On April 21st I was lucky to get to sit in on Nicole Telkes’ basic and more advanced herbology classes that she teaches for her school, the Wildflower School of Botanical Medicine. We talked a lot about taxonomies and botany, and along with Sam Coffman, who teaches herbology for The Human Path, I learned some new techniques for treating illnesses such as Lyme Disease.

After class, we did some dry goods canning and talked about plans for many of The Human Path and Wildflower School students to go to Nicaragua this fall to hone our herbal medicine and first aid skills within a rural community.

All in all it was a great spring day down at the Human Path Quarry with a lot of great folks!
