Come spend a week in the heart of Appalachia, one of the most botanically diverse regions in North America and home to an extraordinary abundance of medicinal plants. The mountains, forests, and meadows around Asheville have supported generations of herbalists, and this landscape continues to offer a living classroom unlike any other.

This one-week immersion is a rare opportunity to step fully into the study of herbalism in the place where the plants themselves are your teachers. Each day you will work directly with medicinal herbs, building practical skills in plant identification, ethical wildcrafting, and hands-on medicine making while deepening your understanding of herbal wisdom.

This training is designed not only to teach skills but to create an experience. Spending time learning in nature, working with your hands, and sharing space with a community of students allows the knowledge to take root in a way that is both meaningful and lasting. Many students find that a week of focused, immersive study offers a depth of learning that is difficult to access in everyday life and can be paired beautifully to help support an online herbal education.

This immersion is located just outside of Asheville, NC a place of remarkable beauty and inspiration. Whether you are traveling from another part of the country or joining us from the local community, this program offers the chance to immerse yourself in the rhythms of the mountains while developing your path as an herbalist.

We invite you to come study, explore, and connect with the plants in one of the most beautiful and abundant landscapes in the country, and to leave with new skills, new relationships, and a deeper sense of connection to the living world.
