GREETINGS TO ALL, from Mary Light ND MH LMT
​
As time goes on, I am finding, as are many others, a huge insurgence and elevated level of interest in studying herbal medicine, learning remedies, methods, hands on creation in class of the science and arts of herbal medicine, for personal and professional empowerment. If you are somewhat plugged in, you will see this all over social media - although much of it is watered down by being digital, distorted with "AI", and lacking in personal guidance. In this tab I offer extensions of the foundational MEDICINAL HERBALIST CERTIFICATION SERIES, plus any pop-ups, events, and meetings .
​
Here is what I have going so far as Extension study, for 2026. There is no pre- requisite.
​
Offering for "FOURTH Saturday" a four class extension series. These meet 915-4
