Reconnect with Mother Nature, your intuition, and a supportive learning community in this hands-on, elementally guided herbalism program. Designed for both complete beginners and seasoned herb-lovers, the Community Herbalism Course offers a grounded, experiential introduction to herbal medicine through the lens of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. Over five months, we’ll explore one element at a time, each expressed through three immersive classes that weave together plant connection, medicine making, energetic understanding, and practical herbal knowledge. You’ll learn by doing, creating remedies together, and deepening your relationship with the plants growing around us.

This course is for:

• People who want a welcoming, supportive entry point into herbalism
• Experienced herbalists seeking a fresh, elemental perspective
• Those looking to integrate herbalism into their self-care, family care, or existing healing arts practice

Each month we focus on a single element, cultivating a relationship with a particular herb through understanding its taste, its herbal energetics (hot/cold, wet/dry) and its organ affinities while also learning how to make practical, safe, effective herbal preparations! No previous experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and your willingness to explore.

The 3-hour classes include:

• Connect: Altar building; Guided plant sits and sensory practices; Element-based embodiment and reflection
• Learn: Herbal actions, tastes, and body systems through an elemental lens; Energetics, safety, and practical applications
• Make: Calendula infused oil, salve, and lip balm (Earth), Motherwort foot soak, tea, and flower essence (Water), Tulsi incense cones, tincture, and oxymel (Fire), Mugwort dream pillow, smudge bundle, and smoking blend (Air), Lemon balm hydrosol, essential oil, and spagyric (Space)
