Course summary

The course aims at guiding the participants through an inspiring journey of observation and experimentation with herbs, that will give them an opportunity to become familiar with plants as healing mediums and also develop confidence in managing common health conditions based on their own knowledge and skills. The participants will be involved in a process of identifying, cultivating, harvesting, preparing remedies, researching, working in groups and sharing skills and experiences, that will provide them with the means of regaining access to the vast healing potential of their local environment. The theoretical sessions consist of detailed descriptions of the different body systems, including basic anatomy and physiology and in-depth discussions of specific ailments and herbal treatments related to them. During these sessions, we will be focusing on specific herbs for each condition, explaining how and why they work, and we will be explaining the development of different herbal formulas. Practical sessions also provide concise practical information on growing and processing herbs. The participants will have the chance to develop their skills in preparing simple, safe and effective herbal remedies, cosmetics and soaps, as well as designing their own garden and growing their own herbs.

The course will be held in English and is for people that are considering an alternative approach to health and are interested in using herbal medicine as a tool for getting actively involved in the healing process, based on their own knowledge and their own resources. The course is intended to be suitable for all levels of experience and abilities, so no prior theoretical or practical knowledge is required.
