Isn’t it wonderful to be socializing again! I love seeing all the smiling faces. We now know what a blessing a simple smile or hug can be. One of my greatest joys is that we are offering classes again.

My favorite class to teach is the “Be Your Own Doctor Series”. These classes contain all of the basic herbal information you need to care for your family at home. We learned this past year that we need to do this in a more direct way than ever before. Hospitals and doctors are not always available or a safe option…so then what do you do? Be prepared with the knowledge to care for your family!

In this class series you will learn how to be a family herbalist. You will know the basic actions of many herbs and how to prepare them and use them. This class is “hands on” and you will make all kinds of remedies to take home. A little afraid of making a tincture or salve? This class will give you the confidence you need to be a Family Herbalist, and you will earn a certificate too.

I expect this class will fill up quickly. Please note the registration deadline and sign up early. We have special pricing if you come with a friend, or if you have attended before, but want a refresher. This class will help you to be prepared to care for your family. Don’t miss it!
