Good News! 

Our Foundations of Herbalism Program 2020
is now available as an online program!

We want our program to be accessible to everyone even though you can’t join us at our classroom in the Southern Appalachians this year.

More than ever before, herbalists are needed to provide safe, effective herbal health care for their families, friends, and communities. Our program gives you a solid introduction to the art of herbal healing along with skills and information you can use today.

Our goal is to strengthen your innate ability to heal yourself and others, broaden your knowledge of herbs as a natural, effective way to promote optimal health and wellness, and support you as you learn to use herbs with confidence. By the end of the program, you’ll know how to use more than 60 herbs to treat a wide range of common health conditions, make herbal medicines in your own kitchen, and much more.

The 2020 Foundations of Herbalism Online Program began on April 25 and continues monthly through December, but we are still accepting registration. You will be able to access recordings for the first weekend after you register.

The curriculum consists of 118 hours of lectures, virtual plant walks, and medicine-making demonstrations. Classes are held one weekend and one evening per month.  Attend via live-streamed sessions or access recordings at your convenience.

Each month’s class is streamed live on one weekend, with five hours of class on both Saturday and Sunday, and one 2-hour class on Wednesday evening. Recordings of all classes are available to access at your convenience.
