Herbal Healing for Horses - Year Long Herbal Practicum Program

Open to students who have attended my Herbal Healing for Horses classes and other experienced herbalists looking to deepen their knowledge, this course provides structure for those interested in deeper exploration of using herbs and flower essences with horses and includes medicine making, herbal formulating and seasonally based equine health practices.

 In addition, this program also includes holistic horsewomanship tools and perspectives to create vibrant well-being in horses.

This one of a kind program is seasonally based and runs for twelve months (you also have the option to do a season at a time). It will provide you with a powerful container to deepen your skills, increase your confidence, build connections with like minded horse women from all over the world and, if you feel called to gain certification in the art & science of using herbs with horses. Nothing compares to learning by doing! Click here to learn about my certificate program.

The seasonal design of this program allows for deeper connection to natural cycles, enhances your ability to develop equine seasonal health plans and utilizes overarching themes which strengthens learning.

The format includes the following components (which have been enhanced based on feedback from participants in the summertime program)  and is offered from January 2022 thru August 2022.

Six online meetings per season include:

• Seasonal Ritual/Women's Circles: Steeped in the feminine, magic and earth wisdom these seasonal circles will allow us to expand and deepen our connection to each other, the earth and horse wisdom. They will also provide a grounded, in-depth experience of the theme we will be working with for the season.
• Medicine Making Modules: These modules will occur once a season and will include live, seasonal medicine making sessions. They will provide skills, instruction and guidance on the use of a specific medicine making practice that will be used throughout the coming season with our horses and ourselves.
• Herbal Practice Circles: These two-hour circles will be focused on equine case studies, herbal medicine making, herbal formulation and the development of equine holistic health plans.
• Guest Speakers: World renowned professionals from the horse world as well as herbalists and healers from various traditions will join our circle multiple times a season to deepen and enhance our knowledge and wisdom.

In addition, practicum participants will receive a monthly guidebook which will provide deeper insights into the themes for each season  as well as recipes and other practices to deepen your experience with horses and plants.

Also as a special bonus, each participant will receive one 30-minute horsewomanship mentoring session per season with Jordan Stanton. These sessions will provide you with an opportunity to discuss challenges going on with your own horse and will deepen your understanding of the practical use of herbs, nutrition and horsewomanship in the process.
