Learn MoreMEDICINE OF THE SOUL: The Ritual Use of Plants
Herbs can be used not only as physical medicines, but ritual medicines as well. In this class we will explore the ceremonial use of herbs in various religions, indigenous and traditional cultures. Herbs have been used for millennia and are still used as incense, baths, ritual foods, amulets, teas, entheogens and paints to help grow our spirits, heal our souls, make congregations holy, improve our luck and protect us from malign influences. Often dismissed as superstition, the almost universal use of these spiritual medicines strongly suggests they offer real and powerful benefits especially in our crazy, confusing and anxiety producing world.

Learn MoreOur very own Wendy Warner, MD, ABIHM, IFMCP and Andrew Appello, DACM, MSN, L.Ac., APN, RH(AHG), have just launched their amazing A&P course, available here! They are wonderful teachers and have a depth of knowledge on anatomy and physiology (as well as many other topics), especially as it pertains to clinical practice, that few others can offer. We believe you will find this class not only highly educational but deeply relevant to becoming a clinical herbalist.
In our program we strive to teach the skills necessary so that each student can accomplish that goal. We focus on differential diagnosis skills, materia medica and therapeutics which are essential to individualize treatment and help patients to not only resolve symptoms, but create constitutional change needed for physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.
Our ProgramsDavid Winston’s course is fin-nominal! I was worried it would be too much and even though the material came at me quickly, I found I was able to adapt and improve my learning skills readily. However it is great! I’ll walk away with skills I acquired and copious amounts of information to review and use, to help others enrich their lives. The staff wants you to succeed and will help you to understand the materials. It was so nice to be part of the 2014 2016 class. I will look forward to helping others. It is hard to believe the two year program is over, I have learned so much and look forward to my future.
