I am absolutely delighted – and very, very excited – to tell you that this year I am teaching ‘Mastering Herbal Medicine’ from the stunningly beautiful setting of Borgo Santo Pietro in Tuscany, Italy.
As passionate advocates of holistic well-being, our estate is all about living in harmony with nature and the land that we eat and heal from by sharing the ancient wisdom to master herbal medicine. Borgo Santo Pietro has joined forces with Anne to distil her decades of herbal expertise to pass on to our beloved community of like-minded people. We aim to provide you with an exceptional foundation for your personal journey into herbal medicine.
Found in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, Borgo Santo Pietro is a 5-star boutique hotel and estate, with restaurants, a holistic spa, and an extensive working farm. Their organic skincare range, Seed to Skin, is created on site in their custom built lab and they cultivate organic herbs for essential oils that they blend into healing formulas to uplift, ground and relax the mind and body. Full details of the course are on their website – so do go and have a look!
During both of the practical workshops, students will have the opportunity to collect the herbs growing at Borgo Santo Pietro and in the surrounding areas. We will be able to enjoy the extensive gardens and woodland there and you will marvel at the fields of herbs and vegetables – all grown organically.
Aims and Further Studies
This course will provide you with the confidence and competence to treat common ailments safely and effectively at home. You will gain detailed knowledge of herbal medicine, how and why it works, and for which common ailments.
The course is complete in itself and there is no need for further studies. It is a good grounding for further studies into areas which may interest you, such as women’s health and the menopause, fertility, treatment of children, treatment of the elderly, Ayurvedic medicine and more.
