Rather, it builds a firm foundation upon which to continue to build ones herbal education, if one chooses.
It guides the student into the many areas and aspects of herbs providing pathways to plants wisdom and healing ways. The student completes the course with a well rounded and grounded herbal education, usually eager for more!
The course is geared towards the beginner / intermediate students of Herbalism.
Through a variety of disciplines that include research, study, hands on experience, and close contact with the plants, the Lessons help guide you to the heart of the plant and the teachings that abide within.

"The plants are considered to be our primary teachers and we, the students, must learn to come to them with open hearts.
Our journey is to awaken the ancient wisdom implanted in each of our hearts, the genetic encoding of thousands of years of herb usage instilled in our memory banks. The learning of this plant wisdom is joyful and fun, enriching and rewarding and leads to many unexpected pathways." Rosemary Gladstar
