Ons Sunday I was joined by my Co-Director at the Actaea Institute of Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy, AC Hill, and the fabulous folk who joined us for the start of our 10-month live & lively Diploma course in the clinical practice and business of Herbalism & Aromatherapy.

The course is quite intensive — we will be covering some 200 medicinal and aromatic plants and their clinical use guided by traditional wisdom, botanical science and TCM energetic diagnostic skills. Not only that, but we will be learning how to sustainably wildcraft and grow, harvest and process, extract and distill these precious plant medicinals from the ground up.

So it's a "jolly-good-thing" that those who were drawn to and who joined our band of herbal learners are a spectacular assortment of Herbalists, Aromatherapists, Therapeutic Massage practitioners, artists, painters, sculptors, potters, gardeners, plant ID-ers, entrepreneurs, community builders, travelers, and devotees of Plant Spirit Wisdom.

What more could we ask for? 🌿✨💚

Our 10-month DIPLOMA COURSE IN HERBAL MEDICINE & AROMATHERAPY is a dynamic integration of:—

• HERBALISM & AROMATHERAPY (covering medicinal & aromatic plants & their combined therapeutics)

• SCIENCE & TCM ENERGETICS (covering the biology, chemistry and pharmacology of herbs & essential oils together with their pharmaco-energetic actions according to the time-honored tradition of Chinese medicine)

• CONSTITUTIONAL & SYMPTOMATIC THERAPEUTICS (using botanical & aromatic medicines according to the individual's underlying constitutional 'terrain' as well as their proper use in specific disease conditions & acute care/ first aid; prevention & intervention)

• CLINICAL & BUSINESS SKILLS (providing an informed grounding in the clinical management of clients including their constitutional diagnosis, lifestyle recommendations & herbal-aromatic treatment together with the skills necessary to succeed in today's competitive marketplace)

• LIVE INTERACTIVE LEARNING & 1-to-1 MENTORSHIP (Actaea's Co-Directors AC Stauble & Gabriel Mojay are committed to providing professional training which is live, lively and engaging, and reinforced out of weekly class time with individual learning support, as we guide each learner towards their goals)

We had a perfectly glorious time last night with a gathering of some of our current students for a 1-hr 'Open House' online meet-up ~ at the Actaea Institute of Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy.

To mark the occasion, and the provenance of our name - 'Actaea' - I read a newly-penned ode to Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa), and AC shared her own love of the medicinal plant which grows abundantly around her and her husband Isaac Hill's bucolic herb farm. 🌿🎪⚗️
