Botanical Medicine Movement
A 6-month In-person and Online Plant Medicine Immersion Program.
Are You Attracted to Plants and Want to Learn How to Use Them Medicinally?
You are surrounded by herbs daily. This 6-month immersion program is designed to give you the wings to fly into the healing realms of plant medicine. Your apothecary is outside waiting for you!
Learn how to connect with 50 medicinal plants commonly found in the Eastern and Central United States.
No matter where you live: city, suburban, or country, we will cover herbs that grow near you. You are in the right place if knowing over 50 medicinal plants gets you EXCITED.
We work directly with you to make sure you are 100% on the plant's identification. By the end of the program, you will be able to use field guides to learn new herbs on your own.
This is an unique opportunity to gain experience both in-person and online.
You will get a solid foundation in botany, medical botany, plant intuitive medicine, and medicine making by working through the online modules each month. We will reinforce everything you learn in the monthly modules with in-person monthly meetings in the Charleston Area.
For students not in the Charleston Area, we will use Zoom so you can join and ask questions. We will meet in-person once per month.
