Discover an Herbalist Course Online with an Experienced Teacher
Now, computer technology is so available and easy. People have been asking me for many years if I could have an herbalist course online because they live too far away to take my classes and they go to my website and they read about my approach to herbalism and human health, and it speaks to them. Other people live in areas where there’s just nobody available to teach herbalism.
Herbal Medicine Classes Online: Understanding Humors & Temperaments
Many herbalists who have been in the business for a long time, such as myself, are watching this growing interest in herbalism, which includes a growing number of people who are teaching it.

Discover Herbalism Classes Online with Breadth and Depth
The first offering of our herbalism classes online sets the foundations for the entire course. What I’m hoping for the Foundations of Western Herbal Medicine course online is that people come away with a clear understanding and vision of human health, as well as a lens through which to understand patterns of disharmony. This helps us to understand what human health and human illness looks like. Eventually and ultimately there’ll be a second part to Foundations of Western Herbal Medicine, so I’ll speak to it as if it’s the entirety of the whole course, and the same would apply in its own way to the upcoming Foundations of Chinese Herbal Medicine class as well.
Exploring the Virtues of Collinsonia Canadensis

I also started seeing an important need for using collinsonia as a central hub herb to address the debilitation that comes from enduring constant stress, fatigue, or pain.

Gongs in the Garden
Work with medicinal herbs and therapeutic sound is work with consciousness. Sound has a deep link to emotionality, the subconscious, and physiology. We as humans are electric beings, constantly in motion. We are vibration, we are sound. The frequency depicts the...
