East West School of Planetary Herbology
Herbal Seminar 2023
ONLINE: APRIL 2128, 2023
After three online seminars, we have
discovered that many folks who’ve
been unable to attend the onsite
seminars have participated online from
around the world, much to their great joy
and education.
For that reason, and because the safety of
large gatherings is still uncertain during
Covid19 days, we are offering our seminar
online again this year from April 2128,
2023. We will offer classes for Foundation,
Intermediate and Advanced Tracks.
This year we are highlighting Western,
Ayurvedic and Chinese herbology! We are
most fortunate to have featured guest
speakers: Todd Caldecott and Michael
Tierra on April 22, and Rosemary Gladstar
and Thomas Avery Garran on April 23.
During the week there will be one live Q&A
classe for Foundation and one for Inter
mediate, and of course our annual live
meet and greet for Foundation and Inter
mediate tracks at the start of the seminar
on April 21.
Classes during the week for Foundation
Track include TCM fundamentals, Ayur
veda, Five Element theory, and differential
diagnosis with cases. Intermediate Track
classes cover formulas, Chinese, Western,
and Ayurvedic materia medicas, and case
intakes.
As for our faculty, we welcome back our
fabulous faculty members Susan Kramer,
Nancy Angelini, Anne de Courtenay, Manish
Chandra, Miles Coleman, Sheila Devitt,
Holly Hutton, Erica Macrum, and Nicholas
Schnell.
We hope you join us for this exciting week
to dive deeper into your studies, learn
much more about herbs and herbal heal
ing, meet other students, and of course
study with Michael and Lesley!
