School of Intuitive Herbalism
Learning from the plants directly
Welcome to a page devoted to resources emerging from the School of Intuitive Herbalism.
* EVENTS * – all welcome to join this WhatsApp group where events from both the school, students and graduates will be regularly posted.
* PATREON * – if you like this resource page, we have just started (Jan 2026) to build a Patreon which will have extensive articles, recordings and audio snippets from our work at the school. This will give a low cost (£5 a month) way to both support us and be part of a focused community exploring this work. It will give an opportunity for us to share some of our deeper work with a wider community. As a member you’ll also get access to member only events, a few free zoom events each year and a far more extensive library of resources which will go far beyond those I make publically available.
