PROGRAM DETAILS

The course material is available to you online.  Upon sign-up you will gain access to all twelve modules; within each module you will find mini-courses, video lectures, quizzes, pdfs, a recommended schedule and an assignment for each module that will deepen your learning experience.  There is also a case study component to this program.  You will be asked to do four case studies in total; yourself and three other people.  

Each module has a medicine making lesson, you can purchase a medicine making package that will provide you with herbs for six of the lessons.  The lesson on flower essences and hydrosols require the use of fresh flowers and some of the lessons are information based like herb-drug interactions and formulation so no herbs are required for them.  You are not required to purchase the medicine making package if you have access to your own herbs or do not wish to make the preparations.
