Green Path Academy: "Herbal Protocols: Case Thinking, Formulation & Holistic Strategy" Class

Herbal Protocols: Case Thinking, Formulation & Holistic Strategy This class teaches students how to think through a case, ask better questions, notice patterns, and begin building thoughtful herbal support plans rather than just grabbing random remedies. We’ll explore how to move from complaint to deeper understanding, how to organize a protocol, how to match herbs more wisely to the person in front of you, and how to build formulas with purpose, balance, and common sense. We’ll also review homework from the Whole Body Health class, where students work through seven different people, identify the core issues beneath the surface, create short holistic protocols, and design simple recipes to match the case. Through discussion, case review, and guided exercises, students learn to bring the wider Green Path coursework into usable form. * Learn how to look beyond the surface complaint and identify the deeper patterns, systems, and root issues that shape a person’s imbalance. * Practice building simple, thoughtful herbal protocols that include remedies, supportive foods, lifestyle shifts, and realistic next steps for the person in front of you. * Work through real-life case thinking by reviewing homework from the Whole Body Health class, where students assess seven different people, identify core concerns, and design short holistic protocols and matching recipes. * Explore the art of formula building more deeply, including how to choose primary herbs, supportive herbs, nourishers, and catalysts with greater clarity and purpose. * Grow more confident in the human side of herbalism by learning how to ask better questions, think more holistically, and create support plans that are practical, grounded, and personalized. 3-4 hours, $80.

About the Green Path Academy: Imagine a world where nature handed you what you needed, when you needed it. No cost to you. No trip to the store. Did you know the “weeds” around you had value to your health and could feed and nourish you and your family? What if we told you right out your back door are plants that can do all this and more? What if these plants were your pharmacy, grocery store, beauty parlor, spa, and pain clinic? What if when you looked at your garden, you saw friends instead of weeds that need pulled, you knew them by name, and you understood their value? This imagined world is our family’s reality, and Green Path Academy is our way of reaching a hand behind us to the next person on the path. Held at the beautiful Clary Gardens botanical sanctuary, our classes are warm, hands-on, practical, and deeply rooted in the living art of herbalism. You will learn how to grow, gather, prepare, taste, formulate, and work with herbs in everyday life, not from a cold seminar at a podium, but in the spirit of a roundtable, where beginners, plant lovers, gardeners, homemakers, healers, and lifelong learners can sit together, ask questions, make remedies, and remember a more grounded way of caring for themselves and their families. Our Green Path Certificate Track is a 20-class practical herbalism course designed to guide students from seed to harvest to remedy-making and everyday herbal care. ---- REFUND POLICY: While all class fees are non-refundable, you may switch your investment toward a future class of your choice.
