About me:
The Wildflower School of Botanical Medicine(WSBM) is dedicated to providing a high quality educational program in holistic herbal medicine. Teaching focuses on things generally not found in books and leans heavily on oral tradition. Nicole is a firm believer in experiential learning. Classes mix the science of herbalism with the art of herbalism, dipping gently into energetic realms to offer the student a well-rounded herbal perspective. Much of what is done is hands-on and interactive. The school is centered around the use and stewardship of local medicinal plants. WSBM was founded by, Nicole Telkes in 2005. Classes are mostly held in and around Austin, TX. Nicole Telkes has been teaching and practicing herbal medicine in Austin since 2001. Nicole decided to create the herb program after a decade of study as a deep ecologist in conservation, botany, herbalism, and bodywork. Due to Nicole’s strong environmental ethic, the program has an emphasis on bioregionalism, conservation, land stewardship, and forming deep connections to medicinal plants. Almost half of the program is held outdoors. The program blends oral tradition, science, art and spirit together to form a strong foundation to go forward in herbal studies. Students finishing the program will be able to grasp basic concepts in modern-day herbalism, including the growing and proper harvesting of herbs, herbal preparations, and herbal first aid use with family, friends, and clients. WSBM is excited to offer additional classes from both local and visiting herbal clinicians. The full program consists of 6 intensives totaling 145 hours of classroom and fieldwork, a new optional 30 hour Spiritual Herbalism Path and a new 100 hour advanced training apprenticeship totaling 275 hours. The WSBM also offers students the option to take single classes, intensives, or the entire program.
