Scott Kloos is a Plant Medicine Practitioner, Medicine Maker, and Wildcrafter, and has been working with the native plants of the Pacific NW since the late 90's. In addition to many years of self-study, he completed the 1999 Herbal Apprenticeship Program at the Herb Pharm in Williams, OR, and in 2000, he attended a nine-month Community Herbalist Training Program with Christopher Hobbs. In 2009, he studied Traditional Western Herbalism: An Intuitive and Energetic Approach with Matthew Wood in Portland, OR. He spent seven years studying the human psyche (his own and others) in Paul Levy's Awakening in the Dream group. Paul's unique synthesis of the Dzogchen School of Tibetan Buddhism, Western Alchemy, Jungian Psychology, the Dreambody Psychology of Arnold Mindell, and shamanism deeply shaped his view of the world and his approach to healing and working with plants. He is the owner of Cascadia Folk Medicine, which produces small batch herbal extracts from the native plants of the region. In his healing practice he works with the psycho-spiritual aspects of plant medicine and leads weekly Plant Teacher classes exploring the physical and psycho-spiritual properties of the plants of the Pacific Northwest. He is one of the founders and a faculty member of the Elderberry School of Botanical Medicine in Portland, OR, and a faculty member of Matthew Wood's School of Traditional Western Herbalism.
