Revolutionizing what it means to be a
HOLISTIC HERBALIST
We all want to be holistic herbalists, right? But what’s “holistic” really mean anyways?
To us, it means using the whole plant: its chemistry, energetics, and spirit. It means healing the whole person: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It means our approach to herbalism encompasses the wholeness of nature, the earth, and cosmos.
At the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, we believe the healing power of the plants goes beyond symptomatic “band-aids,” and can provide transformational levels of healing.
Because that’s the healing that’s needed in the world right now.
