The Science & Art of Herbalism - Course

Vervain is proud to offer Rosemary Gladstar’s “The Science & Art of Herbalism” certification course!

Schedule (two sessions per year)

February Start Session: 3rd Saturday of the month from February to November (November class is on 2nd Saturday).

Join us for a 10-month journey exploring herbal medicine that will engage the senses and the intellect while introducing you to a wide range of herbal topics and techniques. In this small-group setting, we will help you cultivate the confidence to support radiant health and address a myriad of health complaints using herbs. This program is designed to be fun and challenging as it guides students in extensive study – expect to spend about 20-30 hours outside of class hours per month studying and completing the homework assignments (official certification available).

This course will deepen your understanding of healing herbs and introduce you to a wide range of herbal topics. 4 hours/month of personalized instruction includes:

- Lectures in Herbal Materia Medica, Botany, Herbal Energetics, Anatomy and Physiology, First Aid, Accessibility and Sustainability of Herbal Medicine, and Home Treatment Plans.

- Hands-on learning: herbal infused oils, salves, tinctures, bath salts, sprays, infused honeys, syrups, vinegars, and much more!

- Local plant identification walks and on-location exploration as weather permits to discover our local herbal bounty!

- A comprehensive binder with the course text and dozens of recipes from Rosemary Gladstar’s The Science and Art of Herbalism printed course curriculum.

- Rosemary’s newest video course: The Foundations of Herbalism video series.

Bring your curiosity and join us on this herbal adventure that will span seasons and body systems!
