Our Pedagogy

This program is a curriculum-oriented second step towards cultivating a professional clinical herbalist practice. Beginning with the Spirit Herbalism seminar series, we lay a foundation for advanced study grounded in the mind-body-spirit connection.

Content introduces advanced pathophysiology, higher level ailment applications, advanced medicine making technicques, and tools for applied formulation. Develop a protocol for each body system’s case study and your approach with an instructor led cohort review.

Described as rigorous when peak engaged, class time includes lecture, discussion, guided plant-based discovery exercises, and a medicine making demo video series. Supporting experiential, project-based learning, our students have the opportunity to embody plant spirit practices and reciprocal principles that demystify inner earth-based balance.
