Who Is This Course For?
Do you feel like there’s a level of depth missing in your herbalism?
You’ve taken the courses and read the books. Perhaps you’re even practicing as a home or community herbalist, but still feel like there’s a depth of healing missing.
Do you worry that we are living at an unsustainable pace?
You recognize that things are moving rapidly and this is a pivotal time on Earth. You long for a slower, older, more natural rhythm but don’t know how to get there.
Do you long to leave a better world for your children and future generations?
You know that to equip your kids you need to model nature-connection to them but haven’t found an herbal learning course that honors this.
Do you find conventional ways of learning herbalism challenging?
You want to deepen your herbalism but know that deep learning isn't linear. You know that your intuition, relationships, and even dreams are important to your path but don’t know how to centralize them.
How is this course different than other herbalism courses out there?
- Focus on the other-than-intellectual ways of knowing.
- Grow your embodied experience beyond reading and book/computer learning.
- Bring intuition, senses, instincts and dreaming into your herbalism.
- Experience the plants as old and wise entities who we learn from and partner with in healing.
- Breathe interconnectivity into your herbal practice.
- Synchronize your rhythm to the pace of plants, the Earth and her seasons.
- Step outside of scheduled time and into ritual time where magic and true healing occur.
What Is A Feminine Way Into Herbalism?
A feminine way leans on the
other-than-rational faculties of:
⚘ Intuition
⚘ Instinct
⚘ Listening
⚘ Life experience
⚘ Story medicine
⚘ Dreams
⚘ Raising children
⚘ Tending community
⚘ The heart’s knowing
⚘ Belonging to the Web of Life
⚘ Ecological understanding
⚘ Reciprocal relationships with people, community,
land, plants, and Earth
A feminine way honors these faculties as equally valid to book knowledge, intellectual understanding and logical reasoning.
The best herbalists have both: Knowledge AND Relationship, Logic AND Intuition, Linear AND Non-Linear Understanding.
This course is an offering to balance the feminine and masculine forces on the planet, within ourselves, and in the field of herbalism.

Stef H.
I absolutely loved taking herbalism and dreams with Lauren Morgan!
This class completely reframed the way that I think about and interact with plants and the Earth. I loved learning both scientific and folk elements of herbalism and getting hands on practice with making plant medicines and working in her garden.
If you are looking for a world where we are grounded and connected to Mother Earth, her plants and the natural cycle, and you want to deepen your understanding of herbs and dreams then I can't recommend Lauren highly enough!

Liz H.
I can’t begin to describe how much working with Lauren has impacted my life. Lauren is so deeply knowledgeable and grounded in her approach to herbalism and dream work, and you leave her workshops feeling both empowered and humbled by the Earth and her abundance and beauty.
It is because of these classes that I have decided to continue in my education and become a certified herbalist. Lauren’s classes and events offer a healing balm to the soul, and you will leave feeling refreshed and revived.
Leandra W.
Mr. Rogers used to sing a song, "It's you I like". That soft gentle way of appreciating each person for them, that is Kimberly Gallagher's style. She wants you to be you as you learn. She is gentle and kind. The HerbMentor staff is patient and helpful. So new students and fellow learners, "It's you I like." Thanks Kimberly for being you!
Lu G.
Lauren weaves a wonderfully welcoming space for folks to learn about the magic of dreaming, the power of herbs, and how to walk through this life in harmony with Mother Earth.
Working with her has allowed me to remember my connection to both my inner wisdom and intuition and my world around me. I am confident in the practical knowledge I have learned to craft beautiful medicines for my family, and the spiritual practices that allow for more magic to unfold in my life.

I have created the foundation for a life of practicing folk herbalism and it is EXACTLY how I want to live my life. I'm super excited about it. It feels like the fantasy life I had as a child is actually real and true.
Julia M.
Learning with Lauren feels like being held in a sacred circle—her presence is warm, wise, and deeply supportive.
Cara C.
Love the message to practice slowing down, to absorb what is happening in the moment. And to practice being more intentional and with attention during those moments.
Theresa P.
After studying with Lauren, I feel even more strongly that plants literally shape our world as humans, and that our ability to develop a deep abiding appreciative relationship with them is key to our happiness and the health of the Earth.
The learning afforded by this course is so joyful, so nourishing, I can no longer imagine navigating a turn of the year’s wheel without it.
