Clinic Graduation
REGISTRATION & DETAILS:
Wednesdays, March 31 – Nov 17, 2021
Time: 9am – 4pm
Cost: $4500 with a non-refundable, non-transferable deposit of $500.
For those that do not have college level Anatomy and Physiology, we require this online A&P course with Tammi Sweet at Heartstone Center for Earth Essentials. Sacred Plant students are offered a significant discount for the course. More details will be given upon registration on how to register with our discount code.
Her class is engaging, fun, and especially tailored to herbalists and massage therapists. This class offers comprehensive understanding of HOW and WHY the body works through a holistic, yet still obsessively accurate lens.
We encourage students to do the course over the winter before class begins so it can be reviewed throughout the year.
Recommended texts which are not included in the fee:
We know that this is quite an outlay in one year. These are the only texts required for both years and these are necessary herbals for a complete library. Only Matthew’s books are required early on in the course and once we begin we will discuss the others.
- The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism, Matthew Wood
- Matthew Wood’s two volumes of The Earthwise Herbal; Complete Guide to Old World Medicinal Plants as well as The Earthwise Herbal: A Complete Guide to New World
- Herbal Formularies for Health Professionals, Volumes 1-4, Jill Stansbury
- Medical Herbalism, David Hoffmann
- Secret Teachings of Plants, Stephen Buhner
- Principles and Practice of Phytotherapy, Kerry Bone & Simon Mills
What does not happen in this class is a claim to mastery. What we do offer is a certificate at the end of the three years of training describing the accomplishment that has taken place. We strive to help students fulfill requisites of the American Herbalist Guild and the credit hours will meet similar requirements if the student wished to pursue professional status with AHG. Completion will give the student the confidence and skills to begin a community practice in whatever area the graduate feels drawn to, be it education, client work or community development.
Pre-requisite: Foundations or a similar one-year training program. Interview is required. For a more complete listing of the curriculum, please call or write SPT.
Faculty: Heather Wetzel MS,RH (AHG); Lorna Mauney-Brodek and Mimi Hernandez
