Greetings,

I have been thinking of signing up for the course for a few months.   I am a fairly experienced herbalist with some educational background.    I have a business called Bear Woman Herbs but I am taking a break from it to some degree to go through cancer treatment.    I love the communication style of Dr. Patrick Jones.       I want to learn more about herbal applications for animals.      I have five beautiful labrador retrievers who benefit from my knowledge and research, but I desire to learn more.       I am a wild food and medicine forager.     I raise and harvest several of my own herbs and sell a few commercially.      Jewelweed, poke root, bee balm (monarda fistulosa).   I have many others and do let my good weeds go to town where they can.     I love to can and eat Nettles, lambsquarter, and wild watercress.   I am blessed to live in an area that is chemical-free and I can forage tree bark, mushrooms, and many plants.

I look forward to reading the forum questions and learning from my peers.     I practice Beaver Medicine – which means building a community for others to thrive.

Lori Matthews, Bear Woman
