REGISTRATION OPEN! STARTS FEBRUARY 2025
Vervain is proud to offer our new course, "Fundamentals of Herbalism”!
Join us for a 10-month (once/month for 10 months) journey exploring herbal medicine that will engage the senses and the intellect while introducing you to a wide range of herbal topics and techniques. In this small-group setting, we will help you cultivate the confidence to support radiant health and address a myriad of health imbalances using herbs while establishing a firm understanding of the ethical limitations in working with herbs and people. This program is designed to be fun and challenging as it guides students in extensive study – expect to spend about 20-30 hours outside of class hours per month studying and completing the optional exercises.
Bring your curiosity and join us on this herbal adventure that will span seasons and body systems!
