Episode 169: Why I Went Back
to Herbal School

Episode Summary

Where are you in your herbal learning journey? Where would you like to go? What steps will you take to get there? These are all questions I’ve asked myself many times over the years, and reflecting upon the answers has helped to guide me to where I am today.

Last year, one of the answers that jumped out at me was: go back to herbal school! This may seem a little silly or strange – after all, I already have years of study behind me and even have my own herbal school. So why would I go back to school?  Well, there are several reasons, and you’ll hear all about it in this week’s episode.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

► How I began my herbal learning journey, and some of the many teachers I’ve had along the way

► Why relying on just one source of learning is one of the worst things you can do as an herbalist

► How it can be helpful to “go back to the basics” on things you already know well

► How being a student can help you joyfully see things in new ways

► Why the real magic of herbalism lies in the connections we make and relationships we form

► and so much more…

I’m so excited to share about my continuing herbal journey with you today! I hope it sparks inspiration for your own path.

What steps will you take on your herbal path this year?
