The Hermit’s Grove Master Herbalist Program

The Hermit’s Grove Master Herbalist Program was developed and founded by Paul Beyerl whose work as an herbal author and educator is well known and respected. The course is in-depth with no two students moving at the same pace. As a consequence, it is ideal for the correspondent student but does require self-motivation. We are a non-profit educational program. Our staff donates 100% of our labor and time as our gift to the serious student who is committed to a quality herbal education. There are 100 Units, a pay-as-you-go program, so that the student can afford books, herbs, equipment and time. We cover phytochemistry, anatomy and physiology in ten courses; more than 100 infectious diseases and other conditions, history, ethics and more. To date more than 50% of those who complete the program are RNs. Our goal is to bring the most education for the least student expense. The program is $35.00 per unit with some reduced options available. Our introductory packet is $5.00 which includes the most current description of the program (in detail), an application form and a complete catalog. We have a wonderful 11-acre site in the Mississippi River Valley area of southeastern Minnesota which houses our Retreat Center as well as our educational and administrative offices. Being centrally located will allow us to be more available to all students. The new library space has all of the 4500 books housed in the same building. It is bright, comfortable, and ideal for research and study.
