Culinary Herbalism Mentorship 2026

A Journey With the Healing, Magical Plants All Around Us 

with Tara Lanich-LaBrie, in-person

*This course is for all levels-you do not need to be an herbalist or cook*

Located at our organic, No-till, Vegetable, Flower & Herb Farm in Boulder, Colorado

Join me on the Farm and around the table for a 6-month journey through the seasons as we learn about healing, magical plants and how to create with them, listen to them, and learn from them through a variety of experiential, heart-centered practices.

Build your home & kitchen apothecary each month with hands-on experience:  harvesting and creating with plants like rose, tulsi, elderflower and elderberry, nettles, yarrow, wild oregano, and so many more. 

We will gather beginning in May and conclude our time together in October. 

We will learn from the plants growing around us over delicious, food-as-medicine herbal recipes, like Nettle and Lovage Soup, Dandelion Root Drinking Chocolate, or Elderflower Sorbet. 

We will meet and visit with the plants, learning to listen, connect, honor, and breathe with them.

We will create our apothecary medicines and culinary pantry treats together like Dandelion Root Bitters, Lilac Flower Essence, or Rose Glycerite. 

Classes will meet once a month for 6 Months on these dates:
