Through his school, this is something that he offers.There are two schools that offer herbal degrees, but as 7song shares, it can be difficult to make a decent income from being just a practitioner, and the better income opportunities are to be found in education.

Pat's an experienced teacher, a herbalist, a published author and founder of the Total Health and Education Centre.

| 1/18/26 |  164. Lutruwita Herb Farm Tour: Tatiana Dawn on Herbal Education | We made this episode to fill you all in on how the recent herb farm tour went. In December I took a beautiful group of existing and emerging herb farmers down to Lutruwita aka Tasmania, to visit three different scale organic herb farms. It was such an incredible adventure that I am still integrating and digesting.We visited a small, medium and large scale herb farm on the tour, having the honour of being welcomed to Gould’s farm, Hop Valley Farm, and Marleen Herbs. My intention was/is to see more potent organic herb production in Australia. This is such an important thing to be putting our energy into, considering that over 90% of the herbs in commercial circulation are grown overseas. Its estimated that 90% of what you see at most retail outlets, in herbal preparations and herbal/naturopathic dispensaries is imported.Ann Armbrecht in her book The Business of Botanicals, states that herbs can change hands as many as 10 to 15 times on their journey from the original source (farmer or wildcrafter) to the final product on a store shelf. Even with strict regulations in Australia, the herbs that we import are often adulterated, fumigated, irradiated, misidentified and stored in poor conditions resulting in poor quality. Often the growers/foragers/manufacturers/companies don’t actually even like their job, let alone care about the ‘consumer’ of the herb. So imagine what energy is being transferred into the herb! I would like to extend boundless gratitude to our wonderful farm hosts, Greg Whitten, Kala, Monica Francia, Cara, Ronald, Marleen and Emma Van de Winckel. It really was such an honour to be welcomed into the homes and farms of these inspiring, powerful and humble farmers. To be in the energy of their down to earth, salt of the land lifestyles. All of them were so forthcoming and would love to see more herb farmers emerging around Australia.Thanks also to the beautiful souls who came on this adventure and for being so flexible and adaptable with all the twists and turns.SHOWNOTES:The Business of BotanicalsHerbal HarvestEmail me if you would like to purchase a PDF for $40: info@alchemillaherbals. com.au2026 Lutruwita Herb Farm Tour expression of interest:https://forms.gle/RLqNUHSdbwHCbpQW6*BUY ME A CUPPA*If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels our work and time, which is given for free.

A Radical Responsibility Requiring Loving Discipline - Hayley Agnew on Self Care with Herbs | In this episode, I chat with Hayley Agnew, a mischievous wearer of mismatched earrings, who is also a naturopath, Bowen therapist & yoga teacher and thrives on human and nature connection. She loves, lives & works in regional South Australia and weaves her magic from her clinic 'Our Healing Place'.Hayley and I chat about self care being a responsibility to ourselves that requires a loving discipline and a belief in ourselves being worthy of care. And meeting the resistance that often arises when we’re building a new way of being.Hayley shares her deep connection with Rose and the beautiful wisdom this plant has shared with her throughout her life about healthy boundaries and renewal and strength.Another favourite Hayley speaks about is Shatavari, traditionally a special women’s herb- I love her take on the more energetic aspects of this plant.We bring in Motherwort and Calendula and circle back to a more in depth dive into Rose medicine.There’s so many gems in this one, I can’t wait for you to listen in!**CONNECT**You can connect with HAYLEY via her website Our Healing Place or stay in touch via instagram here.You can connect with JESS via instagram and facebook here and here, join her newsletter community here, buy her handmade herbal products here or book an appointment here.**BUY ME A CUPPA**If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels my work and time, which is given for free.

| 10/9/25 | 151: A Year in Review: Sacred Herbalism | Here are the themes that are emerging in the Sacred Herbalism Conversation:1) Sacred Herbalism is a method for cultural repair2) Plants are collaborators, not commodities3) Plants have an intelligence and an awareness that we can communicate with and hear through deep listening.4) Many of us are seeking healing beyond the physical; plants can help us not only heal trauma but support the healing of soul wounds through their deeper lessons.5) This conversation is often happening at the edge of language; since many of these ideas do not easily belong in our culture, holding them and exploring them requires creative 're-languaging'Thanks for being here!*BUY ME A CUPPA*If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels our work and time, which is given for free.

