History
Classes were originally a part of Herbalist Emily Sanders' practice Active Alchemy. However, as interest in the herbal arts has increased, she moved more in the direction of herbal education and founded the first herb school in Santa Barbara in an effort to reconnect people to healing themselves, their land & their community.
Specialties
The Artemisia Academy of Herbal Arts & Healing provides community & land based herbal education for Santa Barbara and the Southern California region. We currently offer herb walks about uses of local & native plants, hands-on medicine making workshops, and an 8-month Herbal Apprentice Program, giving students who want to begin their journey as a Community Herbalist a place to get their feet wet with a comprehensive introductory course to Herbalism & Holistic Healing.
