DIY Herbalism with Arete and Paula's Herbals
2020 Registration is now OPEN
A message from Paula and Lauren:
We have moved the start date for our 2020 session to JUNE 14. There are still spots available to join us in learning DIY Herbal Medicine Making!
Things may feel uncertain right now, but we're pressing forward with this course, which was set to start in late April. If need be, we'll adapt and be flexible, but we'll make it work. We strongly feel that this is a critical time to share this herbal knowledge. The Yoga Barn, where this course is held, is tucked away in the countryside of Chester County, surrounded by nature, and it will be a small group of students. The barn is a very large, open room with high, vaulted ceilings. We can adjust the table setup to space students out as necessary. We spend time outside as well and won't always be indoors. We'll weather this storm together and students will come out the other side with an invaluable skill set as medicine making herbalists and will be able to support themselves and their loved ones' health and healing.
Herbalism is a very important skill set to have, especially in times like these. In this course, we cover herbs that support the immune system, as well as herbal first aid and wound care products. Students will learn to forage and confidently identify edible & medicinal plants as well as tend to our class garden to learn growing and harvesting methods.
Given the unusual crisis we're all in, we are keeping on top of both the changing news and potential options for our class setup and even the start date. Our priority is to safely hold a medicine-making class to teach you how to take care of yourself and your families regardless of the world circumstances, but we also want to reassure you that if our class gets cancelled outright we will be giving refunds regardless of our no-refund policy.
Let us know if you have any questions, or if we can help in any way.
