Learning through direct sensory engagement
Developing discernment, not just information
Connecting to the deep ancestral wisdom that informs herbal work
Experiencing the intelligence and spirit of plants
Whether introductory or advanced, each class is designed to cultivate confidence, clarity, and respectful relationship with the plants.
