Today is the sixth and last day of the practical herbal medicine course I am teaching at the exquisite @borgosantopietro in Tuscany.

It was such a joy to spend time with everyone on the course, to be surrounded by such a superb landscape, including acres of organic Mediterranean herbs, and to enjoy the most incredible food for each and every meal. 🍝

Thank you to everyone who made it possible especially our wonderful host @jeanette_groen_thoettrup ❤️🌷

I’m already looking forward to coming back next year for more teaching in this special setting full of herbal inspiration 🌿

A wonderful couple of days spent working on practical skills such as pressing tinctures, making salves and using the copper still, as well as spending time in the herb garden meeting the plants we have been studying in the course so far.

Hard to believe that there are only two more modules left in this course!
