In our classes, we prioritize the incorporation of social justice and health justice principles. We are committed to establishing a space that is inclusive, welcoming, and accessible to all who wish to explore the world of herbalism. We kindly ask that both instructors and participants interact with one another in a manner that demonstrates respect and inclusivity, irrespective of gender, class, race/culture, sexual orientation, religion, immigration status, political beliefs, age, ability, or appearance. In all Farmacy programs, we acknowledge and work to  dismantle systemic oppression, in order to address and work towards dismantling the deeply ingrained inequalities and injustices that persist in our society.

Dinalyn Spears 2016-2018
I have recently completed Level I and II of the Herbal Foundation Program at Farmacy Herbs.  It took me many years to decide to decide to enroll in a formal herbal course.  I have been studying medicinal plants for many years on my own.  As a Native American, I have been studying and cataloging the medicinal and edible plants utilized by my Tribe for many years.  Completing the Farmacy Herbs course allowed me to integrate traditional Native American Knowledge with herbalism practices from around the world  -- providing me with a holistic look at herbal treatments for a multitude of acute and chronic conditions to promote health and wellbeing.  Creator led me to Farmacy Herbs.  I was awed by thoroughness and depth the course provided, and I will build on this information to provide my people with holistic health and reintroduce the use of medicinal medicines.  Mother Earth protects us all, it is now time to utilize her teachings to protect our health for the next 7 generations.

Farmacy’s Level 2 classes are an eye-opening educational experience that takes you one step closer to becoming a community herbalist. Mary does a wonderful job of sharing her knowledge about the ins and outs of herbal consultations as well as bringing in guest teachers from diverse backgrounds to broaden our field of knowledge. I would highly recommend these classes to anyone looking to take their herbal practice a step further.
