Intensives
My teaching focuses on things generally not found in books and leans heavily on oral tradition. I am a firm believer in experiential learning. In my classes, the science of herbalism is carefully balanced with the art and energetic realms to offer the student a well-rounded herbal perspective. Much of what we do is hands-on and interactive. The program has an emphasis on bioregionalism, conservation and land stewardship.
