Beverly McFarland: Herbal Medicine

In the time-honored traditional sense, an
herbalist is someone with a deep connection to
the natural world, a person who knows just
where to look in the garden, forest or field for
the healing plants, how to gather these plants
with reverence and respect—and how to
use them.

Most of Beverly’s courses are taught in the
traditional manner—outdoors, with the plants.
She gives you the opportunity to get to know
and learn from the plants directly, deepening
your inner wisdom and intuition along the way.

Things your course may include, but are not
limited to:

• Plant identification
• Classification of herbs by action
• Body systems
• Symptoms of imbalance
• Medicine-making
• Herbal remedy gardens
• Resources for herbs and equipment

Beverly offers four courses on the herbs of New
Mexico and the Southwest, catering to all levels
of interest and experience:

Summer Apprenticeship Program
Herb Walks
Sunday Soups
Herbal Remedy Gardens

You have definitely changed the
way I think about herbs compared
with the intellectual way we learned
in acupuncture school. Seeing the
plants in their environment
provides a much deeper experience
than learning about an herb that is
already dried and prepared.
—Carol

Learning the processes
of tincturing—what fun!
It is like learning to
cook all over again.
—Toni

Beverly's respect and
reverence for plants is
an inspiration. She not
only taught us how to
identify herbs, she also
encouraged us to sit
and get to know and
love them.
—Dave
