Designed to deepen understanding of natural medicine. Bring an open mind and heart to explore medical herbalism from the ground up! Learn and observe wonders of natural healing. Take this plant journey with an experienced herbalist and with a group of extraordinary folks.
From Spring through Summer, we follow wildflowers and native plant bloom from the Sierra foothills to high country mountains. Saturday is making herbal preparations and outdoor classroom study. Sunday is a field trip exploring different eco-systems along rivers and creeks. July’s 3-day camping trip is easy car camping next to a high Sierra lake with canoes and kayaks for your use. We share plant stories around the campfire. Native sweat holders join us to build and enjoy a sweat lodge.
Make an herbal first-aid kit from scratch and share herbal experiences with each other. Choose your advanced formulating and medicine making techniques.
In medical botany, we discuss the relationships of plant families to their healing aspects. You’ll discover how to use a botany key and tricks making plant ID easier. We’ll prepare herbariums and flower essences.
Plant energetics looks at shamanic and traditional medicine around the world. Kathi’s love for history and folklore includes worldwide ethnobotany—the use of plants by indigenous peoples. Our class honors the Nisenan Maidu for this land and for sharing their plant knowledge.
This course is all inclusive for everyone. We’ll get you into nature even if you use a cane or wheel chair. We’ve had 10-80 year olds, very pregnant women and babies.
