Forager's Path School of Botanical Studies



Looking for more information about foraging, making your own herbal medicine, some continuing education hours for certification. Check out this web site for information and their schedule of classes:
Forager's Path School of Botanical Studies

The Forager's Path School of Botanical Studies specializes in herbal medicine of the American Southwest and the healing traditions of Indian Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The focus of our school is to provide you with quality learning experiences in both theories and practical application of healing traditions and herbal medicine. We offer a wide range of classes, plant walks, and workshops that are designed to enable you to become more knowledgeable about your own health needs, and to provide you with the essential skills to help others.

Our director and main instructor is Mike Masek. He has been studying herbs for more than 20 years and considers himself a lifelong student. He is a graduate of the Clinical Herbalist program at the New Mexico Herb Institute, directed by Tieraona Low Dog, MD, and a graduate of the Ayurvedic Healing program from the American Institute of Vedic Studies, instructed by Dr. David Frawley, OMD. He completed a three year apprenticeship in Chinese healing and herbalism while living in Asia. He has been a member of the American Herbalist Guild for over 15 years. Mike has a deep knowledge and understanding of plants and healing which he enjoys teaching to others during our courses and workshops.
