Throughout the year, you will compile your own Materia Medica, your personal herb reference book full of pressed plants, drawings and all the information you learn. We’ll train you to use our unique set of Sensory Herb tools which connect you with the energetics of plants. Working in this way facilitates meaningful, memorable relationships with plants.
Sensory Herb Practice is a craft. Creativity and art infuses all our work and teachings. Alongside knowledge in botany, medicine making and the human body systems, the course guides you to develop your own creative plant folklore. Don’t worry if you haven’t picked up a pencil since school or if you judge your own art harshly. We ease you through the process step by step. Exploring your own creative soul while being part of a supportive community of like-minded students and alumni is all part of the journey. You will be amazed what plants can help you discover about yourself.
