“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”

– Frank Lloyd Wright

For the love of plants, humanity and the planet, practice herbal medicine.

Herbal medicine and healing is a place to be heard, offered plant medicine that is sustainable and supports life while learning how to care for yourself and cherish this beautiful planet called Earth.

"It's funny Abrah - I wanted to learn from you about working with the physical bodies of plants (and I have!) but you have also done so much to deepen my understanding of how to work with them energetically as well."

- K.S.

"How can I find the right words to thank you? This journey with you is so unbelievably special to me. I will honour your teachings and herbs forever. Thank you for showing me the purple in the field."

- Margie

"Thank you for a wondrous 10 months of learning the fascinating world of plants you teach so beautifully. I am filled with more curiosity, respect and wonder for plants than ever before. You opened up a world that I want to learn more about. I feel grateful to have been part of your class."

- T.M.
