Our Programs

It is time to get excited about plants and awaken your passion for natural healing! This online program is for beginning to intermediate students who want more in-depth knowledge about medicinal plants.

This curriculum is offered as an all-online program or can also be taken in person. The Herbalist Certificate Program is designed to provide a total immersion into natural healing and medicinal plants. Students will achieve the skill set, and confidence needed to practice herbalism.

Join herbalists Elaine Sheff and John Goicovich of Green Path Herb School for our online program to create your own home herbal apothecary. Learn how to make herbal medicines including teas, decoctions, cold infusions, tinctures, salves, oils, glycerites, vinegars, honeys, elixirs, oxymels and more!

Learn how to avoid pregnancy naturally, or achieve it! The Fertility Awareness Method uses a woman’s natural fertility signs such as cervical fluid and basal body temperature to accurately and scientifically determine when she can and cannot become pregnant. Both men and women are welcome and encouraged to come. It’s about time we all knew about a safe and highly effective birth control method that really works! 

Join herbalists John Goicovich and Elaine Sheff of Green Path Herb School for our annual hands-on, week-long intensive in herbal medicine. We will be exploring the native and weedy herbs of the forests, mountains, and rivers of Northwestern Montana.

Join Naturopathic Doctor William Franklin for a two-day pre-recorded seminar on how to read and understand basic lab reports and blood panels. The labs covered in this webinar are used as initial screening tools to check for a variety of things, such as the functioning of certain organs (including the liver, kidneys, thyroid and heart), the health of your circulatory system (including the immune cells), and some of the more overt issues with nutrient status.

Join herbalist Elaine Sheff for a day-long foraging class. We will be starting with the ethics, recommended tools, and "how-to" for harvesting wild plants. We will then be exploring different ecosystems around Missoula, focusing on medicinal, weedy, and edible wild plants.

Every birth is a miracle. The human body is incredible and divine! And each of us needs the support of others, a village if you will. Pregnancy is a wonderful time to have plants as your ally. Herbs can be a non-invasive, gentle way to move through pregnancy, labor, postpartum care, and nursing. This course is designed for herbalists, birth workers such as doulas and midwives, parents, and anyone who may be pregnant or considering having a baby. Support people such as partners, family members, new grandparents, and friends are also encouraged to attend.
