It is such an honor to introduce you to Kathi Keville, an internationally respected herbalist and aromatherapist whose work has helped shape the modern practice of botanical healing, and who also just happens to be one of my dearest friends. Kathi has written over 15 books on the subjects of herbs, gardening and aromatherapy and is the co-author on the definitive text Aromatherapy, A Complete Guide to the Healing Art. As Director of the American Herb Association since its founding and a founding member of the American Herbalists Guild, she has been a guiding force in the field for decades. But beyond her impressive accomplishments, Kathi is someone I’m proud to call a dear friend, generous with her knowledge, deeply intuitive, and endlessly passionate about the healing power of plants. Her work has touched countless lives, and her presence continues to inspire all of us who are fortunate enough to know her. Through her decades of work, teaching, and writing, Kathi has played a pivotal role in advancing the understanding and use of medicinal plants and essential oils worldwide. She is also, to me, a dear friend, someone whose wisdom, warmth, and deep connection to the natural world continue to inspire everyone around her. We’re delighted to have Kathi teach on Essential Oils & Aromatic Herbs for herbalists…and even better, this is a free class!

If the world seems like too much…too much pain, too much heartache, too much loss…remember that our sweet Mother Earth is still holding us. Spring has arrived. The plants still offer us medicine. The world is still full of beauty and joy…even when we have to work a little harder to see it. Invite a friend over, make a pot of Chamomile tea, and read a few excerpts from my book “The Generosity of Plants.” May it soothe your heart and feed your soul. And if that doesn’t help, do as the kids like to say these days…go touch grass (just learned this phrase!) 🌷🌸🪻🐣 P.S. If you don’t have “The Generosity of Plants”, you can order it at the link in my bio @rosemarygladstar https://scienceandartofherbalism.com/product/the-generosity-of-plants/

Guest Teacher Jessica Shepherd, co-director of @dandelionherbalcenter, invites us into a gentle, sensory-focused class where we'll explore the mindful use of essential oils as supportive companions for calming the nervous system and cultivating emotional balance. We'll learn how aromatherapy can ease stress, support regulation, and bring moments of comfort and presence into everyday life. We're looking forward to this so much!

Seraphina Capranos offers a thoughtful look at how homeopathy developed alongside herbalism, and how these traditions can sit respectfully beside one another within a home-based approach to care. We're delighted to have her join Rosemary Gladstar and Jane Bothwell as a guest teacher in The Spirit & Essence of Herbalism! This will be a class rooted in history, context, and practical understanding.

We're excited to have Allison Poklemba join us as a guest teacher in Rosemary and Jane's Spirit & Essence of Herbalism Apprenticeship offering! Allison will guide us into the nourishing world of seaweeds where we’ll explore marine ecology, sustainable harvesting, and the ways these ocean allies support long-term resilience and nourishment. It’s a reminder that herbalism includes the waters as well as the woods. Allison Poklemba is an herbalist, educator, and nature-based book publisher (Backcountry Press) whose work explores the relationships between plants, people, and place. She teaches herbalism as Co-Director of @dandelionherbalcenter with an emphasis on ecological awareness, traditional uses of plants, and careful, respectful harvesting practices. Seaweeds hold a special place in Allison's heart and she has spent decades studying and working with them: weaving together hands-on experience, scientific understanding, and traditional knowledge. Her classes invite students to slow down, observe closely, and build meaningful connections with the living systems that sustain us—both on land and at the ocean’s edge.
