Welcome to Gathering Thyme School of Western Herbalism

Herb School

Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Clinical Herbalism.

Our students come from diverse backgrounds, places, and professions, but they share something unique and necessary. Our students are dedicated to connecting plants and humans for the benefit of each, and to do this, they have chosen to immerse
themselves into the world of community and clinical herbalism. Our faculty are some of the most skilled herbal educators in the country, and together we are ushering in the next generation of herbalists. We are proud of our lineage and proud of our students!

Events & Workshops

One-Time Events, Short-Term Classes & Hands-On Workshops

Our events are experiences designed to connect you to the world of plants, land and community care. Our offerings change with the seasons and include herb walks, classes on making herbal remedies and herbal gardening to name a few. We invite you to the multi-layered world of herbalism, gardening and kitchen witchery.

This year we are excited to expand our offerings into the intuitive arts and indigenous spiritual traditions, beginning later in 2024.

Gathering Thyme Herb School was a wonderful and rewarding experience. The incredible amount of valuable wisdom and information that I received stays with me today. It made me a better healer for myself and family and opened me up as a person.
