A 10-week online course on earth-based healing traditions and folk herbalism.

Learn how to work with the medicine of the Earth, the elements and plants through the traditions of Curanderismo.

SOHEM goes beyond herbalism and dives deep into ancestral wisdom on healing, spirituality, ritual and ceremony.

If you are longing to connect with ancestral traditions of ritual and ceremony for the healing of mind, body, and spirit—while honoring the sacred lineages that have preserved and protected these ways—then this is the course for you.

Our ancestors knew the importance of observing the different patterns and cycles of nature. They understood how to bridge the spiritual realms into the physical plane for deep healing and transformation.

In this journey, we remember together. We honor the wisdom handed down to us, learning to walk with the elements, to work with the plants as allies, and to return to earth-based practices that restore harmony within and around us.

You will learn about folk herbalism through indigenous cosmovision, what herbs to use for physical healing, their spiritual use and meaning, traditional methods of diagnosing imbalance, and how to incorporate ritual and ceremony for healing and protection.

We will sit with the teachings of the four sacred elements—Air, Fire, Water, and Earth—connecting with their medicine and meaning, and understanding how they live within nature and within ourselves. We will call upon them in ritual, asking them to help us restore balance in our bodies and in our lives.
