You will be posted a handmade organic Calendula herbal preparation to take for one whole moon cycle, beginning on the new moon.

In this particular herbal moon, I encourage involvement with the kids. You can do this with or without you children (if you have any). The children will be welcome to join in on the herbal meetup and the group calls if they are feeling engaged and want to share in the journey.

You will need to be growing Calendula- get planting now if you haven’t already! One nursery that sticks plants online is Mudbrick Cottage- get a few here.

This course will be completed online with the option of a herbal meetup with other Calendula Moon students. These meetups will take place in the Mullumbimby area. There will be 2 group calls in the Calendula Moon. See all of the key dates here. You will have access to the course materials for minimum of one year and you will be able to download all of the videos and PDFs. It is recommended to complete this course on your computer rather than phone or tablet.

I am Tatiana, the owner and founder of Alchemilla Herbals, a small business based in NNSW, Australia.

My mission is to empower my community to take their health into their own hands and feel confident about growing, harvesting/foraging and manufacturing their own medicinal preparations.

I also love to play my part in assisting people to reconnect with nature and themselves, and rediscover themselves as part of nature. Herbal Medicine can be such a powerful healthy ally- and sometimes just being with the plant can do the healing!

Meandering Medicine is my first online blended course, and my intention is to provide a space of learning about and connecting to medicinal plants one at a time in a deeply connected and sustainable way.
