HYBRID 

10 MODULES (500 HOUR)

CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT

A 500-hour journey in the art and science of plant medicine. 

Blending anatomy, energetics, alchemy, and ecology, this program trains you to practice herbal medicine as both science and relationship.

Explore the Curriculum

​There was a time when medicine was not a profession but a relationship.
Healing was an act of listening — between people, plants, and the living Earth.

The Integrative Herbalist path restores this relationship. It teaches you to weave traditional herbal wisdom with modern integrative science — anatomy, energetics, alchemy, and ecology — so that medicine becomes more than remedy; it becomes relationship.

This is not just a certificate program. It is a remembering.
