The Art of Becoming an Herbalist

A Workshop Series

These days, we can ask artificial intelligence anything, including for information about medicinal plants.

Here at SOBAS (School of Botanical Arts & Sciences), we help you implement knowledge, while also providing human-created text and videos for trustiworthiness.

Learning herbalism isn't about memorizing a few random recipes from books or online. And, it's not about "knowledge" of herbs.

It's about learning how to think, choose, prepare, and respond to health needs with competence and confidence! To have experience with medicinal plants, and to build your intuition. It's about practicing true wisdom in your herbal choices, and to make real change in your life.

Your family needs more than random remedies. They need someone who knows how to use herbs the right way.

That person is you!

In this video series, I’ll help you set the stage to become the trusted herbalist in your home — someone who can choose the right herbs for the person and situation, make useful remedies, understand basic safety, and care for everyday needs with more calm and confidence.

I’m Heidi Villegas, founder of Healing Harvest Homestead and the School of Botanical Arts & Sciences, and I’ve helped thousands of students become family and community herbalists over the past 12 years so they can provide exceptional health options for themselves, families, and neighbors.

Enjoy the series! And I'd love to see you in the live sessions if you can make it!
