Would you like to learn about herbal medicines & wild foods
without having to memorize tonnes of information?

 

People usually start learning about herbal medicines for 2 reasons:


1. They feel a special connection with Nature. Herbs align best with their values. 

2. They want resilience.  They’re fed up with doctors and pharmaceuticals. 

They want effective alternatives to synthetic chemicals.  Even better when they can find, grow or source these remedies locally.

In both cases…

You believe in the theory that plants can heal

BUT you want to know that

you really can trust plants to heal.

 
 

Welcome to the
Living Medicine Herb School,
where I teach …

  • Artists, Empaths, Foodies & Healers who already feel a special connection with Nature

  • Parents & Caregivers who want to feel CONFIDENT using local herbs to heal loved ones

This approach is called
Nature-Connected Herbalism.

It balances: 

  1. the reality that each herb is a beautiful gift, a living poem

    with

  2. the practicality of each remedy being safe and reliable when needed.

It’s an approach based on Connection, Empathy and Kinship with the Living World.

(It’s very different from “medical herbalism,” isn’t it?) 

Nature-Connected Herbalism prioritizes your experiences with plants first and foremost, and compliments those with traditional practices and scientific data.

“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. ”

What if the real medicine of a plant wasn’t found in its chemical makeup, but in its personality and role in the ecosystem?

 

Hi. I’m Garliq.

I’ve taught hundreds of people like you, to successfully heal with herbs.  And you may have noticed, I have an uncommon take on herbalism.

One of my superpowers is balancing the “spiritual” and the “practical” sides of herbalism.

This keeps you aligned with your values and trusting your lived experience.

These days, I’m very excited about the overlap between personal healing and our collective cultural repair. Because I love sharing the incredible empowerment and life-changing connections that herbs offer to those who will listen to them.

You’ve found what you’re looking for if…

  • You want to reduce your reliance on pharmaceuticals and mainstream medicine

  • You’re excited to feel the empowerment that comes from using your homemade remedies to heal yourself and your family

  • You’d like to be able to treat common ailments using local herbs that are entirely safe and effective

  • You don’t think it’s “crazy” that people can have deep, profoundly meaningful relationships
    with plants    , that are actually incredibly intelligent

  • You learn best with hands-on experiences that engage all your senses  so that you’re learning happens on multiple levels

Instead, this approach is about making connections. Understand that Plants are aware, intelligent beings.

The best way to learn about herbal medicines is to focus on connection!

Develop deep, meaningful relationships with a handful of local plants.  Even go 1 at a time!

Focus on learning the personality of the plant.  

  • Does it like sun or shade?  

  • Wet or dry feet?

  • What plant, insect and animal friends does it have?

  • How do you feel when you sit with it?

  • etc…

Plants truly are the Peoples’ Medicine.
