Thought we might want to start a thread to discuss how its going. I just got a few books in the mail. Hopefully can order a few more soon. How are you getting started?
I have one book that I purchased before the course. I need another or two. Financially I am a little stretched thin but I will work it out.

My general way of working anything is to do a overview of everything first. So I have printed up to class 16 I think. I am going to do an over-read soon, then get what I need from there. I do have a boarders coupon (30% off) begging to be used, so that may go to a herbal book. Just need to decide which one.

i just bought some of the books, i have a few already. the coolest thing happened, i ordered Hygeia by Jeannine Parvati Baker, used, and it is a signed copy!!! I think next week I will start to focus on the course.
Well, since I registered, I've visited the website once. It's going to take me a while to get started, but I look forward to reading about everyone's progress.
I'll be moving at a VERY slow pace with the class but I couldn't resist signing up. It looks like a fantastic program and I am so excited to get into it once school starts to let up!
Fortunately, I already had the required books - I've been interested in and incorporating herbalism into my life for the past few years.
I'm also starting really slowly. I am moving in less than a month and my DH and I are trying to pack up all of our belongings as well as our children's. So, I'm probably not going to get overly involved until we are settled and my books are unpacked!

I knew her, she was an amazing woman. One of my sons is in the background of one of her lectures.

she was amazing! i studied with her in the mid 80's, i did her midwifery or unmidwifery home study course and took a workshop with her....what a pioneer!
I have books on order, and am ready to start. I am curious about the first practical assignment. Do I wait for my books to get recipes, or just dive right in? I want to be sure that the stuff I am making will be stuff I will use!!
Demetria-I have your book on my wishlist for when it comes out. I think it will be very beneficial!!
