FEATURED PROGRAM
Skills & support to nurture you, your practice, and your community
Crafting Your Herbal Practice is comprised of two courses, offered consecutively, that provide tools of support and skill development for herbalists to step into clinical practice while honoring the right livelihood in relationship with the plants, self, community, and the changing planet.
The first three-month course, Creating the Container: Tending Self, Client and Community, combines essential clinical skills and sound business practices. These skills, such as which business entity is most appropriate (LLC vs. S Corp vs. none), waivers, forms, apothecary lot numbers, and so many vital details for creating clear and professional guidelines. This program runs from January to March 2024.
The second two-month course, The Heart of the Craft: Assessing the Story, offers a highly curated course where all three of us mentor the small class of participants with deep discussion and review of case histories brought by the participants. This course will run from April to May 2024. Learn more about the second part of this program at this link.
