Welcome to the beginning of your transformation........the plants are a catalyst for finding the wild woman or man deep inside you that has been yelling at you to come out.

 

It is my pleasure and honor to help you along your journey!

 

In this 7-month course we will cover everything herbal and at the end, you will be an herbalist!  One weekend per month we will discuss various native NH plants and their medicinal uses, and talk about the systems of the body and which herbs are best for imbalances. We will also do many hands-on projects including, making lotions, facial scrubs, infused oils, extracts, syrups, and salves and balms. You will also learn how to blend teas for pleasure or medicine and how to harvest, dry and store herbs too. Most weekends we will go out into the fields and forest to look for plants and at the end of the 7 months, you will have created your own materia medica.....a complete cross-referenced card catalog of plants, their actions, and uses. 

 

All class attendance is required to get a certificate as well as 25 additional hours with me learning how to harvest, store and process herbs as well as learning applicable state and federal regulations regarding shop operations (FDA cGMPs). Call or email me to sign up.

Each weekend plan ahead for rain or sun. Class times are 9 am - 4 pm each weekend day (Sat/Sun). Outside time is required as we will explore the fields and forests during foraging expeditions each weekend. Bring sun-screen, bug-juice, extra clothes as needed. Bring water, lunch and snacks. We will go on field trips some weekends and the full weekend agenda will be emailed to you prior to the weekend. The weekend will also be a mixture of hands-on activities and lectures, so please bring a notebook and pen to take notes. More details will be sent via email once you confirm your registration. Handouts for all class material are included at no extra cost. There are many books recommended for you to start out your herbal journey, but none are required for class. This list will be provided in your confirmation email once you sign up by emailing me your interest and paying the $600 deposit. During this class you will find about 150 plants and learn how to identify, harvest, store, and use as medicine. A full plant list will be provided to you prior to our first class so you can get started finding plants. The Materia Medica you create will also include dis-ease and action cards so you can easily explore plants, dis-eases and actions separately.
