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.
A 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.
This program was designed for those desiring to respectfully reconnect and explore the healing power of nature. It's for those who have the inspiration and compassion to become plant knowledge keepers and a healing resource for their community.
If you're truly interested in this program series contact us and we will arrange a time to connect with you by phone or email. We want to ensure this is the right program for you and to clarify any details on how to begin. If it is the right path for you, we can arrange a payment schedule that best suits your financial situation and lifestyle.
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.
