Dear Plant Lover, Don’t miss your calling!

Follow your dream and bring herbal wisdom and healing traditions to your community!

How do I choose which program is best for me?

Both the Community Herbalist Certificate Program and the Community Herbalist Program {For Herbal Learning & Fun} are open to those who are just starting or folks who are already steeped in plant know-how. This Program is for you if you have a longing and desire to deepen your herbal wisdom. Designed for students who have a love of plants, a deep calling to be of service to others and humanity as a whole, and a genuine commitment to carry on the lineage of the teachings that have been passed down to me.

A little more info…

I weave traditional healing practices learned in Mexico and Latin America into local “bio-regional” herbalism, giving you the best skills of Western Herbal Medicine combined with the earth-centered traditional healing of the Maya culture. It is the gem that sets my work apart from other teachers.

Being part of a learning circle focused on herbs and traditional healing practices will change your life. You will learn herbal medicine, heal yourself, and come out feeling whole and supercharged. Plants connect people to the Earth, to each other, and bring you home to yourself.

Plants will be taught according to the traditional “materia medica” format: common name, Latin name, part used, the best method of preparation, specific indications and usages, dosage parameters and safety issues, and contraindications. We will also look at how to source both fresh plant material and dry plants for making medicines.

We will cover beginning botanical identification and understanding plant families plus all major medicine making techniques.

Ask Yourself…

Do I love the idea of being an herbalist and working with plants enough to commit my whole self to this endeavor? Better yet, do I trust my own intuitive wisdom that has repeatedly (or almost magically) brought me to this decision-making moment? {FYI: every significant move that I have made that has turned me into the woman I am and led me to the work I do has scared me so much that it almost immobilized me OR it excited me so much that I almost couldn’t sit still!} Being able to hold the paradox of feeling scared AND excited at the same time and being able to say YES is key!

You will be profoundly rewarded living a creative life of love and service, dedicated to the Earth and her medicines.

Do the next right thing…choose the Community Herbalist Program that is right for you and learn herbs!

As my teachers in Mexico say…
May your path be filled with flowers, and may blessings be upon you!

Hugs & Healing Plants,

Shelley
