This 40-hour course will provide students with a grounding in herbal medicine studies by developing the skills to work with plants for their own self-care and their community. From botany and medicine making to wild food gathering and plant cultivation, we hope to nurture in our students the capacity to connect with the spirit and personality of plants in the wild and in the garden. We will also explore the political implications of self-care, self-sufficiency and Health Justice as a foundational part of this program.
