Herbs for Living
herbalism for people with emotions
Note: I will be revamping this course for February 2024. Stay tuned!
This 12-month online course will walk you through life’s big feelings.
Each class will guide you through medicinal herbalism, personal ritual, and delicious support for life’s major emotions and processes.
Topics
Boundaries
Anger + Resentment
When you’re Stuck
Existential Despair
Actually Taking Care of Yourself
Celebration + Parties
Being Brutally Honest with Yourself
Focus + Clarity
Grieving + Sadness
Managing Holiday Stress
Rest
Manifesting + Intentions
Each emotion/process is paired with a health topic.
For instance, Herbs for Boundaries will also touch upon Immune Health. Because, as you know, our emotions can manifest in our bodies, and physical imbalances are usually connected to an emotional/spiritual imbalance.
We’ll meet once a month for a live class on Zoom.
The class will be recorded, and both the video recordings and a separate audio recording will be available within 48 hours afterward. You’ll also get a set of handouts, including a book of recipes + rituals.
Classes will meet on the first Tuesday of the month from 3:00-5:00pm EST.
YES the classes are recorded.
Cost: $465 or $39/month for 12 months
Bonus for paying in full: 30-minute call with me on any topic at all (within reason), to be used March-November.
I will email you with info about scheduling this call within one week of your registration.

FAQ
I’m a beginner. Is that ok?
Yes! This is a perfect way to begin an herbal journey. You’ll get all the info you need to work with the herbs, remedies, and rituals we cover.
How long do I have access to the material?
Indefinitely! All the handouts are downloadable, and the handouts + recordings will be available in your online classroom into the foreseeable future. If I ever take the course down, you’ll have ample notice.
Do I have to attend live?
Nope! In fact, most people don’t. Everything is recorded. And if you’d rather listen than watch video recordings, downloadable audio recordings will be available as well.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yep! You can pay monthly or all at once.
If you pay all at once you get a special bonus: a 30-minute call with me on any topic (within reason) to be used at some point between March - November.
What happens if I sign up mid-year?
Then you’ll watch some of the classes as recordings and you’ll have the chance to watch the others live.
Is there a community space or a way to ask you questions?
There’s a community space within the online classroom where folks can chat and ask me questions. You can also ask me questions if you attend classes live, and you’re always welcome to ask a question ahead of time that I answer during class.
Hi, I’m Amanda.
I help herbalists, plant enthusiasts, and spiritual types to connect with the magic & medicine of the plant world to foster a profound sense of wellness and belonging on this earth.
I’ve been working with plants for years, first as a veggie farmer, then as an herb farmer and medicine-maker, until I switched to teaching full-time in 2017. I began offering clinical consultations in 2022.
Locust Light Farm is both a physical space — the Apothecary Garden (currently we’re between gardens)— and an online space in which we make delicious bevs, celebrate the seasons, and add the sparkle of magic to our herbal remedies.
