Welcome to our Online Community Herbalism Program
Beloved community, It is with great excitement we welcome you to our annual virtual community herbalism program, our most in depth and extensive herbal course. We have built this program over ten years and are thankful to share this very special offering online.
We welcome folks to take this opportunity to dive deep into plant, people, and community healing work. Participants are welcome to take as many or as few classes that resonate with them. Our intention is to welcome members into our community whom we can best serve and whose expectations are in line with our capacity and offerings. Each of the teachers in this program come to this work with deep love and respect for community and for this work, and because, most often, the classes they create and share are central to each of their life paths, this work is deeply meaningful. We hope to illuminate the many ways that folks can be in relationship with the plants and with each other in hopes to shine light on the possibilities we collectively hold.
