Summer Update

Late Summer Plant Walk

Time to head south, explore a diverse pine-oak woods and end at a sweet waterfall near Brevard. Our next plant walk will be at Wintergreen Falls in the DuPont State Forest on Saturday, August 28, at 10 am. There are some beautiful and unusual plants here including some fall bloomers.

Please call or e-mail to register so we know how many people to expect, we can give you directions at that time. Plant walks take place rain or shine!! (unless there's a total downpour). If in doubt, call.

Sign up ahead of time and save money! The walk is $15, or $12 if you pay ahead at this paypal link right here:

Winter Weekend Program begins November 12 - spaces are filling up, so sign up soon.

Meeting one weekend a month November through May, this program is an excellent opportunity for those beginning their exploration in herbal medicine, or for those who work during the weekdays. Learn about how the body works, how to support the body and work with ailments using herbal medicine and nutrition, how to make your own medicines and how to identify wild plants. The final weekend is a 3-day long walk in the woods!

So don't forget - An herbal education is great health insurance.

 

School Mission

Plants are our life; everything on earth exists because plants have the magic ability to transform sunlight into energy. Every cell of our body comes from plants, even if it came from animals that ate plants. They have been our food and our medicine for as long as humans have been on the planet. Recognizing our connection to plant life helps us to see our connection to all that is, and with awareness and respect for all life, we can see the inerconnectedness of all things on this green planet.

The goal of the Blue Ridge School is to teach students how to see in a new way, using the vision of traditional cultures from across the globe including Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and native plant medicine. And ultimately that vision is this - Treat the person with the disease, not just the disease the person has. Simply said, but the knowledge, wisdom and intuition behind this paradigm shift take months to learn, and a lifetime of practice. Ultimately it is a new way of looking at life.

The journey begins here, with our Herbalist Training Programs.
