Hi Reader,

Every time I teach this class, the topic feels more relevant than ever. I hate that.

Yes, I can zoom out and focus on how we're collectively growing and broken systems need to collapse etc., but mostly I wish that we weren't amid war and climate catastrophe and mass extinction and general unsafeness. I want everyone to be safe.

Even for those of us who are generally safe, it's hard to be navigating life right now, in so many ways. I don't need to list them.

Herbs aren't going to solve all these problems. But they can help you stay steady and nourished as you navigate existence. That's the best we can ask for: to continue to grow and learn and be present for our experience. That is something that herbs can help with.

So, here you go, a class about herbs for resilience.

Here are three things to know:

  1. We'll talk about resilience: what it means, how to know when you have it, and how to cultivate it.
  2. You'll learn what adaptogens are + how to use them.
  3. You'll get lots of great handouts: Materia Medica sheets for 5 adaptogens, a handout about herbs + resilience, and a Recipe + Rituals book to get mixing, blending, and using these herbs.

​This is an audio class. Once you hit the button below, you'll get an email that contains a 90-minute audio recording + PDF handouts.

This free class is a "sample" class for my course Herbs for Living. Herbs for Resilience will be taught in the same format as Herbs for Living , so you'll get to see if you like my teaching style and the general vibe. And no matter what, you'll learn lots of good herbal info!

Herbalism for your real life.

Amanda Crooke | Locust Light Farm

Herbs can make your life better. I can show you how. I teach herbalism to beginner and intermediate herbalists, both online and in my classroom in Stockton, NJ. I'm also the Herbal Pharmacy teacher at David Winston’s Center for Herbal Studies, where I teach clinical herbalism students to make medicinally potent preparations. I emphasize deliciousness in herbal preparations and only measure ingredients when I absolutely have to. I love crosswords, cozy mysteries, and searching for gnomes in the mossy crevices along the nearby creek.

Locust Light Farm Hi friend, I've been updating my "Herbs for Resilience" class in preparation for announcing my new-and-improved Herbs for Living course. It's surreal to be writing about resilience as I see pictures of the devastation throughout the southeastern U.S. No amount of herbs can prepare you for your home being destroyed. When I follow my daughter around in our yard, I scuff my feet into the dusty soil. We've been in a drought since June, and I've been praying for rain. I had been...
