Voyage with Culpeper

Practical Herbalism from the Renaissance

Historic - Classic - Inspiration

The Rosetta Stone to archaic herbal texts and remarkable insight into the man that shaped so much of herbalism as we know it.
"...deep into the world of Culpeper's herbs."
PE
"...made Culpeper's work very accessible.."  
MM
"a treat to hear how to understand the language."
MF

Nicholas Culpeper was the 17th-century rebel herbalist who wrote a "complete herbal" to empower the  "common people."

Culpeper's writings represent the primal source of the English language herbal tradition.

These classes are an exploration of the medical terminology of the time, along with valuable herbal remedies with Francis Bonaldo, LAc & Matthew Wood, MS.

In these classes, we let the language come alive in our imagination, visualizing the scenery of the times. This is truly rich material, coming from a 'pre-molecular' worldview of the universe and our place in it. This is the first step to reacquainting ourselves with the language of the time, with practical and creative uses of the remedies in our day.  

All can benefit from the herbal and traditional medical insights given here! 

We discuss cases and applications of the material suitable for all levels of herbal practice. Culpeper left his masterpiece for anyone willing to peer into it with an inquisitive mind.
