144 Pages 6x9

Ebook  $9.95

The Herbalist: Your Healer’s Journey offers succinct practical tips and insights for anyone either already practicing or just starting out in herbalism and other natural healing modalities.  It deals with everything from redefining health and healing the various skills and steps we need to take, to serving marginalized communities and dealing with money matters, essential self-care, and how to determine your optimal personal specialty, role and niche in this amazing field.  

Unlike his previous books such as The Plant Healer’s Path and The Practice of Herbalism, the 29 chapters of The Herbalist were transcribed directly from his short Plant Healers Path video recordings posted on the HerbRally youtube channel.  

“Get ready to be inspired, uplifted, and empowered to be the very best healer you can be, and to be a misfit health provider without reservation!  I am excited for the herbal community and the world at large to benefit from the teachings of The Plant Healer’s Path for generations to come.”

––Mason Hutchison (The HerbRally Schoolhouse)

The result is this volume’s unbridled conversational tone, quickly getting to the promised points with what you might agree are scant filters.  This is a faster tempo, no-brakes version of Wolf Hardin’s characteristic teachings, described by associates as“wildling counsel,” “plant hearted sermons,” and “green cheerleading.”  It is as much as anything a compendium of hopeful inspiration and relentless encouragements –– the “you and your healing work matters,” the “magic is alive,” “it’s ok to be different,” “you can do it” and “ain’t it wondrous” book!

“Wonder-filled, indeed, is the shared Plant Healer mission of helping this planet, our diverse cultures, these lands and people, helping to heal from disease and disharmony and debility, contributing to wholeness in times of separation, polarization, and isolation.  Wonderful is the incredible intensity of your empathy and caring, your determination to assist, and the poetic grace and utter delight you bring to your personalized version of our great and needed work.  And wonderful, too, the plants that you work with, learn from, and share the blessings of.  In every herbal root and leaf –– as in every one of you –– I see miracles of mending, evocations of evolving beauty and meaning and purpose.”      ––Jesse Wolf Hardin
