Herbalism 101: A Six-Week Journey Into Self-Healing begins January 13th! 🌿 join in person or online.

A six-week live course designed to be practical, warm, and deeply empowering. You won’t just hear and read about herbs, you will learn how to turn them into real medicines you can use with confidence. Healing for you & your family 🌿

Led by John Finch, who has been teaching herbal medicine-making for over 40 years.

✨ What you’ll learn: • How to source and store high-quality herbs • Making medicinal teas, syrups, and infusions • Extracting herbs in alcohol, vinegar, glycerin, and oils • Creating salves, balms, lotions, and creams • Using herbs externally—compresses, poultices, soaks, and more • How to continue learning with trusted herbal resources
Classes meet Tuesdays, 7:00–9:30 p.m. and are intentionally relaxed and interactive. Questions are welcome. Curiosity is encouraged. No prior experience is needed—just a genuine interest in learning.

💬 What past students often say is that this course changes how they see health altogether. They leave not only with skills, but with confidence—knowing they can support sleep, digestion, immunity, and everyday wellness naturally and responsibly.

💰 Course fee: $200 📍 Attend in-person or live online
🌱 Registration is now open. Selfhealschool.com or send us a message / call John.
 Join us and step into the tradition of self-reliance, care, and herbal wisdom.
