Looking to learn about herbal medicines and wild foods in the Kootenays?
Are you open to also discovering the deeper wisdoms the plants share?
“The Herbal Integration Course completely transformed my relationship with plants—from one of passive, shallow and intellectual appreciation, to one of deeper love, soft intuition, understanding and respect. I no longer just see the plant world as ‘nice nature stuff we should protect,’ but rather as a beautifully complex and diverse ecosystem of friends who have a core role to play in the healing of the world, including myself. ”

Hi. I’m Garliq.
I’m very excited these days about the overlap between personal healing and our collective cultural repair. Once herbs have touched your life with healing, you see the need to bring it to more people.
I love sharing the incredible empowerment and life-changing connections that herbs offer to those who will listen to them.
SPECIAL NOTE:
The Kootenay School of Herbal Medicine has moved to Victoria, BC.
It has also transitioned into the Living Medicine Project where the focus has shifted from teaching about herbs to actually helping people heal - emotionally as well as physically.
Herbal medicines are still a big part of the healing process of course, but now are combined with emotional awareness skills, deep nature connection and even hypnosis.
Herbal teaching will continue in a more integrated fashion and due to covid, virtually. Check here for herbal offerings.
I keep tabs on classes in the Koots!
If you’re looking for in-person herb classes around Nelson, send me a note and I’ll put you in touch with the right people.