| 9/8/25 |  147. Remembering the Plants are Not Commodities: Monica Francia on Sacred Herbalism | Monica Francia (she/her) is a Naturopath based in lutruwita / Tasmania. She is a consulting Naturopath, medicine maker, Teacher and Medicinal Herb Farmer at her small scale organic and biodynamic herb farm - Hop Valley Herb Farm. She is also the Coordinator for Herbalists Without Borders Hobart, a non-profit providing accessible health care in nipaluna / Hobart and surrounds. In this episode we dive into a many layered topic that feels really important - how we can avoid the commodification of herbs. Seeing plants as commodities is almost imporssible to avoid, when we live in a world that is steeped in capitalist views of nature, and evenmoreso when our livelihoods are based on selling herbs in some for or other. Is this something you think about? What do you do in your plant walk that helps you move away from planet as commodity and towards plant as living being, teacher, ally or friend?Herbal commodities are virtually the opposite of sacred herbalism; it feels pertinent that we’ve unpacked a few layers of this here. Let me know your thoughts! For all our patron subscribers, Monica has gifted you all a super useful, clear and concise e-book on medicine making that she has created for her in person workshops and I love it! If you aren’t a patron subscriber yet, just click the link in the shownotes and you can easily support the podcast and get access to heaps of cool herbal info from us four presenters and many of our guests.

Permaculture Kitchen Design with Cecilia Macaulay: Permaculture Herbalism | Cecilia Macaulay is a home harmoniser, who helps you declutter, reset, and turn your physical home into an ecosystem that supports you. Her approach is especially suited to people who want a great life, but are navigating ADHD and nervous system dysregulation. She is a Permaculture designer of great enthusiasm, who has spent over three decades running workshops internationally. Cecilia's 'how-to' guide for sharing homes smoothly appears in David Holmgren's book 'Retrosuburbia'. She is the author of the upcoming book 'How to Create a Sacred Space, Anywhere in Your Home', and co-author (with Professor Yukio Ota) of LoCoS: Visual Language for Global Communication. She has a Substack where she shares hard-won insights and adventure stories of her wanderings, projects and experiments in paradiseology. She is available for private home harmonising in Australia and Japan, which feels like cubby-house building for grown-ups. She is often found in exotic locations, where her clients tempt her to stick around and supervise, till their paradise vision has taken hold in body, mind, daily habits and relationships. If you need guidance on force-free ways to set up joyful homes and communities, Cecilia might be the missing link, so reach out to her!

| 8/23/25 |  145. Launch of Herb Connect! And Preparing for a Paradigm Shift: Naomi Ingleton on Herbal Education | Today is an exciting day for the Australian herbal community, as Naomi Ingleton launches Herb Connect, an online marketplace and hub to connect herb growers to apothecaries, medicine makers, practitioners and anyone wanting fresh vital potent Australian herbs!Naomi Ingleton is herb farmer and educator who’s spent her life working with food and plants. After years in hospitality, food production, and business advisory, she’s come full circle to her roots — founding The Farmacy Collective and Herb Connect to support farmers, share her love of medicinal plants, and inspire communities to grow and use herbs for food, health, and connection.Herb Connect — a platform that links Australian herb growers large and small with buyers who want fresh, local, and trusted herbs. Naomi started Herb Connect to support farmers with diverse income streams and to give consumers access to herbs with real provenance, not imports of unknown origin. It is at the tender beginning- Naomi has developed the framework but what we need is for all the small, medium and large scale growers to sign up and start selling their fresh/freshly dried herbs. This is not a space for herbal preps such as tinctures/infused oils/salves- it is purely for fresh material. Farmers/Growers can list their herbs and can have a bio so that you know exactly who you are buying from. And then the practitioners/medicine makers/retail outlets can also put up their 'wants' to give the farmers more direction in what to grow. The website will also be a hub, linking herb farmers to mentorship and other support.There is a real momentum happening, for Australia to become more self sufficient in our herb supply, and it's a momentum that The Elder Tree is really backing this momentum, and forming alliances with people like Naomi Ingleton is a wonderful way to actualise this momentum.
