Love Letters:

“You are a wonderful teacher, Amanda! Your gift for sharing plants and their medicine is so needed in this world. You make it very accessible for everyone. Thank you!”

“The one-on-one with plants is eye-opening. The herb and medicine preparation within a beautiful community of curious and engaged herb-workers feels like “coming home” to an ancient ritual.”

Clarissa- 2017 PMS Student

“My favorite part was how grounded in anti-colonial work the content was. It was really important for me to be a part of a journey with plants which included an intersectional analysis. I really appreciate how much care and thought was taken into making this course really accessible to BIPOC folks as well as making this a safe(r) space for BIPOC folks to reclaim ancestral knowledge of plant medicines. Thank you so much for all of the resources that you put together for us!”
