Introducing: Herbs for Living


Locust Light Farm

Hi there,

Did you have a chance to check out Herbs for Resilience yesterday? It's a free class that's a sample of my program Herbs for Living.

After nearly a full year, I've revamped Herbs for Living and I'm excited to introduce it to you.

Herbs for Living will teach you herbalism + personal ritual to support you through life's big feelings.

Here's what's new:

  • It's all delivered to your inbox -- you don't have to log in anywhere
  • (Unless you want to - there are lots of bonuses, aka extra info, in your online classroom).
  • It's an audio course, so you can listen to lessons like you'd listen to a podcast or audiobook
  • Basically, I've made it very easy to access the whole course on your phone.
  • Each month features a 7-Day Challenge related to the theme of the month (ex: In February it's a 7-Day Boundaries Challenge.) The challenges are fun, reinforce the class material, push you to make some gentle changes, and give us a chance to chat in the Gathering Space.
  • You will be able to purchase individual classes. So, if you don't want to sign up for the whole course but you just want to take one or two classes, you can do that. More on that later.

Ok, here's the full info:

Herbs for Living

Life is hard. Herbs can help.

This 12-month online will guide you through medicinal herbalism, personal ritual, and delicious support for life’s big feelings.


Topics

  • Boundaries
  • Anger + Resentment
  • When you’re Stuck
  • Existential Despair
  • Actually Taking Care of Yourself
  • Celebration + Parties
  • Being Brutally Honest with Yourself
  • Focus + Clarity
  • Grieving + Sadness
  • Managing Holiday Stress
  • Rest
  • Manifesting + Intentions


Each emotion/process is paired with a health topic.

For instance, Herbs for Boundaries will also touch upon Immune Health. Because, as you know, our emotions can manifest in our bodies, and physical imbalances are usually connected to an emotional/spiritual imbalance.

You’ll receive your class each month via email.

You’ll get an audio recording + handouts, including a book of recipes + rituals, delivered to your inbox.


Each month I’ll host an interactive 7-Day Challenge.

The 7-Day Challenge is connected to the theme of the class and helps you implement what you’ve learned. There’s a community space to cheer each other on, share reflections, post pics, etc. Some months there will be prizes for participation.

Cost: $250 or $25/month for 12 months

Designed to be easy to absorb.
I’ve designed this class to be as easy as possible to take: the materials are delivered via email, and you don’t have to log in anywhere unless you want to. By taking just one class per month and following up with the 7-Day Challenges, you’ll have the best chance to fully absorb and remember the information.

What you Get each month:

  • Audio Class Recording for easy download
  • Handout on the Topic
  • Materia Medica Sheet for 5-7 relevant herbs
  • Recipe + Ritual Book
  • Any other workbooks, Tarot spreads, or Questions for Reflection that I decide to include
  • A 7-Day Challenge relevant to the topic
  • Chat support from me in our Gathering Space


PLUS This Extra Stuff

  • Access to my audio course “How to Use Herbs”
  • Access to my “Herbal Gardening” course
  • 4 Pre-recorded Medicine-Making Classes

Who it’s for:

  • Totally beginner herbalists
  • Intermediate herbalists (folks who've taken a few herbal courses, including foundational level courses)
  • Herbalists who've had advanced herbal training but haven't worked with herbs energetically/magically/spiritually

By the end of the course, you’ll know how to…

  • use herbs to deal with things you experience on a weekly basis — i.e. the ups and downs of life
  • work with 80 medicinal herbs, including contraindications and safety
  • comfort a grieving friend, quell anger after a tough work day, mix awesome herbal party drinks, serve tea that facilitates a hard conversation, make a work-from-home altar that will help you focus, enjoy the holidays, actually set the boundaries you crave… and so forth

AND if you register by October 31st, 2024, you'll get a bonus 30-minute call with me ($75 value) to be used within one year.

Questions? Reply to this email. I'm here.

with big feelings of gratitude,
Amanda

Herbalism for your real life.

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 want to add herbal tools to your resilience tool basket? 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...

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...
