10 Month Ohlone’s Foundations of Herbalism - San Francisco

Instructor: Kara Sigler and Anna Kazanjian, Katie Delwiche & Staff
Gain an in-depth understanding of the complex functions and healing nature of more than 300 local plants through theoretical learning, herb gathering and sampling, and medicine making. Half of class time is spent hands on, in nature, with extended trips to local environments such as the Sierras and the Pacific Ocean. This is what distinguishes American herbalism—you learn about the plants in your own body, mind and spirit. You will create your own medicines during every class meeting, learning how to make extracts from multiple solutions, as well as creams and lotions, salves, teas, syrups, honey, oils, vinegars, and suppositories.
