 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Medicine is everywhere, so why spray the plants with poison that can leach into the soil? Living in harmony with nature includes accepting the good with the bad. Every season has its reason! I love how the course is created by people who obviously have a deep love for nature, medicine and all the inhabitants of our earth. Healing ourselves begins with healing nature and I've felt this lesson more with this course than anywhere else.

How nature has everything we need in order to heal ourselves. This course was a magical experience from start to finish and I'm glad to have access to the material for life. From the wonderful and quirky teachers to the essential learning and sharing of knowledge, this course is all-encompassing, down to earth and spiritually uplifting all at once.

I feel simultaneously confident in applying what I've learned and like I still have so much more to explore and delve into in years to come. Without question worth the time and money! I cannot rate the program, the staff, or the materials highly enough!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a very intense and in depth class on all things herbs. At the same time it is interactive, fun and easy to learn. One can learn at a surface level or go as in depth as you would like. There is plenty of material, well written, and beautiful illustrations. The video's show hands on information. Well worth the time and price.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chestnut School programs are a self-test on commitment and discipline since they are self-study courses and projects. Overall, the courses are a labor of love and you can see it and feel it. My favorite parts are the videos, the recipes, the photography. I truly enjoyed taking this journey and have learned so much on many levels.

Through the Herbal Immersion Course you will learn how to identify, grow, connect with, and make medicine with so many plant allies. The projects push you to really learn the material so that you are confident in propagation and medicine making on your own. Incredible breadth and depth - great value in this course!

Helped me get connected to what I’ve always been drawn too. The course material was so well written and the videos were whimsy as well as professional. Highly recommended.
