There was a time when medicine was not a system to master -
but a relationship to tend.
This Integrative Herbal Medicine program is a 500-hour journey designed to restore that way of learning—one that honors scientific rigor while inviting deep listening, presence, and reciprocity with the living world.
This program is intentionally slow and immersive. While it is rich in information—anatomy, physiology, energetics, alchemy, and ecology—the deeper aim is not memorization, but integration.
You will be invited to move at a pace that allows real relationship to form: with plants, with the body, and with your own way of knowing. Medicine here is not extracted or rushed. It is cultivated.
A Slow, Relational Path into Herbal Medicine
This Integrative Herbal Medicine program is a deliberately paced, immersive training blending botanical science, alchemical wisdom, and hands-on practice—so learning becomes embodied, ethical, and deeply relational.
Program Overview
Through this process, students develop the capacity to practice herbal medicine with confidence, ethics, and discernment—grounded in both scientific understanding and embodied experience.
MODULE 1
The Threshold
Begin your herbal journey by stepping into deep relationship with the plant world. Learn presence, reciprocity, and the foundational ethics that root all true herbal practice.
MODULE 3
Learning Their Language
Explore the art of herbal preparations: teas, tinctures, oils, salves, syrups, and steams. Discover how each method reveals a different aspect of a plant’s medicine and voice.
MODULE 5
The Energy of Spring: Liver & Lymph
Study the spring herbs traditionally associated with the liver, lymph, and skin, and the practice of seasonal renewal. Learn alteratives, bitters, and practices traditionally used to invite fresh energy.

Gather & Ground: Autumn
Nourish the nervous system and replenish minerals as the season turns inward. Explore nervines, adaptogens, and grounding practices that restore balance and resilience.

MODULE 2
Listening
Awaken your sensory intelligence and learn to feel plant energetics directly in your body. This module teaches embodied listening—the heart of herbal intuition and awareness.

MODULE 6

MODULE 8
The Deep Nourishment of Winter
Explore winter as a season of rest and deep nourishment, and the herbs traditionally used to support it. Learn about adaptogens, warming nourishment, and seasonal restoration.
MODULE 10
Becoming One with the Medicine
Integrate everything you’ve learned into an embodied herbal practice. Clarify your philosophy, strengthen your ethics, and step confidently into your role as a healer.
Through this program, students develop the capacity to practice herbal medicine with confidence, ethics, and discernment—grounded in both scientific understanding and embodied experience.
Why Slow Medicine?
In a culture shaped by speed, efficiency, and extraction, it can be tempting to approach herbal medicine the same way—learning protocols quickly, collecting information, and moving on.
This program takes a different stance.
We believe that true herbal medicine arises through time, attention, and relationship. Slowness allows perception to sharpen. Presence allows the body to speak. Relationship allows plants to reveal their medicine beyond theory.
By slowing the pace, this training creates space for discernment, integration, and ethical practice—so what is learned is not just known, but embodied.
​It is through the alchemy of herbs that we not only heal our bodies, but also nourish our souls.
