Herbal Mini -Courses

Herbal Courses at The Mountain Spirit School of Herbalism are not limited to our curriculum schedule. You do not have to commit to months in a classroom to bring the magic of herbal healing into your life. We understand the busy schedules some of us have and honor each and every persons time availability. This is why we have small workshops which are 1/2 day, 1 day, or a few weeks long. We encourage all members of the community to visit our school and learn about various uses for herbs.

    Some of our previous workshops have included:
  • Herbs for Massage Therapists
  • Herbal Mead & Cordial Making
  • Herbs for Pets
  • Organic Gardening
  • Herbs for Grown Women
  • Herbs for Eldercare, and more!

Please check back periodically as the classes change regularly. If you would like to recieve our newletter with a full schedule of all of our classes, please phone 828-252-7096 ext 304 and speak with one of our staff members. Thank You!
