Our goal at the Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine is to train mt shastaindividuals in this tradition – providing knowledge and skills, and nurturing the individual student’s talents. We approach herbalism from an indigenous perspective; offering a non-Western, non-scientific perspective of viewing health, the plants and the earth. The plant people were the first beings, our elders and teachers, and hold the oldest knowledge.

Plants were also people’s first medicine and we are committed to passing on this knowledge. We offer a full-time four month certificate program as well as part-time courses. Class size is kept small to ensure a productive learning environment.

The Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine is co-founded and directed by Karyn Sanders and Sarah Holmes.
