Northeast School of Botanical Medicine Homepage

Welcome to the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine

Within this website you can find current information about the herbal medicine programs, as well as associated handouts, syllabus, application and calendar of events. There is a photo section where there are numerous photos of the school, wildcrafting trips, animals, plants, places, and other nature aspects.                                          Northeast School of Botanical Medicine 2011

There is also information on other areas where I am involved such as the Ithaca Free Clinic and teaching abroad.  If you are interested in a more ongoing discussion, see my blog or Facebook pages (7Song and School page)


 

Northeast School of Botanical Medicine Programs

Please Note
No programs in 2012. I will be not running the school in 2012. The school will be open again in 2013. If you are interested please let me know, as it now January 2012 and program is already beginning to fill.

Visiting the School. As the school year has finished, there are no classes to visit until the next program in 2013. However, I invite all prospective students to visit me at the school when your schedule allows. It is much easier to conduct an interview (for both of us) in person, and you can see the school grounds as well.

Please call or email at least a few weeks in advance to be sure that I will be home.

  • PhotosWhite-faced Meadowhawk

    Over the years, I have taken many photos of plants, with an eye towards medicinal plants. All of the hundreds of plants are accurately labeled and can be used for help in identification as well as just mooning over.
    As a naturalist, there are also many photos of animals, insects and landscapes. There are also photographs of the previous classes and the places we've been. It is searchable, and a good place to get a sense of the different programs
  • Applications, Handouts and Syllabus
    This section contains handouts used in classes, the school's application, a health intake form and other informative material. There is a wide variety of topics here, so please browse for any information you may find helpful. 

  • Herb Articles

    Here are a number of articles relating to herbs, books, or any subject that did not make it to the handouts or blog sections. These include a number of book reviews on the plant guides I use to identify plants in my travels.
