This introductory 8-month virtual course offers knowledge of plant medicine based on ethnography and oral history, folk medicine, traditional healing systems, and personal relationships.

Students walk away with knowledge on plant identification, herbal energetics, embodied practice, legacies of resistance, plant knowledge, and an in-depth understanding of over 30 plants.

We are taking a much-needed break from this program to build additional resources for program participants. We have closed applications and will reopen in 2026.

We are excited to annouce we a birthing a new program!
