Join professional herbalists Chad Cornell M.H. and Robert Rogers RH (AHG) in an online study program designed to deepen your practical knowledge of medicinal plants, wild foods, and the philosophy behind their use. You will learn about the benefits of herbs and their history. You may even find that cultivating and growing herbs is your calling.

Our world is in need of well-educated herbalists, growers, harvesters, producers, and educators.  As our healthcare systems become increasingly stressed, and the awareness of our culture improves, we are increasingly in need of more holistic health professionals, community healers, and herbalists.  

We’ll explore the history of healing, the role of Herbalism presently as well as it’s great future importance. One key question to start with is “what is medicine?”  Is it a chemical that removes a symptom, a food that nourishes, or a state of right relationship?  We focus on beginning the study of “how the body works” through the lens of Holistic Anatomy and a unique introduction to the language of the herbalist via Robert Roger’s Key Actions and Properties. We also explore some essentials in natural healing such as; seeing the body as an ecosystem, the role of Vital Energy or Qi and the true potential of sound health.  There is a detailed look at the elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether, as well as how we're literally made up of a balance of them all. You will find professionally made videos and audio classes and, of course, a full screening of our documentary film Our Common Roots - Unveiling Our Global Traditions of Healing with Plants is included.

This series of programs will prove valuable for wisdom seekers of all stages, whether you are a budding herbalist, or established professional you'll find that it's not only filled with quality information but transformative wisdom as well.  

Part of our own journey to health and harmony involves realigning ourselves with our own true nature.  Within us all flows the very intelligence of mother nature herself, and exploring methods of accessing that inner wisdom is equally as important as learning information in an intellectual text book fashion.   

Our goal is to make this Program accessible to as many people as possible and ensure the roots of herbal wisdom grow deep into the next generation.
