9-month Community Herbal Intensive

The Community Herbal Intensive 1 - Getting Grounded is a 9-month comprehensive course designed to ground participants in the concepts of community herbalism.

CHI 1 starts in March with identification of late winter twigs and barks used as food and medicine. Then on to spring greens, through summer flowers and berries, ending with the deep nourishment offered by autumn roots. Monthly topics cover the how, when, which, and why to use herbs, weeds, and wild plants.

The 6 in-person sessions are 5-hours long, 2 field trips + 4 herbal technique workshops (schedule will post for each location soon).

A prerecorded webinar summarizes the monthly readings.

The monthly live online Q&A sessions give participants an opportunity to ask questions about reading materials, plant studies, and suggested activities.
