Wisdom of the Herbs School

Wisdom of the Herbs School offers unique experiential programs embracing the wild plants, holistic health, and sustainable living skills, valuable tools for living on the Earth in these changing times. Participants learn through herb walks and nature adventures, communion with Nature, lecture and discussion, hands-on wild harvesting and preparation of wild edibles and herbal home remedies, with intention and gratitude.
Our School encompasses much more than herbs - we offer perspectives on healthy life-style practices, ecology, natural history, and the timelessness of communion between Nature and self. The emphasis is on integration of the intuitive and scientific, all in a relaxed, magical and grounded atmosphere.
The profound challenges of these times offer profound opportunities as well. We believe the balance of experiences, knowledge and tools offered in our programs are an excellent foundation for those who wish to play their part in the harmonious personal, community and planetary evolution that is currently emerging on the planet.
Wisdom of the Herbs School is located in Woodbury, Vermont, on the east side of the Green Mountains, 20 minutes north of Montpelier, and just over an hour from Burlington. The surrounding exquisite wild lands offer a series of beaver ponds, dramatic falls and streams, a richness of open and wooded territory, and welcoming nature beings.
Our small class size maximizes the transformation that comes from multi-dimensional adventuring with the plant people.
