Spring is here and I just wanted to take a moment of you time to tell you about our terrific hands-on herbal learning course - the Herbal Bear's Botanical Medicine Program. This course is very special. It offers students the opportunity to learn about herbs by placing the classroom right in the garden! The program is held one weekend a month (twice in October) at the Herbal Bear, Grand Gorge, NY location - a beautiful private 30 acre property in the Northern Catskills - just 2 hours and 45 minutes from NYC.
Each weekend we learn about the plants that grow arounds us by studying their healing properties upon different body systems, gathering and harvesting the local medicinal plants which grow on the property, and develping a systematic approach to herbal formulations. By the end of the program you will be able to identify and know how to use over 100 different herbs. Our classes are informal and relaxed - however we take pride in the fact that our instructors are amoung the top in thier fields and include experienced herbalists, research scientists, and authors who have published in their field of expertice.
Our classes are small, allowing accessibility to our instructors both during class time and after class. Our instructor's enthusiasm for their topics shows in their willingness to share both their time and knowlege with students - in class and one-on-one.
No one enjoys a boring classroom lecture - this is why we have designed this class to be an interactive and hands-on experience. Learning about herbal remedies takes on a whole new dimension when you have a chance to see, smell, touch and use the plants that grow right in the Northern Catskills.
There are currently have a few spaces still left in this program. If you are interested our Botanical Medicine Program, please feel free to visit our website to learn more about the program - http://www.herbalbear.com/app07.html
