Our Integrated Diploma Course in Herbal Medicine & Aromatherapy is a ‘hybrid’ program combining an in-person Part One 9-day Summer School at the Bark Eater Inn retreat center, NY with an on-line Part Two 9-month ‘Sunday School’ series of 35 live & recorded Zoom 3-hour webinars with AC & Gabriel.
Our program is unique in combining in one live course the skills and knowledge required for forging or further developing clinical herbalism & aromatherapy as a professional practice, product-making or retail business.
