Overview
The Foundations in Herbalism program is where your herbal journey begins — a grounded introduction to the practice, language, and lineage of plant medicine. Designed for those ready to deepen beyond curiosity, this course provides the essential framework for understanding how herbs work with the body, the spirit, and the land.
Here, learning unfolds asynchronously, allowing you to move through lessons on your own time. You’ll explore herbal preparation methods, dive into our growing Materia Medica library, and join rich discussions within the community.
Every lesson helps you connect more deeply with the plants, your ancestors, and the wisdom within yourself.
