Weekend Herbalism Program 2022
This class will be in-person in 2022.
This class will not be held in 2023.
The weekend program is comprised of 6 weekends from May through October. Its format and classes are similar to those of the Community Herbalism Intensive, though condensed. For a description of individual classes look here. The class enrollment is limited to 21 students. The schedule is below.
What You Can Expect to Learn
This program is designed to give students a comprehensive, hands-on practical study of herbal medicine. Classes are divided between classroom teaching and time outdoors identifying, gathering, and preparing plants. The goal of the program is for students to have a well-rounded overview of herbalism, plants, and a solid foundation of clinical herbalism.
About Covid
Please read this, as it is can be an important consideration before joining this in-person class.
It is now April 2022 and the Covid virus is still making the rounds, as it will for a while to come. I am a pro-vaccine (and fully vaccinated) herbalist, though students are not required to be vaccinated to be in the program. I am asking students to potentially get tested before each month’s class to keep everyone safe. Students may be required to wear masks in the classroom. If you cannot comply with this, I ask that you not join this class.
Please Note-All the field trips are to local Ithaca habitats. There are no extended field trips.
