Herbal Medicine Program - School Overview

Directing our focus upon keeping alive the tradition of connection between people and plants, we surrender to service and love, for the Plant and Human Kingdoms.   As guides, we help establish a connection to the Natural World, to Gaia, and it is through the use of Medicinal Plants that we are inspired to do this service.  This is the basic foundation of what is called Voyage Botanica.

To learn the Art of Herbal Medicine you have to make a voyage, a journey to a special and magical place.  A world that seems far away, but really is one that is all around us.  A world known to some as the "plant world", to others it is called Botanica.

The Herbal Medicine Program has three uniquely designed schools that are perfect for students with varied backgrounds. A 250+ Hour Program, a 7 Day Field School, and a 1500+ Hour Field Program.

To be a competent herbalist you have to spend time with plant medicines.  You have to learn their language and you have to journey to the natural world where they live.  "You have to pick plants and make medicines".  "You have to touch the Earth and listen to its stories".   "You have to learn the old ways."

We need support. Often at Voyage Botanica we supplement a students tuition fee by providing a scholarship or some type of work study position. Saving medicinal plant information, teaching, and supporting many other people on this Voyage is costly. Please make a donation to our Voyage Botanica Paypal account and help us teach and reach more people with the Voyage Botanica Message....



Our Herbal Medicine Program is centered around spending as much time with plant medicines as possible.  In fact, this is the only Herbal Program in the World that makes "field time" or being with the plant medicines the most important aspect of its program.  Why?  Because Herbal Medicine is more than just learning about he "cause and effect" of herbs.  It is also about about experiencing a connection to the spirit, to the plant world, to the natural world, and it is through this connection that we are better able to understand ourselves and how we can best integrate Herbal Medicine into our lives.  If you truly want to experience the "Art of Herbal Medicine", you have to spend as much time in the field as you can.  This School does just that!

We do have some classroom time at our unique teaching base, but we will spend more time with plants than with chalkboards!  We will cross over into the world of Botanica and learn from our most important teachers of all, the plants themselves!
