Herbal Medicine for the Soul an 8-month Online Apprenticeship

Herbal Medicine for the Soul is an introduction to the spiritual practice of healing with plant medicine. It is designed to rebuild your connection with the Earth to understand that plants and people are more similar than different. 

As one of our students, you’ll gain personal insight and understanding of how your multidimensionality matches that of plants, thus learning to heal on all levels: mind, body and spirit. 

Tangibly, you will learn how plants can be used to treat a variety of health conditions. Coupled with your intention, proactive self-care practices and a foundational understanding of medical astrology, you will learn how to align your health with your wellness goals, lifestyle and soul’s evolution.

The curriculum for this program includes lectures, labs, field trips, plant walks, special projects, discussion and community. While not specifically designed for the clinical herbalist, this curriculum will give you a solid foundation in herbal medicine and how plants can be used to facilitate healing in the body, mind and spirit. It is our belief that one must first be aware of and connected to one’s own inner intelligence, imbalances and issues and how to address them before attempting to facilitate healing for others. Change, healing and growth begin with Self.
