Advanced Case Study

All in-person courses closed in support of social distancing, until further notice.

We are currently making plans to offer distance learning instead.

Contact us to receive notification about upcoming virtual courses.

This is an integrative program where Jasmyn Clift and a well-rounded group of visiting expert teachers describe complex client cases. Students use the information to create formulas for which they receive direct feedback.

Students are encouraged to employ the abundant Materia Medica they acquired in the Wild Seed School of Herbal Studies Intermediate Program or similar classes completed elsewhere. Participants gain confidence in their prior knowledge as well as explore a wide range of important new topics relevant to clinical practice.

• We accept small groups of committed, grateful, hard working students.
• We prioritize those who have graduated from the Wild Seed School Intermediate Program.
• In particular, we prioritize those who have pursued some sort of herbal studies since completing the program. Some of you have gone on to take other classes, some of you have done herbal apprenticeships, and some of you have done phone mentorship with our faculty, or with another clinical herbalist, and some of you have done self-study.
• There will likely be many more people interested in moving forward with their herbal training than we can accommodate at this point. Apologies for that.

Folks who sail through this level will be able to go on to Supervised Clinic at either the Compassion Club Wellness Centre, with Jasmyn or most especially with Maryann. We will be providing support, clients and a space as well as a huge apothecary for you to learn the art of clinical herbalism.

The Advanced Case Study consists of one 4-day weekend of class time per month for 6 months, plus guided self study (meaning lots of awesome homework!)

The Wild Seed School of Herbal Studies Advanced Case Study costs $3295 CAD

If accepted, applicants will be asked to pay tuition in full, or a non-refundable 20% deposit of $599 to secure their position. We would then make arrangements for a mutually agreeable payment plan.

See our refund policy for details (links to FAQ page).

Students must have successfully completed the Wild Seed School of Herbal Studies Intermediate Program or a similar program elsewhere to be eligible for this course.
