Advanced Herbalist Group

Class Details

The next session beings in April/May 2026.

Become part of the local herbal community. Meet monthly with other herbalists for field trips, peer group discussion, and in-depth learning about herbs. This class is for continuing students, who have a firm foundation in Herbalism and would like to build on the basics. The yearlong course is divided into 2 parts:

The Summer Series runs from April/May through September and includes 6 field trips, giving members the opportunity to develop relationships with wild places and living plants while collaboratively creating a medicinal plant fieldguide. Field trips include a variety of different habitat-types such as the desert basin, foothills, mountain forests in different elevation zones, and riparian environments. By the end of this series, students will be familiar with a wide range of plants and landscapes of New Mexico.

The Winter Series runs from October through March and includes 6 sessions with independent work, peer discussion, and original formulation. Members will have the opportunity to develop their own product recipes, creative projects, and independent research to share in class while also working on a collaborative recipe and formulation guide.

Students may enter the Advanced Herbalists Group in either April/May (starting with the Summer Session) or October (starting with the Winter Session), depending on available openings.
