Herbal Certification Course

Rosemary Gladstar’s The Science & Art of Herbalism Certification Course

Tangled Roots Herbal is proud to play host to local Certified Herbalist Sheilagh Cruickshank as she teaches Rosemary Gladstar’s 9 month Herbal Certification program! We started hosting the program in March of 2018 and its been wildly successful so far!

If you have a budding interest in herbs and want to develop the skill and expertise, or if you’ve been playing with herbs for years but need more formal instruction to further your studies, this course is for you.

The next run of the course starts Saturday March 21 and is enrolling now!

 

About the course, in Rosemary’s words,

“The Science & Art of Herbalism is not a clinical level program, nor is the focus only on medical herbalism. Rather, the course builds a firm foundation upon which to continue to build one’s herbal education. It guides the student into the many areas and aspects of herbs providing pathways to deepen one’s awareness. The students complete the course with a well-rounded and grounded herbal education. The course is geared towards the beginner/intermediate students of herbalism, though I’ve had many knowledgeable well-trained herbalists sign up. They use the course material as a review and/or to better organize their own source of knowing and information. The Science & Art of Herbalism provides a systematic, comprehensive way to organize ones studies and gives excellent resources and techniques for doing so.”
