Herbal Apprenticeship Program
The Herbal Apprenticeship Program is a deeper level of learning the herbal medicine and healing path.
This a custom designed program for the person that is interested in expanding on the herbal medicine world. Each herbalist will have their own unique approach to herbal medicine that they can share to the interested apprentice. The Western Herbal Tradition goes back thousands of years that is only re-emerging as a primary first step towards health.
In this tradition, herbalists had their own way of describing how the body functions along with how disease can present. This is quite often simplified as Energetics. Some examples of this energetic approach we use a model of Six Tissue States, The Four Elements, The Four Qualities & The Four Humours. Another less known fact about the Western herbal tradition is the use of a Medicine Wheel that has so many of the same attributes as the First Nations Medicine Wheel of North and South America.
