Overview

Ecological Pathways to a Regenerative Future

Visionary Herbalism is the first course of its kind in the Western world, combining Herbalism’s ancient wisdom and modern nutritional science with the Practical, Therapeutic and Energetic aspects of Plant Medicine.

Herbalism is Gaia in Action. It is the medicine of belonging, the direct experience of the whole healing part. We must know ourselves and the ground we stand on to heal ourselves.

Intuition and common sense tell us that we are one with the Earth. If our world is sick and poisoned, then so are we. We die a little with each feeling of the forests being destroyed. Humanity faces the beautiful reality that we are part of a ‘shared planet.’

We are at a turning point on the planet, realizing that the intimate embrace of our world is a healing force moving humanity towards a transformation in our relationship with the Earth, each other and ourselves.

Having studied and integrated the various aspects of Visionary Herbalism, you may feel called to share what you have learned with others. Certified teachers will be able to facilitate this wisdom-centred course. Each aspect of this course includes practical instruction, which you can begin to apply immediately to your daily life.

The Ontario Herbalists Association (OHA) recognizes all our herbalism courses and mentorships. The OHA standards are recognized throughout North America. Graduates of the Visionary Herbalism program are eligible for professional membership in the OHA and use the Registered Herbalist (RH) designation as long as they remain good-standing members.

The herbalism correspondence courses can be taken individually or as diploma courses. Previous Herbalism or plant medicine experience is not required. This educational process is for people from all walks of life who are enthusiastic about bringing the herbalist lifestyle path into their lives and communities.
