Master Herbalist and Certified Nutritional Consultant, Cecilia Avitable, has more than 20 years of experience providing education in the field of medicinal uses of herbs and foods. Classes for the Reclaiming Our Roots series run from February through August and include a variety of herbal skills rarely taught in our modern world.

“This seven-month learning journey will provide you an in-depth study of the healing properties of herbs for women, men, children and pets. It will cover all of the body systems, conditions associated with each system, and the beneficial herbs for these systems/conditions,” says Avitable. “You will learn how to treat non-emergency health problems, and gain an excellent grounding in the basics of herbal medicine. You will also learn how to make teas, tinctures, salves, syrups and compresses. This education will give you the opportunity to participate in and take charge of your healing process.”
