Bodies for Herbalists (and other holistic practitioners)

Now enrolling for "Bodies for Herbalists" starting March 2024 in West Virginia! This class is hybrid: in person and live on Zoom, making it available to all with an internet connection. This is one module of a three module intensive for those wanting to become herbalists. This class makes a great gift for the herb lover in your life who dreams of being a healer. This is a solid foundation in how the body works Limited enrollment offered to ensure each student gets attention and we stay safe in the age of COVID. Contact Lily to reserve your spot. Syllabus is here. Class day and time is the same each month: third Wednesdays 6:30-8:30+ (We do go over when the spirit moves us!) Who takes an herb class? Many different kinds of people have been Lily's students. Some are practitioners of some sort: nurses, dentists, MDs, midwives, or massage therapists. Many have never had anatomy or physiology experience and are absolute beginners. All are curious, love nature, and want to help people. The world needs more herbalists. Join us! Advanced modules (clinical, cultivation, starting an herb business, education, and/or apothecary) can happen in the apprenticeship program after successful completion of this class.
