This comprehensive Herbal Emergence program offers an in-depth journey into two powerful traditions of natural medicine. We will study the principles of Ayurveda and how they pertain to herbalism and all aspects of life, while simultaneously engaging with herbalism from a folk perspective.
From the folk herbalism perspective, we will look through an energetic lens, exploring a broad spectrum of subjects including botany, how and when to use herbs, practicing herbalism with intention, a holistic approach to anatomy and physiology, medicine making, and the essence of re-remembering. You’ll learn practical skills such as foraging, creating infusions, tinctures, infused vinegars, oxymels, and more!
The Ayurveda portion introduces you to foundational concepts and how to apply them to your daily life. We will delve deep into tridoshic theory, the 20 Gunas (biocharacteristics), Eastern philosophy, meditation, and pranayama. You’ll learn about Ayurvedic practices such as Dinacharya (daily routines) and Ritucharya (cycles of nature), explore the doshas in detail, and understand concepts like Agni (digestive fire), Ama (toxins), and Dhatus (tissue levels). The course also covers Ayurvedic approaches to nutrition, lifestyle, consciousness studies, and medicinal herbs.
This program is semi-self-paced and includes hands-on activities and labs for enhanced learning. There will be opportunities to explore plants visually, audibly, tactilely, and energetically through videos, written materials, meditations, and experiential labs.
Our intention with this course is to provide you with accessible, authentic, and accurate education. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid grounding in both Western and Ayurvedic herbal traditions, enabling you to approach health and wellness from multiple, complementary perspectives.
