“This calling of the plants is deeper than a profession or a hobby. The true herbalist is not designated by any certification or degree; our mark is invisible, for it is inscribed into our hearts by the hand of Nature itself.”
― Sajah Popham

We love teaching people how to use plants medicinally

As a trifecta of teachers, we have a diverse array of backgrounds, perspectives, and disciplines to offer our students. We share collective knowledge of a wide scope of medicinal preparations, along with traditional knowledge and materia medica, as well as the latest science to confirm ancient wisdom. The symbiotic exchange of ideas and philosophies is part of the alchemy of teaching, and we experience the fun of learning every time we share our knowledge of herbal medicine. There are always new and exciting connections to be made, as we delve into the rich body of work that is herbalism.
