Classes, Lectures, & Workshops
To learn traditional herbalism, one must follow the path of being an apprentice where the experienced practitioner passes information from their teachers to the student, along with knowledge they’ve learned along the way. Dr. Petley takes the naturopathic philosophy of doctor as teacher seriously in his clinic and classroom because it is through hands-on workshops that we fully experience all that herbalism has to offer. Dr. Petley lectures on both naturopathic and botanical medicine and his classes can be found here.
