| Welcome to The Forager's Path School of
Botanical Studies, presenting classes and
workshops in healing, herbal medicine of
India and China, and medicinal and edible
plants of the Southwest. |
| |
| Four key concepts describe
the mission of our school: |
|
| |
Empowerment
You will acquire
the knowledge, ability and
support to be responsible for
your own health. Learn how to
find, collect, grow, process and
use health-giving herbs. Learn
self-help skills and gain
information to improve your
family's health. Bring wild food
into your diet, make your own
herbal preparations and discover
reliable resources for further
study. |
|
Connection to
Nature
Most of human
history has been spent living in
a close inter-dependent
connection with nature.
Re-establishing this
relationship to the plant world
and all of nature is a vital
part of being healthy. Courses
at The Forager's Path help
people have a meaningful and
sincere relationship to the
natural world. |
|
Community
Healing does not
occur in isolation. Developing
friendships and contacts with
like-minded folks near and far
is an essential part of being an
herbalist. The herbal community
network extends beyond one's
hometown and is part of an ever
growing web that reaches beyond
the Southwest and into every
culture. While some of our
courses focus on the healing
qualities of plants of the
deserts and canyons, other
courses will connect you to the
global healing traditions of
Indian Ayurveda and Traditional
Chinese Medicine. The emphasis
at The Forager's Path is to
develop ʻcommunity herbalists',
those who can be of service to
their families, neighborhoods
and local communities. |
|
Balance
Health is
balance. Balance between rest
and exercise, heart-felt
intuition and scientific
knowledge, and the yin and yang
of the anabolic and catabolic
processes in our bodies and in
nature. Our approach to healing
and herbal medicine is to seek
balance in every part of our
lives on the physical, emotional
and spiritual levels. |
|
| |
| We offer learning
opportunities for all ages and
for all ability levels. |
|
| |
| Join us on the
life-long path of healing and
learning with the gifts of
nature... |
