Authoritative yet approachable and supportive learning for those that are serious about their herbal journey
If you’ve been searching for a way to connect with plants, yourself, and find expert support to go deep into the world of socially-just, eco- conscious plant medicine, this is it!!!
Now, more than ever, we need well-trained herbalists that can support their families, communities & the Earth. If you feel that the plants have called to you to go deep, I am here to support you in answering that calling.
Learning HerbCraft through the Wildflower School is life-changing, and I translate what can be an overwhelming amount of information into real, practical steps that you can take to help your family live the herbal lifestyle and bring knowledge, not information into your home.
My program introduces you to the many layers of herbal healing from spiritual, emotional, physical, and guides you to the community level where you can make a real impact. One of the things that makes this course special is how heart-centered the training is, and the inclusion of using herbs to heal ourselves, our communities, and the Earth. I encourage our students to take a creative & active part in the future of herbalism with your own HerbCrafting.
I truly believe that putting a herbalist in every home is the way to circumvent the race towards the sixth mass extinction humans have initiated and I have dedicated my life to growing these great herbalists.
This new world of pandemics and protests has provided me with the focus for finishing the course for you to enjoy & I am so excited to share it with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions! 🐜. .
We expect that this program will take approximately 6 months to complete and you will have a full year of access.
From our experience if you spend 1-3 hours a week on your work you should be done in about 6 months. There are some assignments that go along with the program, so the more your put in, the more you get out of the program
