FORAGING HERBALIST SERIES - 5 WEEK REGISTRATION

Join us for the entire (5) week Foraging Herbalist Series where you will be immersed in the Art of Vitalist Herbalism and Wild Foraging.  Series commitment offers 15% off regular price admission.  

Saturdays, April 12 - May 10, 2025 from 10 am-2 pm at our home apothecary and abroad, these four-hour intensives will hone your natural healing skills.  Learn how to utilize herbs in formulation and making, understanding plant energetics and actions and how to match herbs to the human condition. 

Discover our many native plants of the Sonoran and their traditional uses in natural healthcare.  We will be hiking abroad on alternating weekends, identifying and learning about the uses of our native plants, how to harvest, prepare and store them for our home apothecaries.  

Special emphasis will be placed on learning the Taste of Herbs and Vitalist Herbalism platforms, as well as learning how to DIY your own  teas/tinctures/salts/salves/oils and powders for wellness.

Each weekend will offer takeaways inclusive of herbal products, data sheets, and wild foraged herbs.  We encourage you to come prepared to take notes for a full immersion into the herbal arts. 

Shop our home apothecary and wander the l5 ower Sonoran amongst the tall Palo Verdes adorning our two-acre homestead. This is an opportunity to grow your nature connection and understanding of plant healing, giving you the confidence necessary to find the miracles you need in nature!
