Our flagship course, The Elementary Herbalist, is presented in 5 week sessions from April thru September. It is specifically geared toward teaching lay and beginning students the practical and real application of Western Herbalism.
 
Held for 6 hrs a day one day a week, it offers participants a combination of hands on remedy making, wildcrafting (identifying and gathering in the wild) and knowledge of current scientific data supporting the use of the botanical remedies that we discuss. 
 
The class is taught by “systems”: immune, cardiac, respiratory, digestive and more. Students receive a manual with a reference guide for each herb,  its application as well as suggested dose. When available, seeds are also shared with students to begin their own ‘remedy garden’. 
 
Classes are kept small (ideally 6 but no more than 10) so personalized attention is received. For the 2024 season all enrollees can sit in and repeat the class to refresh or ‘audit’ free of charge to make sure the knowledge has been imprinted
 
Class sessions for 2024 are as follows 
4/6/24 – 5/4/24
5/13/24 – 6/10/24
6/25/24 – 7/23/24
8/7/24 – 9/9/4/24
