      <p>Maybe you&rsquo;ve been learning on your own for a while. You&rsquo;ve read the books. Watched the videos. Made a few tinctures in your kitchen. But something is missing.</p>
      <p>You have knowledge scattered in a dozen places and no clear path forward. You&rsquo;re not sure which plants to trust for what. And you don&rsquo;t have anyone to ask when you get stuck.</p>
      <p>Or maybe you&rsquo;ve always wanted to study herbalism but never knew where to start. You just need someone to walk you through it&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;step by step, from the ground up.</p>

        <h2>A Structured Year of Learning&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;From Your Home and in the Field</h2>
        <p>This is not a self-paced course you do alone. It&rsquo;s a live, guided training program that runs from January through November.</p>
        <p>Every Sunday morning, you&rsquo;ll join Feather and your class on Zoom for a 2.5-hour class. You&rsquo;ll study plant identification, herbal medicine-making, body systems, and clinical applications&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;building your skills week by week in a clear sequence.</p>
        <p>In June, you&rsquo;ll travel to Sedona, Arizona for a 4-day botanical field trip. You&rsquo;ll identify plants in the wild, practice mindful harvesting, and spend a full day making herbal medicines in the kitchen together.</p>
        <p>By the end of the year, you&rsquo;ll have 120 hours of training, a library of herbal knowledge, hands-on field experience, and a community of fellow herbalists.</p>

        <p>Feather Jones is a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild and has been in clinical practice since the early 1980s. That&rsquo;s more than 40 years of working with plants and people.</p>

        <p>She has served twice as president of the American Herbalists Guild. She has been a Botanical Field Guide for the Sonoran University of Health Sciences. And she has trained hundreds of students through her programs over the years.</p>

        <p>Feather isn&rsquo;t a content creator reading from a script. She&rsquo;s a practicing clinical herbalist who teaches from decades of real experience&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;in the field, in the kitchen, and in the clinic.</p>

        <p>Her colleagues in the herbal community respect her deeply, and her students tend to stay connected long after their studies end. When you learn with Feather, you&rsquo;re learning from someone who has devoted her life to this work.</p>

          <p>The weekly classes are on Zoom, so you attend from home. The Sedona field trip in June is the one in-person component&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;and it&rsquo;s included in your tuition. Travel and lodging for the field trip are on your own.</p>

          <p>Plan for about 2.5 hours on Sunday mornings (11:00 AM&ndash;1:30 PM Eastern) for the live class. Some students also spend time during the week reviewing notes or working on medicine-making projects. But there&rsquo;s no heavy homework load.</p>

          <p>The weekly Zoom classes give you live, real-time instruction&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;not pre-recorded videos. You can ask questions, see plant specimens, and learn in conversation with Feather and your classmates. The Sedona field trip then puts you in the field for hands-on work with living plants. It&rsquo;s the best of both worlds.</p>

          <p>The Certificate of Completion recognizes that you finished the full program. It is not accredited by an external institution. What it represents is 120 hours of structured training with a Registered Herbalist&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;a foundation that many graduates have used to start their own practices and continue their herbal education.</p>
