more life into their herbal practice. We walk together monthly for the entire 13 Moons and adjust the weave within the fabric of who we are so you build a solid footing in building and managing your apothecary along with the many skills an herbalist requires in order to meet the needs of family and community.
Your tuition includes the 'Birthing an Herbalist in 13 Moons' on-line course which provides our structure so we can jump path at times to explore that which is difficult to translate to an on-line experience. So we meet for 13 months live, you receive lessons on-line for the 13 months, and you continue to have access to our on-line classroom for 2 years. You also receive free access to the 'Monthly Herbalist Council Meetings' for for 2 years. One hour per month, live Q&A with an herbal-oriented topic announced the week prior.
This course leans deeper into the physical side of herbalism as a foundations course for supporting you with creating a functioning apothecary for personal, family and community care.
